open fuel , open tire , single carb .
billet block or head I don't believe allowed .
I'm interested in ones that allow OHV Briggs or other engines.
I suspect that this is also the reason why the UAS, and other groups like it, are struggling. I used to race in the UAS here in Fl. as well as other classes. When they started allowing every conceivable engine to run, including the Jawa, Wankel, Rotax, etc. and with almost no C.I limit, the class started to fall apart- almost immediately. It became too chaotic. The UAS started doing this nationally, and now, predictably, they are having problems all over the country.
I don't know where you are getting your facts from, but you could not be more wrong. Since the UAS started allowing the Jawa, Wankel and other engine types, they have become the fastest growing class in the USA. Last years UAS Grand National had around 55 karts show up, and that was with a SouthEastern Hurricane blowing wildly, that kept about 25 karts from the deep South from attending (the big sissies didn't want to drive to/from in 100-150 MPH winds !!!). Some of the tracks have tried to run a local RWYB series and some have even tried the small open classes without much success. They have mixed the 2 and 4 strokes in a 'Limited Outlaw' class in the Carolina's and had some decent turnouts (Kent Holyfield has been running them). You mention the Big O and GKK races but failed to mention that they also ran a UAS class (that has gotten bigger each year).
While you may like the smaller CI open classes, some of us like the Big Power classes and I personally think there is room for both of them in kart racing without distorting the facts about either of them.
Here's where i'm coming from:
I'd like to support this class by making parts specifically designed for it but not if there is only one track (in some neck of the woods of Ky)
No offense Mike
No stroker cranks, billet blocks, heads or side covers, and no 2 cycles.... Also mandate grooved tires and 360lb weight minimum.... rules that are simplistic to check each and every night....Spin
What do you mean by limited modifications allowed?
