( New )BS Class ( Box Stock Class )

FKA Racing, Inc. introduces a new Box Stock class for the 2008 season. The intent is to have an affordable class that anyone can ride and have fun. This class will participate in the points system and a champion awarded a leather jacket at the end of the season. It will also be part of the senior classes that pays out money after each race. The concept is quite simple, let’s make use of  the older karting chassis’ laying around and go racing. The most important thing about the BS class is, it must have purpose, direction, tech and a set of rules that everyone in the class must adhere too. We will monitor our rules and if necessary adjust accordingly.

The following rules apply to the new BS Class:

Must meet FKA or ( participating track ) age to race this class. Must be 15 years of age by October 2008 to race FKA Senior classes.

Weight for BS Class:  Minimum 375 lbs. ( weight & age to be determined by track or series )

Spec engine:  ( OHV ) 6.5hp 196cc  This is the only engine allowed for the BS Class.

The engine can be purchased for under $200

The only modifications allowed to the engine are: You can disconnect or remove the governor. You can disconnect the oil sensor and off/on switch.

Gasoline Only:  87 -  93 octane rating. ( to be checked with -digatron fuel meter )

Spec Tires:  Maxxis EL tires Only ( $155 set ). You will only need one set!

Spec Clutch:  Shoe type clutch Only, Max Torque, etc. ( clutches range in price $35 - $85. Clutch driver must be a 16 tooth.   ( track or series may adjust tooth on clutch driver ) You can run any back gear. 35 chain only.

Claimer Rule: You must finish in the top 5 to purchase the winners engine for $200 ( minus the clutch/chain guard/throttle kit ). The engines in this class will be teched by FKA tech officials the same as any other class ( FKA/AKRA tech rules apply ). Anyone refusing to tear down or sell their engine ( by the claimer rule ) will be disqualified and not allowed to race ( in the BS Class ) for the remainder of the season! ( sorry but the penalty has to be stiff for this class to work ).

I will have tech measurements on this engine out soon.
