CJKC Conducts Jr-1 Engine
By Eric Cody
Photos by Ryan Hiatt
The test engines are inspected before the test.
T
he Colorado Junior Karting Club
(CJKC) is an organization created
to provide an opportunity for young
people and their families to experience and grow in the sport of Karting.
The club is solely focused on “Jr”
drivers ages 5-15 within the Kid Kart,
Jr-1 and Jr-2 classes. Established in
2007, the club conducts organized
practice sessions, training events and
organizes Kart racing events throughout the state of Colorado. The CJKC
10
is sanctioned by the International Kart
Federation and its eight race series
comprises the IKF-4A Junior Karting
Championships.
The club has experienced incredible
growth in its first three seasons of
operation. The first season began with
just a handful of Kid Kart and Jr-1 participants, but as word spread of the
camaraderie and professional manner
in which the series was run, young
racers began to migrate to the club. The
2009 season saw consistent fields of 15
Kid Karts, 5 Jr-2s in its inaugural year
for that class and strong 24–28 entry
fields in Jr-1. The club also organized
a group of participants who raced in
the IKF 2 Cycle Grand Nationals in ’08
and ‘09.
The Engine Dilemma
One of the leading objectives, which
helped establish the CJKC, was creating a stable platform for families to
Selection Project
enter the sport. Central to this was
the issue of value relative to the significant investment required to go
racing. The club wished to establish
an equipment package for a minimum
of three years allowing families to
amortize the startup cost over several
seasons. Prior to the CJKC, some families were forced to update equipment
on a yearly basis resulting in higher
costs and the eventual fragmentation of classes, so engine stability was
an important goal. In 2007 the club
committed to the Comer C51 for Kid
Karts and the Comer K80 Jr-1 engine
package for a minimum of 3 years.
Availability of engines, parts, and
the recognition of most sanctioning
bodies were prime motivators in this
original decision. Operating under
IKF rules, the club saw participant’s
present engines with various levels of
preparation. Members would compete
with stock engines fresh out of the
box, others had used ones purchased
with the kart, while some would have
professionally blueprinted, prepared
and maintained engines. As with any
reputable series, a technical inspection
program at each event was provided
and the club has never had any sig
significant problems with illegal engines.
However, the cost to be competitive
has increased significantly over the
past few years and there has been
growing concern regarding engine
parity, (particularly in the Jr-1 class)
which is critical to the club’s inclusive
and developmental mission.
Unlike some racing series, the CJKC
is not owned or operated by a track,
race shop, or combination of the two.
This unique arrangement allows the
club to make decisions primarily
based on membership objectives as
a whole minimizing the influence of
potential windfall to self interest. The
first step in the engine review was to
gather the thoughts and concerns of
the membership on topics ranging
from cost control to their future racing
aspirations. This was done by issuing a
comprehensive survey to all members
of the club. While this survey did not
ask for engine recommendations by
name, the survey was geared to determine what level of cost control, equality, sanctioning, and performance the
members wanted as they entered the
next three to five year commitment
cycle. The intent was to use the results
of the survey to evaluate the potential
engines available to the club and were
asked how much they agreed or disagreed with questions such as:
“I would like to have an engine that
will last one full season with only
small maintenance.” -This question
was almost unanimously supported.
“I want an engine that is sanctioned
by a national governing body.” This
was an important concern overall.
“I would like to have an engine that
is sealed and cannot be opened for
internal adjustments by the owner or
professional tuners.” – A majority of
club members support the concept of
a sealed engine program.
11
The Engines and the Test
Immediately after the season ending
“Family Celebration and IKF Awards
Banquet,” the club began to solicit
engines for consideration for the Jr-1
division. The club was open to evaluate any and all engines that are considered appropriate for this class and age
group. The club received the following 7 engine combinations to evaluate
on the track:
• Blue Max Honda Clone
• Honda GX-200, Stock Production
Locally Sealed
• Briggs Racing LO206, Factory Sealed
• Honda GX-200, Locally Race
Prepared, Locally Sealed
• Rock
• IAME Gazelle
• Comer K80, Stock Production with
Vevey Pipe, Locally Sealed
Unfortunately, two other engine combinations, (Yamaha KT100 & Rotax)
that were promised to the club did not
arrive and therefore not evaluated. The
current Jr-1 club engine, an IKF/WKA
legal Comer K80 was not officially
evaluated as the club felt it had plenty
of data from three years of racing
that same combination. However,
there were several club members who
brought their Comer K80’s to the track
for the test day and were running with
the test motors during the sessions for
comparison.
The aim of the engine test was to
evaluate how each of them performed
with different drivers of various abilities. The club invited all current Jr-1
drivers to participate in the test with
18 drivers, including the top 5 finishers in the IKF regional championship,
taking advantage of the opportunity.
Each engine was mounted to a prepared chassis and the drivers were
cycled through for one session with
each motor. The club felt that by
keeping each engine attached to the
same kart and cycling the drivers
through, they could eliminate the
driver’s own chassis as the reason for
a driver’s times. Transponders were
also attached to keep track of lap times
for each driver/engine combination.
The club was extremely impressed
with the reliability and strength of each
motor with no engine failures or problems during the entire test. The club
was additionally impressed with how
easy some of the motors were to tune.
The reaction of the parents to each of
the engines was also closely watched.
The club was interested to gauge the
level of acceptance of the parents to
each engine as some had only raced the
current Comer K80 since they began
Karting. It was refreshing to see some
of the parents open up to other engines
and embrace ideas such as single-jet
carburetors, belt drives, and sealed
combinations. It was also interesting to
see some of the drivers really blossom
with the different engines. There were
the usual fast drivers running good
times, however some of the drivers
who typically were not at the front
of the field were right with the faster
drivers, which was one of the objectives the club was hoping to see.
The lap times were also meticulously
kept and evaluated. The club was specifically looking to see which motors
produced the most consistent lap times
across all drivers and there were some
surprising results. Some drivers were
actually faster with motors of lower
horsepower ratings. Interesting but
perhaps not surprising, was how different engines were faster in different
parts of the racetrack. For example, in
several sessions, the Briggs LO206 was
able to gain up on the IAME Gazelle
in the tighter cornering sections of the
track while the Gazelle would pull
away on the faster straight sections.
Amazingly, the overall lap times were
fairly close for all of the engines across
all of the drivers. (continued page 14)

The Final Step
Next, came merging the survey
results and the test session data. The
club then met as a group to review
these critical pieces of data as well
as overall recommendations from the
club leadership team. The first question was to establish whether or not a
change was warranted and if so, which
of the engines researched and tested
best fulfilled the club’s criteria and
to announce the 2010 program prior
to January 1st. With all the data and
survey results compiled the leadership
team made a presentation and recommended that the Briggs racing LO206
was the logical choice and that based
on its reasonable price point, should
be implemented in time for the start of
the 2010 racing season. A subsequent
vote was then held which resulted in
an 18 to 3 vote in favor of the Briggs
Racing LO206. We will also note that
based on the strength of the LO206, a
parallel review and test in the club’s
12-15 yr old class took place resulting
in an almost unanimous decision to
convert that class from TAG-Jr, (primarily Leopards) to the Briggs CIK
World Formula and will now be called
“Jr-2” also beginning in 2010.
This Honda was tested with a belt drive which was well received for club racing.
The process of surveying, tallying,
soliciting, testing, combining and
weighing all of the available information ended up being quite a project
and to our knowledge, had never been
done before, but the CJKC feels that it
was not only worth the effort but necessary in order to legitimately address
the concerns and issues that are critical
to the survival and growth of Karting.
The Colorado Junior Karting Club
would like to thank all of the suppliers and club members who generously
supplied engines, equipment, and the
valuable assistance that enabled this
one of a kind engine review. Additional information on the Colorado
Junior Karting Club can be found on
the club’s website at: www.coloradojuniorkartingclub.com
The drivers wait to take to the track for another test session.

3 More Join Kart Expo roundtable
discussion
The Franklin Motorsports Presents
Kart Expo brought to you by NKN 2010
recently announced this year’s Kart
Industry Roundtable times and topics.
The roundtable has been entitled “The
New Normal – Evolve Or Face Extinction In A Very Different World” and will
be held on Friday, February 26, 2010 at
The Pheasant Run Resort in St.Charles,
Illinois starting at 9AM.
The Roundtable Board Roster is now
complete with the additions of Mike Clements, Jim Keasling and Curt Paluzzi
making this industry gathering a significant, must-attend-event for karting.
Mike Clements IS the prime innovator
of all things 'Billet' for Briggs & Stratton
Racing engines. An engine with all the
aftermarket billet components designed
by Mike Clements sits in the Briggs &
Stratton lobby in Milwaukee since it was
first requested by them in 1994. He has
earned 3 U.S. Patents on Internal Combustion Engine design that have proven
to help reduce harmful exhaust emissions from gas and diesel engines. In the
Summer of 1992 Mike set a World Land
Speed record for 4 cycle karts on the
Salt Flats of Bonneville, Utah. His kart
ran 144.832 mph with the help of the
Tecumseh Star power and the Emmick
chassis.
Jim Keasling is an innovative thinker
and is the owner of The Track at Centennial, one of the most modern kart racing
facilities in the US. Located just south
of Denver near the Denver Technology
Center, The Track at Centennial is recognized as one of the nation’s top tracks
to host renters, private events and competitive kart drivers. The Track will host
the six race Mile High Challenge club
series, the 24-hours at The Track endurance race, Rotax of the Rockies qualifying series for the Rotax Grand Nationals,
and will deliver the four race competition regional series, Racing the Rockies
in 2009.
Curt Paluzzi is the Editor/Publisher
of Indiana-based National Kart News,
the country's leading karting magazine
since 1986. His deep passion and dedication to the sport is widely recognized
by the karting industry and is evident
in the coverage in the magazine each
month. Mr. Paluzzi was also the founder
and driving force behind the extremely
popular Elkhart (IN) Grand Prix during
the 1990's. At that time, the annual street
race was the largest event of it's kind in
the world.
Darrell Sitarz said, “I am confident
that this will be one of the most significant industry gatherings in many years.
My thanks to Tony Stewart for taking
the lead in bringing this stellar roster of
experts to Kart Expo.”
“As Tony has said in the previous
press release, the karting industry is not
immune to the new economic landscape
and you either adopt or you cease to
exist. This Kart Industry Roundtable has
some of the genuine and accomplished
leaders of the industry and they represent the core of the major categories
comprising our business.”
