Please contact new members of the U. S. 13 Kart Club operating board, to express your interest in having a "successfull" clone class at the track. I agree there needs to be some affordable, entry level class that "new" racers would be attracted to. We are running low on new recruitment for sure. In comparison to other areas, our clone introduction on the shore has come with limited success. Research what other tracks are doing, or have done. Many southern tracks in particular have eliminated the claimer rules, which IMO is not a good thing, and is not what was originally intended. Many tracks lifted the claimer rule, added money to win, which attracted more experienced racers, which in the vicious circle of competition, resulted in more time being spent on motor packages. Time = Money. If you want to have this class successfully available, and affordable, then keep the claimer rules as was originally intended.

The US13 Kart Club will be offering adult racers two clone engine competition classes. The details of the race structure are being reviewed by the Competition Committee and will be posted as soon as they are complete and approved by the Board. The following rules have been approved and will define the competition classes.
“Pure Box Stock”- 2012 AKRA box stock clone engine rules in their entirety including claimer. The ONLY exceptions being open clutch, and any Maxxis tire. Complete 2012 AKRA engine rules will be posted.
“Box Stock”- 2012 AKRA box stock clone engine rules in their entirety. The ONLY exceptions being no claimer, use of ARC non-adjustable billet aluminum flywheel allowed, open clutch, and any Maxxis tire.
The class names are subject to change however the rules will be enforced as posted. Thank you all for the interest and suggestions!

So you go from having zero clones last year to having 2 classes of clones with basically the same rule package? And I assume you will be using AKRA Box Stock rules, and not AKRA Builders Prepared rules? Who are the new officers and race director?

Steel "billet" flywheels are mandatory in 2012 AKRA box stock rules beginning 7/1/12. I have edited my original post to state AKRA box stock clone engine rules. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

As long as everyone runs the same equipment the races would be very competitive and fun for all racers. But, i think you would definitely need a claiming rule. you are right though that in the south clones are becoming the rule instead of the exception. But when you start building these engines up are you saving money or just sending more money to China? need strict rules, good tech, and a fair claming price. Just my thoughts. Leroy Smith

Was hoping a cheaper class at delmar would be more attractive to all racer's like myself that want to race but with less expense or that have quit for the cost factor and want to get back in with a low budget class. I really thought a class like this would help karting in the area mainly for the racer who does'nt need points or money but just loves to PLAY IN THE CLAY.
