L206- Junior

Briggs L206: Ages 7-12 Green Carb Slide, Ages 12-15 Yellow Carb Slide

The intention of these rules is to make a fair and affordable racing class for kids.  Emphasis is placed on driver and setup not who has the hottest engine or most expensive clutch. Money is better spent on practice and seat time.  WMKC rules are meant to be kept simple to avoid “the gray areas” of a more complex rule book.
