Taken from the lakc website:
| Quote: | The Los Angeles Karting Championship and Honda Performance Development are teaming up to introduce the Honda Kid Kart class to the west coast. Several organizations in the east are also working towards introducing the class which promises to expand and add to the Comer 51 Kid Karts now in use. The Honda GX50 engine is factory sealed and will provide our young competitors with a super reliable package with no special tuning allowed other than carburetor jetting. John Motley of Race Kart Engineering has put a dozen GX50’s on the dyno and he reports that the engines are incredibly consistent both from engine to engine as well as from day to day. John expects the engine to provide more than 1000 hours of use without major service other than valve lash adjustment.
HPD has prepared complete engine packages ready to mount on Kid Kart chassis with a clutch, throttle linkage hardware, motor mount, and chain guard all included. Just bolt it on your chassis, connect the throttle cable, add oil and fuel, and go. The GX50 will be run under official HPD rules which will be posted to the LAKC web site in the near future.

Brilliant! This deal can change karting from the ground up! I have 100+ hours on the prototype I have been testing and no problems.. My question is "What's the catch?" This is a serious game changer.
Kudos to LAKC for having a great vision and developing smart relationships:
RLV- The most intensely supportive engine importer I have ever seen.
HPD- The leader in smart, fast, and reliable engine power
SKUSA- The premier race promoter and sanctioning body.

Stewart, I couldn't agree more in all regards. I only wish the Hondas were an option when we were in kid karts--I would still have dark hair.
LAKC is offering a pretty amazing PRD package as well--depending on your class $600 to $1000 for a new motor after incentives!
