  1. I would love to see Briggs develop a smaller engine for Kid Kart. They have a 127cc engine that is much smaller and lighter and would be great for the class.

    • Interesting idea Jeff. I think for now, the ability to go from Kid Kart to Senior with the same engine is something that was part of the original concept. It was really cool seeing the Kid Kart Briggs 206 in action for the first time at the CKNA Grand Nationals 3.
