206 Cup Potentially Adding A Heavy Class For The Remainder Of The Season!
It’s been a busy week since the opening round of the Briggs and Stratton 206 Cup. We are finally getting caught up, and have lots of good news for all of our competitors. From special offers to a revised format, the Briggs and Stratton 206 Cup is listening to our racers and giving them what they asked for, and more!!! Photos and Video’s from Round 1 are now available in the MEDIA tab of the website. We still have more to upload as well! We have decided to eliminate the Kid Kart class for the remainder of the 2015 season. Although we value the importance of this class to grow karting as a whole, we feel that club level racing […]

206 Cup/CES Challenge
About a month ago, CES organizer Dave Larson reached out to us. Although the main purpose for the phone call was to compare notes on rules to make sure racers from CES could join the fun of 206 Cup, it got the ball rolling on the idea of the 206 Cup / CES Challenge. As both series unintentionally had non conflicting schedules, it seemed possible. Already having a good following of Animal Racers, CES hopes to gain interest from racers using the 206 engine. 206 Cup hopes that some of the Animal racers that traditionally only run long track events will come and try their hand at sprint racing. Once Briggs got wind of our discussions, things started to happen […]
Target Distributing Signs On As A Supporting Sponsor

In particular, they will be providing an assortment of their Kart Racewear and EK Chain products as awards and prizes for our racers! This is just one of many sponsorships we have secured that the benefits go 100% to our racers. With out all of you, these companies and our series wouldn’t exist! Together, we are all putting 4 cycle karting back on the map!
Another Karting Giant Shows Their Support!
As the word spreads about the 206 Cup, more and more people are reaching out to show their support of our series and the idea of affordable karting for the masses.

Two of these supporters have stepped up to the plate to help us further the series and help it grow! Thank you to State Line Signs and TW Metals for your support!
The Briggs And Stratton 206 Cup Doubles Down, Adding Three Animal Classes To The 2015 Lineup!
There has been a lot of talk and speculation in regarding the potential of Animal classes being added to the Briggs and Stratton 206 Cup. The time to speculate is over! The series will now feature 3 different Animal classes for the entire schedule of the 2015 season! Animal classes were always in the long term plans for the 206 Cup. Although the 206 platform will always be the heart and soul of the series, we knew that the Animal program was the next logical step for us as a series and racers looking to move to a faster class. But with the numerous requests from racers and the blessing of Briggs and Stratton, we have moved up our time […]
The Long Awaited Rain Tire Decision
We have received a lot of emails asking what the spec rain tire will be for the 2015 season at the Briggs and Stratton 206 Cup races. To be honest, we had not addressed the rain tires with anybody, including our tire partner VEGA USA. We reached out to VEGA, asking them for guidance. Vega’s W5 rain tire is quite possibly the best rain tire on the market, and they truly believe anybody that has the circumstance to use them will love them. At the same time, they realize that our series is based around the idea of affordable racing, and some of our racers may not have the budget to buy new rain tires, especially if they already have […]
Vega Tires Has Been Named The Spec Tire For the Briggs And Stratton 206 Cup
We are pleased to announce that we have formed a partnership with Vega Tire USA to design a SPEC tire program that directly benefits our racers. Although we have been keeping this under our hats for a while, VEGA has agreed to pay a portion of every racers entry fees which is a big part of how we were able to keep the entry fees as low as we have. The Spec tire for the series will be the Vega FH. It was chosen for a variety of reasons: It is a medium/hard compound that will work well on the variety of chassis styles we have in our series. It is a natural rubber tire, and heat cycles extremely well […]
