The Champions Cup Finale is just around the corner
The 2019 karting season has been incredible, and the battle for top honors in the CKNA Champions Cup is closer than ever in nearly every class! Nearly every class is up for grabs in the final weekend of racing, taking place in Camden Ohio August 17th – 18th. This final race at G&J Kartway could be our biggest race yet for 2019. Not only are there many close points battles, but many of our dedicated sponsors and supporters are planning on making this event as well with their customers. We’ve even talked to many of our karting friends from the North that are planning to make the trip down from Canada! $25 off tires for new racers! The management at […]
Important clarification on 206 clutches
Today, Briggs and Stratton came out with a technical bulletin regarding a new clutch that became available earlier this year. Briggs Rule Clarification The clutch in question had previously been permitted at CKNA events in 2019. However, now that Briggs has officially deemed it as non-complaint, we too must follow suit. Effective immediately and until further notice, they will not be permitted for use in competition. Even though our series has it’s own rule book, we have always followed the official Briggs & Stratton rule set of the 206 for all items addressed including the Engine, Exhaust and Clutches. These rules have provided an extremely level playing field for our competitors and has been apart our success, as well as […]
MRP Record Breaker
Well we’ve done it again! Our last visit to South Bend’s Michiana Raceway Park saw respectable numbers. We had just over 100 entries on the weekend counting Saturday and Sunday. Being it was our first ever visit to the track, we we’re happy with the turn out. 2019 appears to be a little different. With just pre-entries alone, we are well over the 150 mark by the same math, with many racers still planning to register at the gate when they arrive! The support we are getting from the karting community is truly inspiring. It is a lot of effort and hard work to put on events like ours. It makes it all worth while when the racers respond and […]

Rules update rev19.1 now available
Like we have always said, we will listen to our competitors. As the Spring Nationals draw near, it is obvious that people are dragging their karts out of the garage and getting ready because we have been receiving a lot of rules questions over the past 3 weeks. Some of the questions have prompted us to adjust a few rules. Although there were numerous changes made to the rule book (which are all highlighted in RED), here are the ones we feel are substantial enough to mention and bring to everybody’s attention separately: (Page 6, Tires) There was some confusion if new tires we’re a requirement for the Spring Nationals. Just like any Divisional event, any Vega VAH tires are […]
Sponsor Referral Program
Refer a Sponsor and you race FOR FREE!!! Attention all CKNA Racers: A series like ours relies on sponsors to make it all work. Over the past few years, we’ve been fortunate to have some really great sponsors who have helped us grow in to the organization we are today. The majority of our sponsors have stayed with us for multiple years because they’ve seen the value of supporting 206© racing and the direction our series is going in. 2019 is no different. The majority of our previous sponsors have already committed to 2019! But as 206© racing continues to grow in popularity, more and more companies are getting involved by developing new parts, tools and accessories specifically for our […]
Our best tire promotion ever!
That’s right, you can get free tires at the Spring Nationals at Concept Haulers! We spent a lot of time this off season trying to figure out what programs and specials we could put together to attract more racers to our events. We also wanted to design some programs to reward our racers that attend every single CKNA event year in and year out. We’re very excited that through the help of our sponsors, we can do both! New Racer Program: Often times, people are tentative to try a new track or series because they have to buy a new/different set of tires. Now, these racers will be able to try the greatest four-cycle series in America for much less! […]
Briggs is Back Baby!!!
There are many companies that are important to karting, but the biggest name in 4-cycle kart racing is undoubtedly Briggs & Stratton! All the way back to the “Flat Head” days, Briggs has played a pivotal role in the growth of 4-cycle karting. In 2008, they revitalized the sport we all love with the release of the 206 engine. As we all know, the 206 is at the heart of the Cup Karts North America program. The simple, cost effective and user friendly package are exactly what our program is all about. We are very proud to announce that Briggs & Stratton has decided to continue sponsoring Cup Karts in 2019. Even better, they are increasing their support! Thanks to […]
