CUP KART NEWS

First off, we’d like to wish everybody reading this a Merry Christmas! Although it is a holiday, we wanted to let everybody in on some exciting news. We have been working for the last few months with different series and clubs around the country to try and align all of our groups to the same set of rules. For far too long, differences in rulebooks made it difficult for racers to travel to other regions. It was confusing to racers why things were different, and often far too costly to make their equipment compliant on top of the unavoidable costs of traveling to these new races. Because of the tremendous success of our 2015 rulebook, we are extremely proud to

Although we did not do a very good job of promoting it, the 206 Cup awarded each RIGP class winner in either a 206 class or the Margay Ignite Shootout free entry to our final round or racing in Shawano. What we didn’t expect was for one driver to sweep 4 of those 5 classes! Tony Neilson of 61 Kartway reached out to me today, and asked if he could donate his entry to a worthy competitor that might want to visit the epic track that is USAir Motorsports. Tony won’t be able to make the event himself, but wanted to help somebody else make the race. So, we will be giving away two entries for the entire weekend in

We have updated a few minor rules within our ruleset, as well as clarified some things people had questions about. Please make sure to download the latest copy of our rules from the rules tab of the website! We are also excited to announce that our rulebook has been accredited by TAG Racing International and TAG Racing USA! This is just another sign that we are on the right path of making Sprint Kart racing affordable AND competitive again!

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 has agreed to become a supporting sponsor of the Briggs and Stratton 206 Cup for the 2015 Racing Season. Target Distributing carries a ton of different products for karting. 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!
