I say lets start a clone class make it stock with a header and well seal them at the track it would be fun I think I could even get my wife into that class well make it 13years and up with a minum wiegt of say 330 like yammi light and if thers alot of heavy will mod the rules heaver. Well make it a claimer class for 50$bucks you can swap engines if you were in the same main with another driver if one motors is obviosly to fas will mark it and make it have a wieht penalty come on joe lets make it happen it will me like racin at traxx but on DIRT oval some weeks we should go backwards ausie style

Personally i am not a fan of claimer rules... i like my motors...and take care of them. And if my motor was tired, what would stop me from paying $50 and buying someones brand new motor? I like protest rules to keep it fair...but not claimer.
So how many people are serious about running a clone class? What rules package are we looking at? Personally i like the ones that allow the billet rod and flywheel. Head stock out of the box, And a max of 30 over bore for rebuilding. Once you get the flywheel you will have it forever, and if we run the rods with inserts, they should last almost forever too. I have seen these for $399 already to bolt on, with the billet goodies on them, and with the chain guard. Also if we impose a shoe clutch rule... those are under $60 already set up for a clone. The motors make 11-13 hp in that form from what i have read...so it would be good racing.
Im game.

How do you feel about the flywheel and rod? I was told they are pretty dull to drive as is....but if you allow the flywheel and rod....then they at least have a lil power.
I am game either way. But i would love to see them have the power similar to a wazoom.
Mr Dix...time for you to chime in. I dont know much about these tiller motors... But what the heck....sounds fun!!

ding dong ..ding dong <..................(chiming) me ? lol.....do we really need another class? they are running them back east, some of the kart shops are really catering to clone racing...... i am all for cheap racing....but do we really want to go there ? right now we have a growing 4/ class ....no flatties.....is it going to take racers from the other animal classes? www.sunsetspeedway.org/ sunset speedway run them and seem to be happy ...check out their rules. if we do run the clone ,maybe the spokane guys will come over. personally we don't need another class to take from what we have now , but if we have the rules and three for a class show up then we will be prepared as far as rules? then lets let them run....... i would rather the stock animal and mod classes to fill up first.

Mr Dix... makes sense. But can you help me... i know nothing about the tiller motors. So if i am considering putting together a 2nd chassis for the weekends where open has a poor turnout... how much am i looking to get into each of the animal classes. For a new , race ready, prepped package? mod and stock? Which has the better turnout?
Thanks

well jeffy....check the points winter and summer ...that will give you the turn out numbers.........as you know speed = dollars. the stock animal is of coarse cheaper.......mr. stackman would be better to answer your questions...as i am just starting to aquire ohv stuff...........i have 3 jr.1's coming up ...........so i am on a learning curve.......
if it were me a second chassis/combo for you would be the yammie class.......
i know is a pro prepped ltd. mod. is 1800+ sheckles...an stock animal is bout 1200-1300......plus all the goodies.......used package ....who knows......a LO206 is about 500-600 bucks.....a uncle franks ohv blue wazoom is 1k...........nothing is cheap
we're about to order 3 jr1 motors............

I just got bored of the yammie class so i was looking for something new. I want to learn something and challenge myself i guess. I even considered playing with a used open OHV motor for the open class just as something new. A 305 or GX390 might be a fun toy.

Stock Animal in the box is $465 and you receive a $50 gift certificate from Turk Bros; 001 or 002 from Dynocams is around $75; ARC billet rod Turk Bros or Dynocams sells them for around $75; $40 for an alcohol kit for the carb; around $40 for the exhaust pipe and $40 for the silencer - and you're in the ball park for a stock animal. That runs around $700.
Limited Modified Animal head is around $210 for a modified, ported and polished head from Turk Bros or Dynocams - call for the best price. .... 310 cam from Dynocams is about $95;...... ARC heavy duty modified animal rod is about $90;.... for a Tillotson 304wx Alky carb that's done right (blueprinted) is about $350 or you can get a PZ26 from Faster Motors for about $150 and the alcohol kit for about $45 (it may come with that, I'm not sure); and $45 for a modified exhaust and $45 for the silencer. (There is a difference between the stock and modified mufflers). That runs around $1150 - $1300 depending on which carb you choose.
If you need any help putting it together email or call me . . .

what kind of maint between races (i am not talking about changing the oill.. i mean internal maint of the engine).
How many races between rebuilds? how many races does the rod and piston last? Do the rods get weak in these and have to be replaced occasionaly? Just trying to learn here...
thanks

Well Jeff, Anna's motor had 40 races on it at the BK2 race with only rings in it at 18 races or so, didn't need them then but had it opened up so we did it anyway Hooter's had 28 on it ..don't know if we needed to or not but did it just to make sure it was right ... new cam, new rod, new crank bearings, new valves,and spring they go for a long time and run good

So would the cost of a clone using the above rules be? Engine $100 Flywheel $100 Cam $100 Rod $60 Head port work $100? Exhaust $80 total $540 Plus shipping. Is there enough difference in price between a clone and a stock animal to justify the class? Would a box stock class like they run in Spokane be fast enough to be interesting?
can the class take off without a local shop to support the special parts?

well the spokane boys seem to like them alot.....they say they are not that much slower the other classes....
i like their rules better.......and if we need to race with them , don't you think we should be in line with rules already in use?
another class.....yeah but if you are club building why snub racers?
