As far as the answer to the original question that was posed at the start of this thread, the answer is definitely a yes.
Show up to anyone of "The Northeast Vintage Kart Promoter's Cup Series" events and you will find a class for you.
Now, in response to some of the options suggested regarding the classes, I don't know....... a WB820 is an awful lot of motor to be in the "Historic" class.
In "Historic" there are WB580s, Mc5, 6, and 7, Mc10, and maybe a 20, all of which are way smaller engines when compared to a WB820.
I would think going into Sportsman with a controlled exhaust and dry clutch, or even 8.2 rear and just starting in the back would be a much better option.
At some point, back in the day, we were all new to this. It worked out perfectly fine to start out in the class that our engine was specified for.
If someone is new just put that "X" on the back of your helmet and opt to start in the back until you're ready to be in the mix of things.
