I can't get the guidelines to come up on VKA's site, something is wrong with their link or pdf, but if I remember correctly 100cc is allowed even in rear engine karts. That in my opinion is too much power for them. There are quite a few of these kids that just run vintage a handful of times per year, it would maybe be a different story if they ran every week. We attend some combo weekends at Delmar and Brodhead, where Juniors run modern and run vintage classes separately. I know some of the parents that run their kids in modern classes and they are a bit shocked by the straight-away speeds that the vintage kids run, which is much faster than the modern karts minus the ability to corner as fast as the modern kart. They are really scratching their heads on the safety of it. I think the juniors should be limited to 80cc, dry clutch, no pipe, limitation on carb size, in my opinion. Plenty fast, and for some that run engines like Jeff and I do, we would out run a 100cc stock motor anyways. Now if the kid is running a 100cc modified, that's pretty crazy at less than 100 pound driver weight.

As to the cost, I'm with Jeff, its not too much.
