It was built specifically for racing with a sealed rules format that gives drivers equal performance and puts the emphasis on skill rather than expensive equipment. Because everyone has the same base engine the racing stays honest fun and competitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRacing That Is Always Close\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt tracks like New Castle Motorsports Park MCC Cincinnati and Whiteland Raceway Park you will routinely see entire fields running within a few tenths of a second. Long draft trains form down the straight and no one checks out by large margins. Position battles happen every lap which keeps the excitement level incredibly high for both racers and spectators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEngine Longevity That Saves Families Money\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LO206 engine is amazingly durable. Engines with five hundred hours can still perform within a few tenths of engines with under ten hours. The sealed design protects internal components from accelerated wear and keeps the performance level tightly grouped across different age engines. Routine oil changes air filter cleaning and gear checks are usually all that is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Friendly and Welcoming Racing Community\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most appreciated parts of LO206 racing is the friendly environment. Drivers and parents help each other constantly with tools spare parts and setup advice. If you forget something or need help someone in the paddock will always step in. This community feel is a major reason many families stay in the class year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCKNA National Events and Top Level Competition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cup Karts North America series brings together the best LO206 racers in the country. Even with large fields the racing remains incredibly tight. Draft strategy corner entry timing and perfect execution matter far more than raw power. It is high level competition that is still welcoming and accessible for new racers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Difference Between Built and Stock Engines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common question is how much difference there is between a stock crate LO206 engine and a hand selected built and tuned engine. Real world data shows the gap is around three tenths to seven tenths of a second depending on track length and driver skill. Built engines simply arrive optimized but stock crate engines remain fully competitive with proper setup and tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComprehensive Checklist of Required Items for LO206 Racing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Items\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClutch approved for LO206 racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClutch drive gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear axle gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine mount and mount hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain and master link\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir filter and filter housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust pipe and muffler assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust clamp and support brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrottle cable and return spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake system fully functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels and tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFuel and Oil Items\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved LO206 engine oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNinety octane pump fuel or event required fuel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel tank and cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunnel for clean oil changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIgnition and Tune Items\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarter box or pull starter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrack Side Tools and Spares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTire pressure gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain lube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprocket bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare spark plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZip ties and safety wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic pit tool kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith these items you can confidently race at any local or regional track and be fully prepared for practice qualifying and race sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are planning to start kart racing call us and we will walk you through everything you need to be successful and comfortable at the track.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the LO206 engine ready to race right out of the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the LO206 is a sealed crate engine designed for \"box stock\" racing. While the engine comes sealed from the factory, you will still need to install a clutch, motor mount, chain, and throttle linkage to get it track-ready. We recommend checking your local track's rulebook for specific class requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often should I perform maintenance on my LO206?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e The LO206 is incredibly low-maintenance. We recommend changing the oil after every race day or every 2-3 hours of runtime.
