Badger Kart Club, America’s largest active Kart Club has recently voted in and approved 3 different Briggs & Stratton LO206 classes for the 2015 Bridgestone Championship series.  LO206 Sportsman, LO206 Junior and LO206 Senior classes will line up on the grid for their championship debut when the track hosts its first Bridgestone Championship point series race on April 26, 2015.  BKC leaders and members strongly feel this is the next step in introducing and retaining drivers/families cost effectively within the great sport of Karting.

Briggs & Stratton Raceway Park located in Dousman, Wisconsin is the official facility sponsor of the 6/10 road course situated approximately 35 miles west of Milwaukee, WI.  The partnership between Badger Kart Club and Briggs & Stratton Corporation dates back multiple generations as many different Briggs and Stratton motor combinations have and will continue to be part of BKC’s weekly structured class championship series races.

“We are extremely excited about today and also about the future growth of karting with this announcement”, said Bingo Emmons, President of Badger Kart Club.  “We have always had a strong working partnership with Dave Klaus and the Briggs & Stratton Racing Division and we expect that relationship to strengthen for both organizations as we launch and properly promote these new classes to the Karting enthuiast”, said Emmons.

The LO206 engine package is a cost-effective platform designed around simplicity.  It provides a great way for people to get into karting but it also appeals to seasoned racers alike.   With the simplicity of oil, gas, and go, limited maintenance requirements and close, close racing the sealed LO206 engine allows drivers to concentrate on the chassis, as well as their driving techniques to gain the competitive advantages.  For more details on class requirements, please visit http://www.badgerkartclub.com.
