What you need to go Box Stock (Clone) Racing

The Box Stock (Clone) class requires very little maintenance and is very inexpensive to race, a competitive ready
to race kart can be assembled for $600-$1000 very easy with a used chassis.
It’s a perfect class for new and old racers on a budget or that just want to
race without the higher cost associated with most 2 cycle classes. There are
several motors that are legal, the most popular is the Harbor Freight 6.5hp OHV
motor that can be purchased as low as $99.99 with a discount coupon.


We use 87 octane pump gas and most of us use old tires, you must use 4.50 tires on the front and 6.00 on the rear.
We race with the AKRA rules with a few modifications for sprint racing. There is a $200 claimer rule
on the motor & carburetor only. No internal modifications to the motor or carburetor
are allowed other then removing the governor, jetting and adding a pulse pipe for the fuel pump. The fuel tank must be
removed from the engine and will be replaced with
a remote floor-pan mounted fuel tank and a pulse-style fuel pump.
The
pump may be pulsed from either the crankcase, or the rocker cover
See rules for further details.


There are a number of online dealers you can buy parts from, however you can get
everything you need from ARC Racing except the motor mount. Tom Cole is great
guy to deal and an innovator of the Box Stock class. ARC Racing sells a kit that has 80% of
everything you will need for the motor, the other parts are listed below in the
links. Most of us use a 15t driver for the clutch for most sprint tracks, total prep time for
the motor is usually about 30 minutes the first time you do it. Please see the link below for
removing the governor.


You will also need #35 chain and split sprockets, most of the local kart shops sell
them. Mount the sprocket carrier inside the bearing carriers, be sure the kart
you purchase has a keyway for this or you will need to buy a new axle. We have
found that the BMI motor mount works on every American and European kart we have put them on
since it's adjustable side to side as well as back and forth.


Here are some useful links for parts and information you will need;
