Briggs Twin?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5202 of 5243 |
Can anyone tell me about a 'Briggs Twin"?

Have a new driver entered in F125 driving a Briggs Twin.

I know Briggs makes twins, didn't know they were used on karts.

What is the performance level of a Briggs Twin?
Does it exceed that of a 'normal' F125 moto based shifter?

Thanks,

Lindsay - Colorado Springs, CO

I would think the no front bumper would be a safety issue since even tho everyone tries to make a nice safe course, there are solid objects that can be hit if...

If it does not look like it would fall apart on the course let it run.  Reserve the right to deny it next time if it could outrun a shifter, which is highly...

It's simply not a listed configuration, plus a front bumper and side pods are required. If someone would like to send a letter requesting the SEB/KAC to look ...
