Some 10 tooth Rev3 clutch 8 tab baskets for 3 disc clutches.

Someone's going to be hooking up some serious power on short tracks.
Who says big power can't run small drivers?

Here are some of our Vector Cutz Hoosier "small small treads" for use on limited horsepower kart racing applications.

The right side tires roll out 34" and are plenty adequate for traction on karts running stock class (up to 25CHP) engines.
The tires are already sized up and ready to go, giving you normal staggers and ride heights for your chassis.

This set is: 1 1/2" front stagger
1 1/4" rear stagger.

Mounted, sized, staggered, cut, plateau finished, and balanced on VanK black wheels.

Running these tires allows you to easily switch from slicks to treads without changing your ride height or scaling numbers drastically. Those bigger tires were originally made for 250 & 500cc winged outlaw karts making them way too big for karts with typical kart engines.

These smaller size tires are already a huge weight reduction in rotating mass, and then they receive our Vector Cutz "blueprinting" which makes them lighter and faster yet.

If you run a class that mandates that you run a treaded tire, but does not dictate brand/compound/sizes, then this is the set for you!

DNQ Series tires - revisited.

A customer requested that we push the rules a bit further by cutting the shoulders on these DNQ tires while still meeting the minimum tread depth measured at 2 1/4" off the rim.

You've got to be specific with how close you want the rules pushed. Generally, we leave a little room for wear and rules compliance, but we're willing to do whatever the customer wants.

More clutch work @ Carlson Motorsports.

This 2 disc Bully clutch went through our standard rebuild/freshen-up recently.
The friction discs were within spec, so we were able to re-use them, saving the customer a good bit on his bill.
We will only replace parts that are out of spec or need replaced.
We will also replace parts that you want replaced (ex. cosmetic things like a new basket or spare new drivers, etc.)

Give us a call for all your clutch needs.

November 3, 2026 — AKRA LLC has announced the publication of Version 1 of its 2027 AKRA 4-Cycle Tech Manual, now available online at akraracing.com.

The updated technical ruleset will officially take effect on January 20, 2027. Until that date, the 2026 AKRA 4-Cycle Tech Manual will remain the governing ruleset for AKRA-sanctioned competition, including the remainder of the 2026 racing season and the first three weekends of January 2027.

Both the 2026 and 2027 editions of the AKRA 4-Cycle Tech Manual are currently available on the AKRA website. Racers, engine builders, race officials and industry members can access either document FOR FREE via the Rules dropdown tab on the main navigation menu at akraracing.com, on both desktop and mobile devices.

Among the most significant updates to the 2027 manual is a complete rewrite and reformatting of Section 8, which covers the Engine Tech Sheet for Box Stock 6.5 OHV (Clone Engine). The revised section provides an updated presentation of the technical specifications and regulations governing the popular Clone engine platform.

AKRA encourages all competitors, engine builders and technical inspectors to review the 2027 manual ahead of its January 20 implementation date to become familiar with the updated regulations.

Competitors participating in events prior to January 20 should continue to reference the 2026 manual for applicable engine technical regulations.
