_Spec Engine
Hand-built in Milwaukee, WI, using tooling and dies specifically for racing for unparalleled repeatability, the Briggs LO206 engine is the staple for competitive kart racing across the United States. The key to the LO206’s success is the factory-issued seal with engine ensure. A reliable, sealed power plant with tight tolerances puts each racers fate in their own driving abilities and ensures that each engine package runs identically.
_Spec Tire
Manufacturing kart racing tires since 2006, Hoosier Tire has placed an emphasis on creating durable high performance tires that meet our customers needs. The Ignite series will utilize the Hoosier R80 tire. The R80 is a harder compound providing a nice blend of durability and performance.

Want to get into karting but don't know how? Well here is an easy way to do so!
We at Kart Idaho have an easy way for you to test the waters or commit to a full year of fun in one of our Margay Ignite K3 packages. These karts are proven winners across the country against all makes and models and have had more success at Kart Idaho than any other chassis. This is a program based upon getting new racers into the sport while also becoming independent at the same time by being able to learn how to work on their kart and not rely on anyone else to get them on the track on raceday. THIS IS NOT AN ARRIVE AND DRIVE PROGRAM. This program is based around those racers that don't know anything but want to learn and grow into the sport many of us love. Don't worry if you know your stuff and are just looking to rent a kart this is for you as well. We also have racing programs available for you to race in where you can go out and just have a good time or race against some of the best 4 cycle kart racers in the Northwest. There are limited karts so act fast! Below you will find our two options for you to explore.
