Precision Engine Development: The MC Engines Standard

At Swift Karting, development isnโ€™t just a step in the process.. itโ€™s our daily mission. Under the direction of Mark Cerk, weโ€™ve dedicated countless hours to refining the Briggs & Stratton LO206 platform through MC Engines, combining data analytics with real-world track validation.

Every engine begins on our in-house flow bench, where intake and exhaust paths are precisely mapped to optimize airflow while remaining 100 % class legal. We measure port velocity, valve seat profiles, and chamber volume to ensure balanced power delivery across all four cycles.

From there, engines are transferred to our dyno cell for repeated controlled test cycles. We log torque, horsepower, fuel consumption, and clutch engagement across the entire RPM range. These data sets reveal efficiency losses and friction zones that our technicians correct with micrometer precision. Each powerplant is heat-cycled, tuned, and validated until it meets the MC Engines benchmark for reliability and consistency โ€” the same level of confidence our race team trusts every weekend.

Chassis Development: The Swift Racing Advantage

The Swift Racing Chassis line is constantly evolving through rigorous on-track testing and simulation. We test multiple frame geometries, tubing diameters, and seat placements to discover how small changes impact grip, balance, and responsiveness.

Telemetry from test drivers helps us analyze weight transfer, caster/camber effect, and lateral load through every corner. Tracks like Whiteland Raceway Park and New Castle Motorsports Park (NCMP) serve as our development playgrounds, offering a range of grip levels and temperature profiles to stress our designs.

Every adjustment โ€” from axle stiffness to front geometry tweaks โ€” is data-logged, compared, and refined. The end result is a chassis that feels alive under braking, stable mid-corner, and planted on exit. Each frame carries the Swift hallmark: precision handling with predictable, balanced feel lap after lap.

Digital Instrumentation: The Next Leap in Karting Tech ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ“Š

Swift Karting is engineering the future of driver data. Two major projects are currently in advanced prototype testing โ€” our Digital Air Gauge & Lap Timer and our High-Frequency Clutch Speed Analyzer.

  • ๐Ÿ’จ Digital Air Gauge & Lap Timer System A smart handheld tool that records pre- and post-session tire pressures, automatically logging hot and cold data with time stamps. It lets teams monitor pressure drift throughout the day and fine-tune setups based on temperature and grip evolution. Durable, waterproof, and race-day ready.
  • โš™๏ธ High-Frequency Clutch Speed Sensor A new micro-data device designed to measure micro-slip between crankshaft and clutch drum at up to 600 Hz. This system provides previously unseen insight into clutch behavior, showing exactly when and how the clutch engages or slips under load giving racers data to perfect engagement settings for maximum acceleration.

Both devices are part of our larger vision: bringing professional-level telemetry and precision tools to everyday kart racers. No guesswork. No โ€œfeel only.โ€ Just measurable improvement.

Data, Dyno & Dedication: A Year of Relentless Progress ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The last year has been one of the most productive in Swift Karting history. Weโ€™ve invested heavily in expanding our development lab with state-of-the-art engine dynos, flow benches, and high-resolution data acquisition systems. These upgrades allow us to simulate real track conditions in a controlled environment, eliminating variables and isolating what truly makes our products faster and more durable.

Weโ€™ve logged hundreds of hours studying how oil temperature, air density, and clutch friction affect lap-time consistency. Every discovery feeds back into production, from the next batch of MC Engines to upcoming chassis revisions. Whether testing airflow, timing, or RPM response, our mission is simple: transform raw data into tangible performance.

Beyond the dyno room, our field testing team runs continuous trials with prototype components validating not only peak power but long-term durability under race stress. Each test brings us closer to a perfect balance between speed, efficiency, and dependability.

Driven by Racers, Built for Racers ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ช

Guided by Mark Cerk, Swift Kartingโ€™s development philosophy remains the same: Can we make it faster, simpler, or more reliable? Every tool, chassis, and engine we design answers that challenge.

Our workshop is filled with racers, builders, and engineers who share a passion for precision. We build with purpose from the first weld on a Swift Chassis to the last torque spec on an MC Engine. Our digital systems, like the upcoming Swift Digital Air Gauge and Clutch Speed Analyzer, carry that same DNA of accuracy and innovation.

At the Swift Karting Development Center, data and craftsmanship live side by side. Every number logged, every graph plotted, and every lap recorded brings us closer to perfection and you closer to the podium.
