Briggs 305cc ANIMAL race motor from 2008 introduction

[Scottusa]

I have ( hopefully) attached a PDF file which is an article about the engine from the magazine
"KARTING WORLD" I'm thinking Briggs must have a very similar commercial engine and they
do have a Vanguard motor of the same displacement. Is this the same motor such that it
shares parts with the "Animal" ?

I got an error message uploading the PDF file. It said my file was 834KB and the max allowed is 19KB.
In any case it was a great writeup about a new motor Briggs introduced in 2007 or 2008 called the Briggs 305 Animal.
It had 305cc displacement. They were talking about racing them at over 7000 rpm and I googled today and they
are selling for $580. That sounds pretty good for about 12 or 14 hp I think.

I can email this PDF to anyone that knows of a good place to put it so we can all share via link.
