If you start with Rye House then their championship series are Comer W60 (2 stroke); Honda Clubman and Honda (4 stroke). The biggest grids are for Hondas so it may depend where else you want to race - have a look at their websites to see what they run.
There is also the WTP (2 stroke) and also Easykart (2 stroke). WTPs are not very common at most tracks and Easykart is a national series so no club racing.

Honda clubman uses the same equipment as Honda cadets but I believe they have a rule that any driver can buy another driver's engine for a fixed amount - this is to try and stop the `special, selected parts engines'.

Finally, there is the new 2 stroke Iame engine which replaces the Comer W60 as the official British Cadet Championship engine. This is another option but as it is new it is difficult to predict how quickly clubs will run this class. You also will only have the option of buying new engines.

It is well worth taking the time to visit Rye and other tracks you may want to race at and talk to the cadet drivers/parents before buying anything - most are very friendly and will be happy to chat with you (more so on a Saturday test day that the Sunday race day).

MSa racing means that you need a licence from the MSA and all equipment has to be in accordance with their rules/regulations. You can view these online in the Blue and Gold books.

Non-MSA is run to whatever rules the club decide although these may well be very similar to MSA ones. You do not need a licence and there may be more flexibility on tyre choice and engine/chassis tollerances. This can make it much cheaper but could also mean that you are not racing like-for-like.

Generally, Honda has been cheaper than comer but now that the comer is not the official championship engine there should be some excellent engines available at reasonable money.
