GENERAL RACING RULES

Disqualification will result for any item that has falls off the kart or driver during a race. The race director will have the final determination to display a black flag if the item in question is a hazard to other competitors if loose. An example but not limited to would be a muffler, air filter, neck collar, body part etc.

DRIVERS CAPABILITY

Any driver upon request from race officials must satisfactorily demonstrate their driving capability. The race director may ask at least two competitors from the senior classes to be observers and give a report back to the race officials. If the driver in question does not pass the driver capability to race the driver will be given a refund minus the pit pass fee.

ENGINE PROTEST

Any protest of engine legality must be submitted in writing to the race director, head scorer. Within 15 minutes of the completion of the class feature race.

Protest fees for engines are 75.00.

Money will be refunded to the protester if the engine is found to be illegal.

If legal, the engine owner will receive 50.00 of the protest fee.

Driver with illegal engine will not receive points for that event.

FUEL INTEGRITY

In order to maintain fuel integrity, at the discretion of the race director a random draw of kart #’s at the drivers meeting will require those karts to grid without fuel in the tank for the feature race. Fuel will be provided at the required level.

POINTS ELIGIBILITY

NOTE: I will be adding these to the 2009 Rulebook shortly.

Is the engine protest procedure in place of sealing WF engines as discussed two meetings back, or are we still sealing engines?

I was told that it is in place of sealing the engines by Jim Pelletterie.

it was decided by the membership to forgo teching and sealing engines because of the work involved. all engine should be run stock as they came out of the red box. if you have a blueprinted to WKA spec engine, it IS NOT LEGAL to race with the BKC. We have tech numbers for stock engines and will be using them if the need arises. The protest is a way to keep things in check and to give all racers a avenue to persue if they think there are improprities.

For your information. Because of Bridgestone's decision not to produce the YHC tire the YKC or the YHC will be the only tire legal for racing. We are working on testing a new tire for next season.

If we're going to all the trouble to switch tires, we should look into a compound that lasts maybe 1-2 more weekends. Cutting tire use is the easiest and least painful way to reduce operating costs.

Mike Burris has been kind enough to ship us some tires for testing. They are about the same as the YHC and one set is a bit harder.

What mode tires are those, Mike?

Thanks!

Err, model, I mean, the 'l' is sticking on the keyboard...
