We are a traveling group that run our own rules package and point system at multiple tracks in the western and central NY & Pennsylvania state areas.

The BKC will always do what we can to accommodate racers and there equipment in our class structures. You can see provisions have been made to run the Animal Senior with World Formula Lites/Masters and the Yamaha 4 Hole cans with the World Formula Lites/Masters. Contact us to help us fit you in.

Junior classes run a box stock animal motor package with no alterations allowed. Senior classes run a Briggs World Formula motor, Unmodified as shipped from Briggs and Stratton. All BKC classes run a spec. tire (Burris 55 series) on all karts.

Our goal is to have our competitors learn how to drive and set up there chassis to get the most performance they can out of them. Not learn how to write a bigger check than the next guy!

That said here are the basic classes as proposed for the 2012 rules package.

Its killing me not being able to race with you but I hope we can make this a stellar event. ALL BKC RULES ARE IN EFFECT EXCEPT FOR CLASS WEIGHTS. your first playing card is collected at sign in. you get one for a practice session. One each for the two heats and the last card at the end of the main event. To receive a card YOU MUST FINISH. If you fail to finish you will not receive a card thus taking you out of the game. FINISHING FIRST IS NOT IMPORTANT! except for JR1 all the classes will run together with the fastest drivers in the back, example, Jr's up front, masters right behind and lites behind them Will Salisbery should be the last kart. Of course this will need to be approved by the track so things might change. Your passing will need to be perfect and well timed, you must finish. We will pay back six positions with a master membership to the high hand and gift cards for the remaining positions. have fun, drive smart and play your cards close to the vest.

Wow, what a track. It was the first time I went over two hundred. Ok, it only felt that way, the guys infront of me went two-o-one. The trip almost came to an abrupt end when we blew a trailer tire near Dunkirk. after installing a spare we crawled to a walmart where two new tires were mounted. The rest of the drive down was senic and unenventful. I didn't need anymore excitement for the day.
We arrived at the track on Sunday morning and was impressed with the facility and grounds. The track is big, real big. After sign in we were set to practice and went out for five minutes. First time out I was trying to get a feel for the track and find out which way to go. I almost made a wrong turn but got it after the first session. The front stretch is not straight but it is flat out and a blast until the sweeping right hander. This is the best designed track I have ever been on with a mix of challanging corners and speed.
The program started with a three lap qualifying session and then a six lap race and a twelve lap race in the heat of the day. Even if you ran last the challange of the drive was fun.
Superman Mike polizzi not only set up the event for us he ran his shifter and the WF. I don't know how he drove home. We ran all our classes together but next time they will be run seperatly. All said it was a great race day and well worth the trip. The folks at the track were very impressed with our club, the racing and the world formula engines. We have been invited back anytime.
The story does not end there. We left the track hot, tired and eager to get home. Traveling down I80 I seen a familiar trailer on the side of the road so like any good club member I stopped with Hank behind me to find our newest member Jason Sugg with a blown trailer tire and no jack. We got the tire changed and back on the road again.
If it wasn't for the trailer problems it would have beeen a perfect race weekend
