Rules & Regulations

90 Second Rule

• If you are on the grid, you will get 90 seconds to get onto the track and you will be allowed your position.

• If you are not on the grid and your or someone from your team does not inform us that you are on your way prior to the class going out onto the track, you will still get 90 seconds to get out onto the track, but you will start in the rear.

Starting the Race

• Pole Sitter can take off out of turn 4, but there should only be side by side passing until the cone by the flag stand.  If you are on the inside, stay on the inside and vice versa, if you are on the outside, stay on the outside.

• Pole Sitter sets the pace for the start of the race.  It is the responsibility for the outside pole sitter to keep up with the pole sitter.  We will give you one try, but after that we will go green.

• Once the pole sitter passes the cone at turn 4 the flagger will throw the green flag, even if the pole sitter doesn’t fire. 

• It is the under the race directors discretion to put you to the rear if you are the reason the green flag is not throw.  For example, the pole sitter is taking off prior to turn 4 or if the outside pole sitter is taking off prior to the pole sitter firing or prior to the green flag being thrown or if the racer in 3^rd is pushing the leader.  This rule applies to any position.

• If we can’t get the race started after 2 official tries, we will go single file.

• After 2 yellows have been thrown, we will not throw another yellow on the first lap if you spin on your own.

• If at anytime, a racer is put to the rear or doesn’t make it out onto the race track, that particular line moves forward, there will be no criss crossing.  For example, if the pole sitter goes to the rear the 3^rd place position now becomes 1^st.

Restarts

·        If there is not one lap complete we will go back to the original restart the yellow and red flag will come out.  It is your responsibility to know the line up.

·        If there is one lap complete, we will go back to the last completed lap and it will be a single file start.

·        If you don’t know what position you are supposed to be in, move to the outside of the line and we’ll put you in the correct position.

·        By the race directors discretion, if there is any kart that does not slow down to a decent speed during a yellow flag situation, you may be put to the rear.

·        The leader can fire in between turns 3 & 4.

·        Once the flagger throws the green flag, you may pass.  If you pass anyone prior to the flagger throwing the green flag, you will be penalized two spots for every position you gain.

Yellow Flag Situation

• The yellow flag will not be thrown if you spin on your own and you are not in harms way.  The corner marshals will throw their flag to let other racer know that someone in spun in that particular corner. 

• Full course yellow is only in effect when the head flagger throws his yellow or if you see the yellow light on.

• If you stall on the race track at anytime, raise both hands so that we know you are not running.

• If you raise both hands and you are not stalled, you will be black flagged and you will receive no points for that particular race.

• If you are involved in an accident, you will start in the rear.

• If you hit someone and they spin, but you don’t, the yellow will come out and both people will go to the rear.

• If at anytime you hit a cone and the yellow has to come out, you will go to the rear.  If someone collects the cone or spins because of the cone, they will get their position back, but the person who hit the cone will go to the rear.

Two Spin Rule

·        If you spin on your own two times, you will receive a mechanical black flag.

·        Be sure to weigh in, otherwise you will receive no points

Move Over Flag (Blue w/Yellow Strip)

• Move to the outside of the race track to let the racers behind you go to the inside of you.

• If you get the move over flag 2 times and your do not move over, you will be black flagged and will receive no points.

• If a kart that is on the lead lap gets spun out by a lapped kart, the yellow will come out and that racer will get their position back.

Black Flag – depending on the severity

• You will get one warning (rolled black) then you will be black flagged and you will receive no points for that particular race.

• IF the flagger holds the black flag up to the entire class – this is your one warning!

Unsportsmanlike Conduct

• ABSOLUTELY NO FIGHTING – decisions will be made by the race directors depending on the severity.

• If you decide to take matters into your own hands, there will be consequences which will be decided at that particular time, by the race directors.

Last Lap Rule

• If you push someone out of the way to gain a position, you will lose that position.

• If that person spins, there will be a checkered yellow finish and we will go back to the last completed lap.  Depending on the situation, a decision will be made by the race directors to choose to put a person to the rear or give them their position back.

Points

• If your kart does not touch the track, you will receive no points for that race.

• If your kart makes it out onto the track, but you break prior to the green flag, be sure to weigh in and you will receive last place points.

• If you receive a mechanical black flag, be sure to weigh in, otherwise you will get no points for that particular race.

• If at any time, you do not weigh in, you will receive no points, if in doubt weigh in.

Miscellaneous

• If you break and it is possible, move to the inside of the race track; DO NOT try to coast off the track.

• If you break or stall after the first lap is complete you can not restart or fix your kart.

• If you stall prior to the first lap complete, you will be allowed to restart.

• Once the kart hits the track, there will be no mechanical repairs.  For example, if you chain falls off, you will not be allowed to put it back on.  If your nose cone is loose or stuck under your tire, you will be allowed to pull it out in order to continue racing, but you will not be allowed to use any tools to do so.

• If you weight falls off during a race, you will not be allowed to use this weight when you get on the scales.

• If your transponder falls off during a race or you forget to put it on, you will not be scored.
