A WKA 2004 Technical Manual may be purchased from the World Karting Association website.

Note: many of these regulations are wording specific for "WKA events" and in such cases, where applicable, these regulations are to be interpreted for "CKRA events" also. Section 101.5 refers to "spirit and intent" of the rules, and to carry this a step further, CKRA will use the spirit and intent of our club's mission statement in interpreting and enforcing any and all rules. Furthermore, we reserve the right to deny entry to any club event, any individual, for any or no reason in order to pursue that contained in our mission statement. Our club racing is in alignment with manufacturer's cup (2 cycle) and gold cup (4 cycle) sprint racing, and therefore excludes all regulations relative to road racing, speedway and champ kart.

104.4 Driver of record must be the competitor. No relief drivers.

105.1 All drivers shall conduct themselves in an orderly manner. Physical violence or abuse of any individual will subject the offender to immediate ejection from the site and possible suspension of membership status.

105.2 Verbal abuse or threats directed at any individual at any CKRA event will subject the offender to immediate ejection from the event and possible suspension of membership status. In our continuing effort to maintain a family friendly atmosphere, no foul or obscene language will be tolerated. Foul or obscene language will result in immediate ejection from the event and possible suspension of membership status.

105.4 Drivers are responsible for the control and actions of their pit crew members and accompanying guests. Unacceptable actions of crew members may subject the driver to penalty or disqualification or suspension of membership status.

105.6 All drivers are required to attend all drivers meetings. Juvenile drivers must be accompanied by their "crew chief".

106.2 The spirit and intent of sportsmanlike racing competition is to proceed on the track without touching or endangering the vehicles of fellow participants. If in the judgment of the presiding officials, a participant is bumping, crowding, chopping, blocking or pushing other participants in other than an inadvertent manner, that participant shall be subject to immediate disqualification and possible suspension of membership status. In practice or in race, any unsportsmanlike conduct after checkered flag may result in disqualification and/or suspension at the discretion of the race director. We emphasize "inadvertent"! Race officials will have the authority to make such decisions without question.

CKRA Passing Rule - A overtaking driver who is half-way up on another kart is entitled to fair racing room so that both karts can complete a turn side by side on the racing surface without contact. Halfway up is defined as the overtaking kart's front tire being ahead of the rear tire of the kart being passed. Any driver not sharing the racing surface according to this rule shall be subject to disqualification and will be black flagged. More than one driver may be black flagged for the same incident. Any driver making a late "diving move" causing another kart to go four wheels off of the racing surface will be subject to a black flag and disqualification. REMEMBER - Safety is always the foremost factor.

106.3 Participants about to be lapped by faster competitors are responsible for being aware of the approaching faster karts and must yield the race line until the faster karts have passed. Lapped karts will observe the passing (blue) flag or may be subject to disqualification.

106.5 Adults only should assist in removal of kart. Juveniles should remain in the kart until instructed otherwise by the corner workers. You are somewhat protected by bumpers and nerf bars while in the kart even if it's in a precarious location. We don't want you getting out of your kart and stepping out in front of another kart. Remember to get those hands up to signal the other drivers!!!!!!!!!!!!

106.7 Even if not mentioned at the drivers meeting, the head flagman may allow and call for pit crew to re-start an "on-track", stalled kart if necessary for a re-start according to 106.15.4 . Pit crew cannot enter track unless directed so by the head flagman. Corner workers may be instructed to intervene and re-start a kart in lieu of pit crew.

106.20 We do not have a hot pit. Stalled drivers must appeal to the head flagman via hand signals for pit crew assist or corner worker re-start assist.

107.8 Skateboards, bicycles, scooters, rollerblades, etc. Are not permitted anywhere there is pedestrian traffic.

108.2 When head flagman displays a single yellow flag, it is a local yellow. Double yellow flags displayed by head flagman indicate a full course yellow.

202.2 6" diameter rims are also allowed.

208 Bodywork according to gold cup (4 cycle) section 258 is permitted to run in 2 cycle classes. Lower cross bar per figure 209.3.5 is required to run in 2 cycle classes. Ballast per 201.10 at front bumper is superceded by 251.10 .

208.2 CIK style noses are not required to be "break away" fastened and entrant will not necessarily get DQ if it falls off. However, entrant will get black flag if earned through misuse of nose.

208.8 Numbers should be 6" high, black on white background.

209.3.5 Back edge of lower bumper cross bar must be less than 4" from vertical plane at back edge of rear bumper. "torsion tubes" are acceptable as a lower bumper cross bar.

212.1 Wet weather conditions is not an issue because we will not run in the rain.

212.5 Event format is blind draw for starting position of first heat. Invert that order for second heat. Points earned in heats only determine starting position for feature race and do not count towards year end awards. (tiebreaker for heat points is previous blind draw) points earned in feature count toward year end awards.

212.7 Technical dq causes points to be zero.

212.7.1 Points are only awarded for finishing order in the feature. Black flag during feature is a technical dq.

CLAIMING RULE

Any competitor racing in the Animal class may have their motor claimed by another competitor in the class.

The person claiming another's motor must give written notice to the race director prior to the start of the feature race. Motor will be turned over following the feature. The amount is A.P.S. current price plus $25.00. In addition they will pay 5.5% sales tax. The engine will be complete minus clutch, mount, air cleaner, throttle cable, chain guards, carb jets and throttle needle, fuel pump, oil fill cap with pulse fitting and exhaust.

Any competitor refusing to let another competitor claim their motor will forfeit all season points and be suspended from competition in any CKRA events for the remainder of the season.

502.7 Calipers may be used in lieu of no-go gauges until such time as the club is wealthy enough to put out the big bucks to buy the no-go's.

554.3 No copper exhaust gaskets when using ssx-v supercan. (note: ssx-v is the only legal supercan ........ 4 holes, all 90 degrees apart)

601.1 Air filter adapter may be anodized.

602.1 Use of yamaha parts in the Comer-Arc engine is allowable.

Section 800 point system is entirely excluded. Points earned in heat races are only used to determine starting position for the feature race and do not count toward year-end awards. Points awarded for feature race will count toward year-end awards and will be according to finishing position. If you take the green flag, you will have a finishing position even if you dnf. A black flag is a technical dq which makes your points zero. Only one technical dq may be dropped from points total per season. An engine tech dq for blatant cheating results in zero points for that event and must be counted towards season points totals. Example, but not limited to: porting, illegal piston, cam or head. Race directors decision is final and not subject to appeal. The low pill number from the blind draw is pole for the first heat. Heat points are one for first, two for second, etc. And lowest total heat points gets pole for feature. (pill numbers from previous blind draw will be tie breakers relative to total heat points)

Twelve karts is the maximum that CKRA will run in any heat or feature. If entries exceed twelve then two groups will be run (A & B). Drivers will be separated by season points standings. Drivers in even position standings will be in group "A" and odd positions standings will be in group "B". The top three drivers from each class according to heat points standings will transfer to the "A" main. All other drivers will compete in the "B" main with the top three finishers from the "B" main transferring to the "A" main. Season points will be awarded with the "A" main finishes first then "B" main finishes.

Points will be awarded as follows. (noe = number of entries, that class, that day)
