A WKA 2006 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.

103.2.2 If a driver will reach the age to be eligible for the next age group, either 8-12 or 12-15, within the regularly scheduled CKRA season; they may move up at the beginning of the season with administration approval. Drivers may not move up early to the senior classes.

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. The message forum on the CKRA website, (www.ckra.org/forum/), falls under this rule also.

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. Sections 106.2.1 and 106.2.2 still apply and provide definitions for unsportsmanlike driving and unsafe driving respectively.

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. The blue flag is not just information; it is an order to give way.

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 Point of no return. Once any part of a kart passes the designated line on the entrance to the track it may not be restarted unless it can be restarted by onboard means and the driver is in any senior class or 50cc Kid Karts. 50cc Kid Karts will be started by an adult while the driver stays in the kart. Qualified seniors will start themselves provided they can do so safely and in a timely manner. Onboard means include pull starters permanently mounted to the engine or electric starters as used on TAG karts. Separate, stand alone hand held electric starters may only be used inside the grid area.

106.10 In addition to what is presented at the drivers' meeting, the following shall apply:

If a kart drops out during warmup lap(s) or pace lap, both rows will move forward until the gaps are filled. If a kart does not line up on the false grid, then positions will be criss-crossed if time allows; otherwise the rows will move straight ahead until the gaps are filled.

The number of warmup laps will be announced at the drivers' meeting and can be as few as zero (0).

106.15 In addition to section 106.15 in its entirety, if all karts are brought back in for a complete restart, (no laps completed), then any stalled kart(s) are also brought back in and will start in their original position.

106.18 Drivers may drop one (1) and only one black flag disqualification (DQ) for on track behavior. Any future infractions must be counted against season end points. All else applies for this rule.

106.20 Due to the size of our track, there will be 60 seconds to exit the grid from the command to fire engines. We do not have a hot pit. Rule 106.7 as defined above shall apply to stalled karts. Refusal to move a stalled kart from the racing surface to a safe location is grounds for disqualification for the day.

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.

202.1 Tire brands and compounds opened.

202.2 6" diameter rims are also allowed.

203.4 Rear axle up to 50mm 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 use "break away" mounting and entrant will not necessarily get DQ if it falls off. However, entrant will get black flag if earned through misuse of nose.

208.5.1 The side pod dimensions as described will apply though the method for measuring the maximum protrusion of the rear tire outside the the sidepod will be measured differently. A straight edge will be placed across the outermost surfaces of each rear tire and a 1.510" high block may NOT fit between the straight edge and the sidepod on either side. Failure to meet this rule is a technical DQ.

208.8 Numbers should be 6" high, black on white background. Any scoring descrepancies due to numbers of improper color are without grounds and shall automatically be dismissed.

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.

209.4 Double high nerf bars with cik style pods are allowed and subject to 208.1 requirements for appearance and mounting.

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 DQ and receives zero points.

258.5.1 In addition to 258.5.1 in its entirety, the protrusion of rear tires outboard the sidepods will also be limited. A straight edge will be placed across the outermost surfaces of each rear tire and a 1.510" high block may NOT fit between the straight edge and the sidepod on either side. Failure to meet this rule is a technical DQ.

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

259.3.4 Bumper mounted oil catch cans are allowed as long as reasonably shielded by the bumper and reasonably attached per discretion of pre-tech inspector. A leaky or loose catch can will earn you a black flag, even if you passed pre-tech.

262.1 through 262.7 (see 212.1 through 212.8)
