shall be located on the infield facing north, near the start/finish line.
407 Added A time line for each event should be posted at the pit entrance gate
prior to the gates being officially opened. Any driver that is late for
pre-race technical inspection or registration shall start at the rear of both
heat races. The race director is
responsible for ensuring that this time line is adhered to. The race director’s time is the official
track time.
407 Added Junior
drivers shall attend the drivers
meeting with a responsible adult or their appointed guardian. Any driver not
present at the drivers meeting shall start at the rear of both heat races. Drivers
shall be responsible for any information distributed at the drivers meeting.
407 Added No initial starts will be allowed prior to
the cone or chalk line displayed in turn four. If a race is not successfully
started after two initial attempts then the race director has the option of
initially starting the race single file, or moving one or both of the front row
starters to the rear of the field. On single file restarts the leader may pick
up the pace anytime after the cone displayed in turn three. On all starts the
pole position sets the pace.
407Added During yellow
flags, drivers will assume the position they were in on the last completed lap
prior to the display of the yellow flag. Attempts to improve position on yellow
flags will result in the violator being placed to the rear and may result in
disqualification from the race. At the Race Directors discretion,
Drivers not complying with the Race Director or Head Flagman's placement
instructions after 2 laps should result in the violator being placed to the
rear or disqualified from the race.
407 Added If a red flag is
displayed, drivers should stop in turn 4 and shut their motors off. All
uninjured drivers will proceed to the infield immediately. Drivers who do not
proceed to the infield (other than those injured) or perform maintenance on
their karts will be disqualified from that race. No personnel other than
drivers, parent/guardian of injured junior drivers, medical personnel, or race
officials are permitted on the track until the Race Director allows them.

shall participate in any necessary pre race track packing. Refusal to
participate in track packing will result in starting in back of both heats.

manufacturer rules for any club point events.

flights for heat races.

408 Added In the event of inclimate weather, a meeting of registered
drivers or their representatives will be held at the time of the normal
driver’s meeting. At this time it will
be announced that if we can’t race by 9:00 PM, racing is automatically
postponed to Sunday morning. At 9:00 PM
a meeting will be held to announce race time on Sunday. Two completed heat races (per class)
constitute a complete race. Results will be according to accumulated points
from the heat races. This will not apply to IKF regional races.
408 Added Saturday weather cancellations will be run
the following Sunday. Gates open at 11:00 AM; drivers meeting at 12:00; racing
at 1:00 PM. This is a suggested time. The official time will be determined by the
race director. Sunday weather
cancellations will result in race cancellation.
408 Added ASK Championship Points and Awards.
408 Added Drivers must be members of ASK, and compete
in at least 6 events to be eligible for year-end championship awards in that
class.
408 Added Classes with less than 3 entries eligible
for year end awards (excluding junior classes) will receive only first place
awards. Dollar value of the awards should not exceed 50% of the cost of the
first place award for classes with more than 3 eligible entries.
408 Added Year end championship points will be
awarded as follows:
Finish 1 2
3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20
A-Main 24 20
18 17 16 15 14
13 12 11 10 9
8 7 6 5 4
3 2 1
Year-end ASK point totals will be
calculated by dropping the worst two races (2 heats and main constitute a race)
from the totals. Races where the competitor
was disqualified (DQ) for failing technical inspection, weigh in or DQ for
improper conduct (on or off the track) will count the DQ as a 0 and must be
included in the totals. Any competitor
that has a DQ for every race will drop the worst two races.
Example: heat 1=4th,
heat 2 =DQ, main=2nd,,,,,, 7+0+20=27
Mechanical Black Flag for safety
(loose body work, loose pipe, excessive spins, etc) or DNS (did not start) may
be used as a drop.
502 Added After a kart has successfully passed
pre-race technical inspection, a dated sticker with class weight should be
placed on the front of the kart where it is easily recognized.
504 Added Only the first place finishing kart is
required to proceed from the scales directly to the impound area for ASK Club
races. First and second place
finishing karts are required to proceed from the scales directly to the impound
area for IKF races. Karts that do not
proceed directly to the impound area shall be disqualified. This differs from the
IKF Regulations in that all karts are to go to impound.
504 Added Engine
technical inspection will be determined by a public random pill draw of at
least 1 pill for each; 2 cycle, 4 cycle and kid kart after the finish of the
last main event.
507 Added Scoring protests
shall be submitted in writing to the race director no later than 20 minutes
following the disputed race.
507 Added Engine/Mechanical protests must be
accompanied by a $50 fee payable to the driver being protested. This fee is to
cover the cost of the rebuild. If the component being protested is found to be
legal, the Driver will keep the $50.00. If the component is found to be illegal
then the fee will be refunded to the protester and all points for the race
event for that driver will be listed as DQ (zero points). Any refusal to comply
with above inspection will also result in a DQ for the race event. All
components being protested should be tech inspected within six hours of the
protest, or other arrangements made.
601 Added This is the
primary method of fuel tech at Harvey Caplin Memorial Speedway. All karts are
subject to fuel teck at any time. If the Digitron Gasoline Meter being used by
the Fuel Technical Inspector registers a competitor’s fuel at +1 this is
illegal, regardless of what any other Digitron Gasoline Meter reads. Courtesy
checks from the meter to be used for that event will be available prior to the
drivers meeting.
617 Added The weight
addition for restricted engine classes may be waived for local events. On IKF
race event nights, all entrants in restricted classes must agree to waiver
before deviating from IKF rule (617.21).
