RACE TRACK STATS
STARTS
Racing starts or restarts at the drop of the green flag. The grid will be reset until all karts taking the green flag complete one incident free lap. After two attempts the field will be started single file.
TECHS
Any karts eligible for points, racing at any MCFKC event, finishing in the top five (5) may be subject to a complete onsite engine teardown and tech inspection after the last race in its class has been completed. The owner may do the work, not the inspector, if he/she desires. If an owner refuses tech or an engine is found to be illegal, all points for that days racing will be forfeited. Restriction plates are subject to inspection at any time. All karts may be subject to an immediate tech inspection if deemed necessary by the MCFKC Board.
MUFFLERS
All 4-cycle karts must be equipped with WKA approved mufflers. All 2-cycle karts must be equipped with an air silencer.
FUEL
Flat Heads use methanol, 2 cycles use gas and oil only and the 206 uses GAS.
PRACTICE
All practice sessions will be grouped according to class and speed and allowed 10 minutes rotating practice sessions.
BREAKDOWNS
Drivers are expected to pull safely off the track and remain with their karts until the race is over and all karts have cleared the track. A driver will be disqualified if he/she or a crew member crosses the track or drives through the "short-cut" under green flag conditions.
PENALTIES
SIGNALING
Drivers are expected to give a warning to following drivers, by raising
of an arm, anytime speed must be abnormally checked. Drivers should
signal to the flagman as well as other workers if he/she feels another
driver is driving improperly, by pointing in that driver's direction.
GRID
Positions for the first race will be drawn for at the time of
registration. The second race will be inverted from the first drawing.
OUTLAP
The first lap is to run, single file, at caution lap pace. Following
laps are to be run at the speed set by the pole sitter. Maintain a
minimum of two kart lengths between karts. After the "one to go" sign is
given, drivers are expected to close up (no more than one length
between rows) but maintain a space between karts.
CLASSES
A separate class will be run if three or more like karts sign up. If needed, classes will be combined but scored separately. If combined, the fastest class will start first. Separate age groups are not allowed to be combined.
