SPIRIT AND INTENT

Kart/Mini Cup competition is a sport and its purpose is to provide fun and

enjoyment for the entire family. The rules and regulations are written in a simple

manner so the participant can understand and compete legally. For those who

wish to compete with basically stock equipment, in accordance with 1999 WKA,

1999 MMRA, and 1999 MASCAR rules, stock classes are established.

to compete illegally, or defraud officials by such modifications or actions, is

subject to suspension and loss of points and/awards for that event upon review

of all evidence by P.K.M.I. officials.

AGE DETERMINATION - Per WKA, MMRA and MASCAR/RIGID Rule Books

with the exception of Junior Sportsman 1 is 7 to 10, not 8 to 10.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT/PROTECTIVE CLOTHING- Per WKA, MMRA and

MASCAR/RIGID Rule Books. Any hair shoulder length and longer must be

held securely in helmet at all times. P.K.M.I. and Old Dominion Speedway will

not be responsible if your hair comes out of your helmet during any portion of

racing.

VEHICLE NUMBERS

Because most drivers have a favorite number, O.D.S./P.K.M.I. does not want

to force you to be assigned a number, therefore, you may use whatever number

you have, but when there are two numbers in the same class we will have to use

a letter (X) behind the number you have.

CHAMP KARTS: must have a number tag on the left side of the roll cage. Champ karts

racing on the 3/8 mile oval must also have rear view mirror or mirrors. Champ Karts must

have a 2 inch washer or metal band (like what the MACKA group uses) at the seat struts.

In 1999 you do not have to put roll bar pads on the roll cage of the Champ Kart.

If your Champ Kart’s rear bumper is not wide enough for safe push drafting on the

3/8 mile oval. PKMI will require you to weld additional metal tubing to make your rear

bumper safer for push drafting. (Some Brands of Champ Karts have a sharp pointed

rear bumper making it more difficult for the pushing kart to stay steady.) The problems

ones that we have seen are in the shape of a V on the bottom and top in stead of a U or

square shape. Kart manufactures that PKMI knows are not a problem are: Bandit, Predator

Shadow and Track/Star. This list will grow as we inspect each kart manufacture.

Mini Cups & Champs Karts All classes: The nights you have the privilege to run with the Saturday Night Stock

Car programs. These races are bonus points races. All drivers

drawing.

RACE RULES

Flags per WKA, MMRA, and MASCAR Rule books except yellow: When caution

flag is displayed, the whole track is immediately under caution. The race will

revert back to the last completed lap for single file restarting with the karts.

No one will race back to the finish line, you will slow down to a safe speed

and you will stay in your position at the time of the caution to allow the Flagman

to restart the Race.

The Champ Karts and the Mini Cups will follow the pace car (only on special events)

during a caution and on the start of the of the race. All types (Champs & Mini Cups)

when the yellow flag comes out, the whole track will go immediately under caution

on the 3/8 mile oval track.

A competitor must always be prepared for another competitor to pass and must

therefore be on the lookout for the approach from behind of other, faster karts.

The deliberate blocking of a faster kart is cause for that kart to go to the rear of

the pack or disqualification.

Any foul driving, unnecessary bumping, crowding, chopping, blocking or

to go to the rear of the pack or disqualification.

When two vehicles are entering a turn together, the vehicle that is

behind, whether it be an inch or several feet, is required to negotiate the

turn without endangering or impairing the progress of the vehicle in front.

Conversely, the vehicle in front should not take a deliberate course for

the reason of crowding a following competitor off the course.

If any component of the racing vehicle becomes deranged so that in the

opinion of the flagman it is unsafe or illegal, the vehicle will be removed

from the course by being black/orange flagged. If in the opinion of race

officials the defect cannot be repaired properly, the entry will be

retired from the race.

When the checkered flag is shown ending the race, all vehicles will

proceed to the scales for weight check. DRIVERS CANNOT HAVE

FOOD, DRINK OR ANYTHING ON PERSON THAT WAS NOT

THERE DURING THE RACE, UNTIL WEIGHT CHECK IS COMPLETED.

INSPECTION PROCEDURES

In addition to pre-race inspection, all vehicles are subject to a

technical inspection after each race at the discretion of the race officials.

Any person not willing to prepare his vehicle or engine for inspection

will be disqualified from the event and subject to suspension from the club.
