2006 GENERAL COMPETITION REGULATIONS

1. INTRODUCTION TO OUR CLUB

The Windsor Kart Club (WKC) was established in 2003 and has a Rules & Disciplinary Committee that oversees the day-to-day operation of all club activity. The WKC enforces a safety first -racing second attitude that is set out in this detailed Rules and Regulations package.

The WKC is comprised of over 200 serious amateurs and seasoned veterans ranging in age from 7 to 65 years of age and the WKC welcomes new members interested in stepping up to the challenge of the faster pace, tougher competition and good sportsmanship of the WKC.

The WKC Rookie Championship (WKCRC) is one of the fastest growing kart clubs in Windsor and its surrounding areas, with a membership of over 200 active members. The WKC membership is comprised of interested amateurs ranging in age from 9 to 65. WKC welcomes new members year round, promoting its Introductory Rookie Classes where everything is provided from the helmet to the high performance racing kart. The Rookie Class is a great way for racing enthusiasts to get involved in a racing series with little to no experience and where everything is provided in a safe and organized environment.

The WKC will make every effort to provide a friendly professional atmosphere and is dedicated to keeping the cost at an affordable level by enforcing the rules and regulations as written.

2. SPIRIT AND INTENT

No pretence is made of having designed a foolproof set of rules and regulations. Karting is a sport designed for the fun and enjoyment of the whole family. There have been attempts to test the rules by deviating from this purpose, for which the basic sport is intended. The spirit and intent of the rules is going to be the standard by which karting will be guided.

WKC must approve any equipment change or design that is an attempt to beat the rules. The Rules & Disciplinary Committee must disqualify an entry in violation of the spirit and intent of these rules and may use the tools they deem necessary to accomplish the tech procedures. All replacement parts are subject to the rules as stated herein; any tech item in whole or part not identified or without dimensions does not exclude it from tech. All components are subject to complete technical inspections.

The technical specifications and competition rules may be altered at anytime to suit the consensus of WKC, the WKC Rules & Disciplinary Committee and/or to reflect a manufacturer deviation.

Any kart that has entered the pit after the green flag has been displayed will be DQ and will not be allowed back into the race.

Drivers must abide by the directions of the officials in charge.

12.31 SLOWING ON COURSE: When a kart slows from racing speed on course, the driver must signal such to approaching competitors by raising a hand high enough to be clearly visible from behind.

15 OFFICIAL FLAGS

15.1 GREEN: (Start Race or Track Clear) Used to start the race, or practice sessions, and to be kept visible as long as the track is clear and safe to drive.

15.2 YELLOW: (Slow Pace and Hold Position, Full Course Yellow or Corner Yellow) Slow down, use caution, and hold your position and no passing in or at the corner in question. The Main Flagman will identify a full course yellow -if the MAIN Flagman shows the yellow it is a full course yellow. The moment you see a yellow, stop racing. Do not slam on the brakes, but continue around the course at medium speed and stay in your position (no passing) until the Main Flagman indicates otherwise. Yellow laps count as completed laps. Any driver scrubbing tires while under full yellow will be placed at the back.

15.3 YELLOW and GREEN-Rolled and crossed: (Halfway Point of Race) means that the race is half over.

15.4 RED: (Stop) Stop as fast and safely as possible, as a serious problem or accident has occurred and the race or activity must be stopped. Come to a quick, safe and controlled stop, wherever you are on the track, and watch the flagman and or officials and follow their signals.

15.5 BLACK: (Driver Disqualification) The Black Flag means that you have been disqualified for a driving problem and must exit the track. Do not question this flag. Usually there have been several radio conversations, between club officials, regarding your driving. After the race is over, a Club Official, not the flagman, will explain why you received the black flag. Club rules will apply for any penalties to be assessed for the offense.

15.6 BLACK-ROLLED: (Driver Warning) If you see a rolled black flag pointing at you; this is a warning that your driving technique is bordering on disqualification and that you're driving is being questioned by club officials. If you continue to drive wildly/erratically, it will likely escalate to a full black.

15.7 MEATBALL: (Driver Disqualification) The Meatball Flag means that you have been disqualified for a mechanical reason. Usually there have been several radio conversations, between clubs officials, regarding the mechanical condition of your kart. After the race is over, a Club Official, not the flagman, will explain why you received the meatball flag.

15.8 BLUE: (Move Over) this is a signal that you are about to be lapped or passed by a faster kart, or karts. It is your responsibility to make room for the karts that are passing or lapping you. Clear a lane and signal/point to which side the lapping karts must pass.

15.9 WHITE and GREEN -Rolled and Vertical: 2 laps remaining.

15.10 WHITE: (Last Lap) means you are on the last lap. One lap to go until end of race.
