General Points to note . . .

VK Tire Rule-

Increase in weight rule; (posted April 2, 2010)

As of the June 7th, 2010 race night-All 4 stroke and 2 stroke "SR" Classes will have an additional 20LB's of weight added. Senior 4 strokes to be 370 lbs. Senior Rotax to be 390 lbs.
This is to help the heavier drivers be more completive and this rule will be in effect at all times.
From the June 7th date, if any driver is found to be light on weight they will be DQ'd for that night and will be suspended for the next event- No Exceptions.

- if we find any alterations to the inside of a motor during a teardown, we reserve the right to assess an automatic 6 month suspension!

- transponders MUST be mounted using approved clips and MUST be mounted on the back of the seat or on the frame bars behind, or beside the seat.

- if tires are found to be soft, Victoria Karting reserves the right to examine the tires further. 1st offence: failure to surrender tires for further testing will result in a 1 month suspension.

- this class is centered around a less-aggressive racing style. Anyone can participate who meets the requirements but anyone driving aggressively will be moved back to the regular class and out of the Master Class.
- Honday 6.5 hp, 4 stroke

- same tire rules as other classes will apply

Promotion Items:

Note; no merchandise can be purchased until AFTER the driver-pit meeting. Please be considerate of the gals who are registering people and handing out transponders and wait until after the pit meeting before purchasing or asking questions about merchandise. Thank you.

 

Get the Parental Consent waiver form on our "Forms and Releases" page.

This form is applicable for children only. Remember, when you have this form notarized for your children, you must still sign in when you arrive at the track and wear a wrist band. This form removes the necessity of signing the insurance waiver for children each week.

-We are thinking of starting a "Masters 4 stroke Honda Class" for ages 45+, and for anyone who wants good competition in a less aggressive environment.(anyone interested please contact Steve)

-We have purchased a "Cadet 4 stroke Kart" for rentals so now smaller children can come out and experience the racing 1st hand.(reservations are a must!)

-Due to insurance reasons there will be no additional times allowed on the track (for practice or anything else) other than scheduled events.

- All Karts must have full front body work installed on the kart or you will not be able to run.

- Also a full width rear bumper will be mandatory on all karts when we return to the track in January. Please get organized on getting one on your kart sooner rather than later. This is a safety issue!

Please note:  due to insurance requirements, waivers MUST be signed by everyone in the pit area at Western Speedway. This includes drivers, mechanics, flag-persons AND spectators. In other words....everyone. You can help us by being proactive and signing the waiver at the concession booth in the infield without being asked.
Thank you for your cooperation.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Please note that if you are looking at buying a kart please be aware that we are building classes for 4 stroke Honda and 2 stroke Rotax. If you find a kart that interests you, you should call us to see if the engine will work in our series. You wouldn’t want to find a good deal on a kart and find that the engine package will not fit into one of our classes.

Our goal is to build as many karts in each class rather than have lots of classes with lower numbers. This makes better karting and increases good racing. If you have any questions please contact either John 250-478-6054 or Steve 250-920-9004.
