Victoria Karting - Supplementary Rules

Philosophy: Our primary goal is to develop driving talent in a safe and cost effective manor. Therefore, Victoria Karting will implement and experiment with special rules to help achieve these ends. Such rules include the mandated use of UK-style full rear bumpers, class structure with an emphasis on low maintenance sealed engines, and tire management regulations. Although we understand that not everyone will agree with all of our supplementary regulations, we are making these decisions with the goal of developing driving talent in the safest and most cost effective way.

 

(posted June 5/09)
Master Class is starting Monday, June 8th as follows;
- minimum weight requirement is 380 lbs.
- these are preliminary rules and are subject to change as the class develops.

Who can race; 
- 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
- stock frame
- headers are permitted
- same tire rules as other classes will apply
- due to this additional class and daylight constraints, we reserve the right to eliminate the warmup session.

Also a couple of rule items: (posted July 7, 2009)

- 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.

Class Structure

"No Outlaw 4 stroke class allowed"

General

- center Fuel tanks are highly recommended and will be required following the 2008/2009 winter series.

- penalty for cheating in Honda class - Driver and team face a 6 month suspension if caught with the following: any aftermarket part not expressly allowed in ASN rules such as aftermarket pistons, connecting rods, camshaft, crankshaft or a reground camshaft. All other infractions will face disqualification and loss of points. Multiple infractions could lead to further suspensions. 

Weights

- we suggest buying lead from our local diving shops. Be sure to fasten them to the seat or chassis with minimum of 2 - 1/4" bolts. "Tech" and "RBR Karting" can help with locating weights.

 

Fuel

- all fuel must be purchased at the Chevron in Langford on the day of racing. Regular for 4 Stroke Classes; 94 for 2 Stroke Classes, Fuel may be tested at any time.

 

Tires

- No Rain Tires Allowed; slick tires only will be allowed rain or shine. This rule will help to reduce costs (rain tires last for only a few races). Although drivers will have to exercise caution when driving in the wet, they will adapt and benefit greatly from learning car control in slippery conditions. 

- absolutely no tire softener allowed. Tire hardness will be checked randomly. In the interest of fairness and cost reduction, only branded tires will be allowed for competition with limited sets available for the season.

ALL drivers MUST wear:

-approved helmets
-long pants
-proper shoes, no loose laces
-long sleeved shirts, jackets or racing suits (preferred)
-gloves
-neck collars (optional)
-NO loose clothing, sweatshirts, belts, laces, or long hair
