Sprint Racing Rules
Sprint Racing Rules
Safety:
Please leave the “inside lane” of the pits open to
allow karts to pass through.
Drivers / pit crew only in the pit lane area.
No loitering in the pit lane.
When not traveling at racing speed, raise your hand so other
drivers know you are leaving or entering pits, or otherwise slowing down.
If your kart stalls while on track, and you cannot quickly restart, remove it from the racing surface as soon as possible. Do not intentionally stop on the racing surface.
If you leave the racing surface, wait for a track worker to give you the go ahead before re-entering the track.
If you get the blue flag, point the lapping driver by.
Push starting of karts allowed only in pit area, not on racing surface.
Fuel:
All fuel must be added before qualifying, adding fuel after qualifying will lead to a grid demotion.
Timing:
Most karts are running MyChrons for timing, IR pickup facing toward the right.
Race day sessions:
5 min. timed qualifying session.
10 lap heat race.
25 lap main race.
Heat race starting order:
Based on qualifying times as recorded by MyChrons or other timing system. Anyone without a working lap timer will start from the back.
Main race starting order:
Same as finishing order of heat race.
After race tech:
All karts will be weighed after the main race.
No points will be awarded if you fail to make min. weight,
or for other rule infractions.
Points:
Separate points will be awarded for TaG senior, TaG masters
and 125 Shifter classes. Your 2 worst weekend results will be dropped from the points total.
