  • Qualifying: 2 laps and you will be disqualified if you stop on track other than a safety reason or mechanical problem.
  • The start will be a single file rolling start. Each driver may accelerate at the wave of the green flag. You cannot pass the kart in front of you until you cross start/finish line. You cannot step out of line before start/finish. Jump starts will result in a black flag stop and go penalty.

If you move a kart out of the way and gain that position, you can either give the position back and receive no penalty (you have 2 laps to do this) or we will score you last.  
  • No blocking. You may make one move in advance of the kart(s) behind you. You cannot move back across the track after you’ve made your move. You cannot run someone off the track that is beside you on a straightaway.
