Event requirements
- No Driving in the Pits, you may only drive out from the hot-grid.
- Do not start karts on the stand as rotating tires are a hazard to kids that are walking around the pits (yourself and/or spectators). Karts may be started in the controlled hot-grid, all karts must have a driver in the seat to prevent run-away karts (no exceptions).
- All track and NKA safety gear requirements must be followed at all times. No shorts, flip-flops, etc!
- No bikes, scooters, skates, rollerblades in the pits - period!
IMPORTANT FOR PRACTICE (due to complaints in 2022 we need members to help others follow the following practice format)
- For practice please use the following time schedule when the track is busy, if you have the track to yourself please practice at will.
- Kid Karts should always be given the track to themselves, ideally at the top of each hour. Due to massive speed differences kid karts should never be on the track with other kart classes, serious incidents may occur so please help our youngest group get the time and space they need.
- Cadet Karts can practice after kid karts, ideally 10 minutes past each hour.
- Jr Karts ideally 25 minutes past the hour.
- Sr Karts ideally start around 35 minutes past the hour, non-rookie Jr karts may also use this time slot.
