Section 1 General Rules
1.1 No fighting or profanity! The person(s) involved will be asked to leave, and at the discretion of the Race Director, along with their race team members.
1.2 Everyone must “Sign-In” (Indemnity and Waiver Form) and obtain a Pit Pass during Race Times. PIT PASS MUST BE WORN ON WRIST AND VISIBLE AT ALL TIMES.
1.3 Anyone under the age of 18 must have a minors release on file. Minor releases may ONLY be filled out by the legal parent or guardian. If the parent does not plan to attend with their child, they MUST PRINT the form from our website and BOTH parents must sign it and have it NOTARIZED.
1.4 No Alcohol allowed during the race program. It is allowed after ALL the races are over and this does not mean after your (or your child’s) race, but ALL the races must have been completed before any alcohol may be consumed. NO GLASS!
1.5 Anyone called for rough driving will be sent to the pits. Two offenses in the same night could result in loss of any and all points for the race. These calls will be made by the Race Director and/or Flag Man. **PRO-TIP: Parents, please remember that there is a chance that your young driver may Correction: YOUR CHILD WILL (at some point) get bumped, nudged or outright slammed into on the track – but that does not necessarily constitute “Rough Driving” – see Code of Conduct for definition of “Spirt and Intent”. This call is to be determined by the Race Officials – NOT the parents.
1.6 Any conduct by children, parents, kart owners, pit crews, fans, etc. deemed inappropriate towards any race official and/or not complying with race official’s instructions will be penalized. If the situation is severe and person and/or entire team may be barred from the race and could potentially be banned from the track for the remainder of the season. Any discussion with any official or another team member must be in a normal voice and manner.
1.7 All persons entering the premises on race day are required to read, understand and sign the required document(s). Parents or legal guardians are responsible for signing your minor child in and making them aware of the rules & procedures. PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR MINOR CHILD SIGN THE RACE REGISTRATION SIGN IN SHEET. This is a LEGAL document and a child signing it is not acceptable for legal validity.
1.8 Young children should stay within their pit area unless accompanied by an adult.
1.9 Although the rules are comprehensive, they may not address every situation. These rules may be changed or altered for the enrichment of the sport and/or to promote fairness to all. The Race Director’s decision is final. Local promoting organizations and authorized sanctioning bodies may supplement these rules or guidelines. These supplemented rules should be documented, printed (or emailed) and distributed to the racers by the promoting organization or sanctioning body. (ie: AKRA, UAS, ACSC2, UAS or IKF)
1.10 KAM Kartway reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
1.11 CRIMINAL ACTIONS: KAM is not responsible for any injuries or actions that result from criminal activity at or in the area of a KAM sanctioned event. Driver/entrant or parent/legal guardian of minor driver is/are responsible for all actions of their crew and guests.
1.11.a: Battery: participants (driver, crew, spectator, official, etc.) shall not make any physical contact in an aggressive manner towards another participant. Physical contact between participants will require the Race Director to immediately disqualify the participants involved for all classes for the remainder of the event. Participants in the physical altercation will also be banned from track property for the duration of the event, possible suspension at future events, and if so required by local laws, be subject to arrest and prosecution.
1.11.b Verbal Assault: participants who use aggressive or threatening language towards another participant/official are subject to disqualification and ejection from the event as well as suspension for future events.
1.12 Reserved Pit Spots: Track management reserves the right to alter parking for special circumstances. Sometimes this is due to unavoidable circumstances and simply can’t be avoided but it is always in the best interest of the overall race day program. Starting in 2019 there will be limited spaces available for sale due to configuration of pits compared to sizes of race haulers/motorhomes. We need to fit racers in the pits according to size and availability at time of arrival. Currently, only Track Sponsors have a guaranteed pit spot on race days. As the season starts and track officials size up parking situation, more spots may become available for purchase. We will update you via Facebook, email and website.
Section 2 General Kart Rules for ALL Drivers
2.1 SAFETY
2.1.0 Headgear: Full-faced helmets designed for competitive motorsport use are required and must comply with the Snell Memorial Foundation’s helmet standards and current rating specs as outlined. Except for the beginner classes where the drivers are in need of smaller youth size helmets, the minimum rating required at KAM is the SA2010 as long as there is no visible damage to the shell and it is not more than 5 years old. The newest rating of SA2015 is preferred because of its additional required safety standards (ie: fire resistance standards and testing in addition to roll bar impact testing.) Beginner drivers in the Young Guns and Jr 1 Classes may use the Snell CM2016 Standard – as this is a popular Youth helmet rating and meets the standards of skill and technical levels associated with beginner drivers per the SNELL Foundation.
Helmets must be secured with a strap manufactured and fitted for the helmet. No exceptions. If the strap doesn’t work or renders the helmet to “not fit” the driver’s head, then that helmet may not be used at KAM. This is not an option to go out with a helmet that is not properly strapped under the chin. A full-face shield, integral with the helmet is mandatory. The shell must also be free from visible damage and/or cracks. Once a helmet has been damaged in a major wreck or neglect to the point of the shell cracking or having breakage, the helmet is compromised and no longer suited for its intended purpose.
2.1.1 Neck Braces: Collar-type, unaltered neck braces designed for motorsports use is mandatory in all classes with a minimum SFI 3.3 Certification rating. Loss of neck brace during the race event will cause a black flag to be given to the driver for the safety issue. The exception to this rule is if the driver is utilizing a neck restraint system that attaches to the helmet such as a Hans Devise.
2.1.1.a NEW – Head & Neck Restraint: KAM Kartway now requires a Head & Neck Restraint system for all Jr and Outlaw classes. *Special Notice: Simpson is giving KAM drivers a 3 payment plan option on their device when you call to order direct from them – mention Jason Bellows from KAM Kartway to get the deal.
2.1.2 Driver Apparel: Gloves, socks, shoes and long pants (if wearing a jacket) are mandatory.
- GLOVES ARE MANDATORY! Gloves that are single layer are acceptable with a recommended rating of SFI 3.3/1. Regular Kart Gloves that are not Fire Resistant are acceptable in all classes except Outlaw. If you don’t have them, you will not be permitted to race.
- Racing shoes are recommended but not mandatory except for all the Outlaw Classes, as they must wear Flame-retardant shoes with a minimum SFI 3.3/5 Certified rating.
2.1.3 At least a Single Layer Flame-retardant Race Suit with a minimum rating of SFI-3.2A/1 is required for all classes except Young Guns, Jr 1 and Pro Clone. Drivers in those three classes may wear driving suites or jackets designed for motorsports and made of either leather, vinyl, or abrasion resistant nylon, or the equivalent. Flame-retardant or Flame-resistant material is however preferred for all race divisions.
- Race Suits and Jackets must fit the driver properly with no exposed skin at the ankles or wrists due to suit being too small. If a driver has outgrown a suite then it’s time to purchase a new one, no exceptions.
2.1.4 A Five-point harness and arm restraints are mandatory for all cage kart drivers and harness must be attached to the restraint system-lap belt and not over the steering shaft. They must be commercially manufactured for motorsports with an SFI Rating. A SFI Spec 16.2 rating is recommended.
- Arm restraints must not allow the drivers hands or arms to protrude outside the cage when fully extended.
2.1.5 If driver’s hair extends below the helmet the driver must wear a head sock or balaclava to prevent the driver’s hair from extending below the helmet.
2.1.6 Loose clothing, bandanas, scarves, hoods, loose belts, no belts, etc. is not acceptable and the driver will not be permitted on the race or even hot lap on the track.
2.1.7 All personal safety equipment is subject to, and shall be made available for, pre-tech inspection. **NOTE: Passing a Pre-tech inspection does constitute full motor/rules compliance and does not established an automatic Post-tech engine passing.
2.1.8 Each Race Team will have a working fire extinguisher in their pit that is at least 5 lbs. This is mandatory. We will be randomly checking for these throughout the year. Teams caught without a working fire extinguisher in their trailers or pit area will be subject to a $25 fine. You can purchase these at Walmart for around $30 bucks.
2.1.9 KAM IS A “COLD” PIT TRACK (once the Drivers Meeting is complete). All drivers must kill their engines in the exit shoot following a race and then push their kart back to their pit area. Do driving in the pits!
2.1.10 Front and Rear bumpers are mandatory and may not extend outside the tires.
2.1.11 All weights added to the kart must be painted white and have the kart owner’s race number on them. All weights must be double-nutted with locking nut on the outside, bolt drilled and clipped, or safety wired for security. No smaller than a 5/16 bolt should be used, and if weight comes off during the race, the kart owner may be subject to a $25 fine.
2.1.12 All OHV Motors must have the OEM Scatter Shield in place or comparable steel replacement.
2.1.13 Quick release Steering Wheels are mandatory for all cage kart classes.
2.1.14 Floorpans are required for all cage karts and be free from any voids large enough for any part of the driver’s body to inadvertently pass through. Pan must stay within main-frame rails of kart, be flat, and only have holes for components (brake discs, sprockets, seat, etc.) The Floorpan may not extend past the trailing edge of the axle.
2.1.15 Seats must be of a “high back” design and constructed of aluminum and manufactured for the purpose of motorsports application. The seat back shall reach at least to the middle of the driver’s head when the driver is seated in the kart. No portion of the seat or seat cover may protrude outside the cage. Seat shall be firmly mounted through a minimum of four mounting brackets. Pro Clone class is exempt from first two requirements; however, their seats must also be manufactured for racing application.
2.1.16 NEW – Raceceivers are mandatory for the Outlaw classes (125, 250 & Open).
2.2 Driver’s Meeting
2.2.1 All drivers must attend the mandatory drivers meeting. Local flag rules, starting procedure, yellow flag procedure, lap traffic instructions and event schedule notices, along with any track or safety issues, will be discussed. NOTE: The Race Director may elect to start any driver who misses the drivers meeting at the rear of their heat(s).
2.2.2 At least one supervising adult or crew member must accompany minor racers to the drivers meeting.
2.3 Flags & Related Race Call Procedures
Disclaimer: It is the job of the Flagman to relay information regarding the status of the race/ track conditions to the drivers by waving the various race flags, and consequently it is the driver’s job to observe them. We do have track lights that the driver must also be aware of as well, and they are controlled by the Flagman. Corner/Track Staff will also wave yellow flags in event of caution. NOTE: Parents do NOT give hand signals; wave your arms to get their attention, or anything of that nature from the fence line. This is strictly forbidden as the drivers focus must be on the race and the race officials – not being distracted with inappropriate Coaching efforts by mom or dad. Coaching is not possible while the driver is actually racing – so save it for the pits or practice time and after their race when you have their full attention and they are in a “trainable” state of mind. COACHING TIP: Use the race activity/situations as learning lessons, so drivers can learn from mistakes or undesirable race results. Utilize video of race to focus attention on areas of improvement or new skill development goals. Distracting drivers may result in a penalty, or even a DQ (if warranted and/or repeat violation), for the race due to parent’s actions.
2.3.1 Checkered Flag- the race is finished.
- After passing the checkered flag the driver must take one more lap to slow to a moderate pace before exiting the track.
- Top 3 finishers go to weigh-in, proceed slowly to the scales.
- The kart finish order is final and are the official race result unless a kart is being docked for jumping a start, or passing under the cone on a restart, or is disqualified by black flag, or because of a post-race Tech (Rule) violation. No other post-race adjustments will be made, even if a race call/procedure was made in error.
2.3.2 White Flag – one lap to go in the race.
- If there is a wreck after the white flag and the karts are safely out of the way and not posing a safety hazard or risk, the race will continue to the Checker flag ending of the race. In a situation like that, the Flagman may waive the Yellow AND Checkered Flag together. Should a caution be necessary after White Flag is thrown, the race will finish with a Green, White, Checker or Green & White then Checker.
2.3.3 Red Flag – Stop immediately the race has been temporarily halted.
- After slowing to safe stop, drivers will be instructed to proceed safely to turn 4. When directed, one team member may enter the track to re-start their driver’s kart. You may not make adjustments to the kart and will only be permitted to restart the motor.
- If the red flag occurs at or prior to the halfway point, the race may be re-started. Restarts will be in the same order as the last completed and scored green flag lap prior to the Red Flag coming out.
- If the red flag occurs after the halfway point, the race may be scored as a completed race and the results will reflect the last completed Green Flag lap. Karts involved in the red flag incident will be scored at the rear of the field. The officials will make every effort for the race to finish under green flag conditions; however, time and other conditions may require the race to be scored as completed.
- Any kart or driver flipping over (ie: not landing on all 4 tires when kart comes to a complete stop) causing a red flag will be allowed to restart with permission from the Race Director or the Emergency Medical’s Personnel’s approval. Karts that suffered damages during incident may not be allowed to restart if kart is missing mandatory part or damage sustained will make racing unsafe for drivers or race officials. Race Director will make final call.
2.3.4 Yellow Flag – track conditions are not safe, drivers slow to pace lap speed and use caution.
- There is danger on the course and there is a need for caution. When a Yellow Flag is displayed anywhere on the track, it signifies a full course caution.
- Slow down and DO NOT RACE TO THE FINISH LINE ON A YELLOW FLAG. There is no passing under yellow flag. We aren’t scoring you under caution laps and the restart will be based on the last completed and scored lap.
- Karts causing the caution and/or stopped on the track will restart in the rear, but before lapped karts. The “Lucky-Dog” rule applies and any/all lapped karts will be restarting on the ‘lead lap’ and no longer be counted a lap down (until or unless they get lapped again), and they will start at the rear after the kart(s) that caused caution.
- Restart line ups are based on the last completed lap that was scored under full Green Flag lap conditions. Note: to be ‘completed’ more than 75% of karts must have crossed Finish Line.
- The Orange Cone will be brought out for restarts after a Yellow Flag and karts must stay in line until they pass the cone. Karts passing or driving under the cone will be docked a position for race results.
- If a caution is required on the last lap the restart may be Green-White-Checker or Green & White, then Checker. The Flagman will make that call based on conditions, understanding and skill set of the class and/or time limitations.
2.3.5 Green Flag – Starts the race and indicates the course is clear.
- It is at the Flagman’s discretion when to throw the green flag to start the race! It is up to the drivers to be in their proper line-up spot and at correct speed according to Pole position driver’s speed when starting the race.
- Karts cannot jump the start (pass) before the start line or before the orange cone on re-starts.
- If a ‘No Start” occurs more than twice, front row may be placed back a row and/or the karts placed in single file order for next attempt to start race. The Flagman will make that call based on conditions, understanding and skill set of the class and/or time limitations.
2.3.6 Black Flag and “Rolled” Black Flag
- Rolled and pointed means a “Warning” about driver conduct is being given. No penalty will be given to drivers for warnings but repeat offenses will result in full Black Flag and DQ penalty will be given. NOTE: A rolled Black Flag is a learning lesson opportunity that parents must “Coach” on – do not get angry over the call, use it for teaching/Coaching. If you need clarity on the reason, the Flagman will be happy to tell you when the race is finished.
- Waved (open) Black Flag: Driver must exit the track immediately because you have been disqualified for a driving infraction, unsportsmanlike conduct, unsafe equipment, loss of safety apparel or some other mechanical issue. If a participant ignores the black flag and refuses to comply and exit the track, they are subject to disqualification for the event and no points will be awarded. Repeat offenders are subject to race suspension on future date(s).
- Mechanical and/or Safety related Black Flags in a feature, driver will receive last place points according to finish order.
2.3.7 Blue Flag with Yellow Stripe: (not often used but all drivers should know its meaning) a lapping kart is attempting to pass cars, give them consideration. If driver refuses to allow the faster kart to pass they are subject to getting a Black Flag.
DISCLAIMER: The ages and class divisions of the drivers are treated differently based on driver status, skill sets acquired, race equipment handling, and racing comprehension and driver ability. We consider KAM Kartway to be a Driver Development Program for our young drivers in an effort to develop, train, and grow well-rounded and talented drivers for the next higher level of race competition (ie: moving up to the Big Track level). Below are examples of this:
- Young Guns is our beginner, just-getting-started-barely-out-of-training-pants class, and they will be assisted when needed to get in the proper line up and will have a standing start. As they progress during the season we may attempt rolling starts if we feel the drivers are capable as a group to do so.
- The Jr 1 class will also be assisted in their line up starts and will have a slow rolling start. At the track’s discretion, a standing start may be opted for, especially at the start of a race season.
- Jr 2 Clone, having typically had 2 or more years behind the wheel, are expected to know the lineup and what their position is. The Green Flag is waived, and racing starts, when the front two karts have made a steady, even pace and come into the “starting box” at the same time. Drivers must keep pace and be ready, as we will not stop a race for driver lagging behind or not paying attention to Flags and/or Track Lights.
- Please do not encourage your child to “jump the start” because we will see it and they will be docked a position(s) in the final scoring tally or a “No Start” will be called. If several attempts have been made at a Green Flag start and the front row can’t keep an even pace with each other, then they may be sent back a row and the second row will then have an opportunity to start the race the next time around.
2.4 Pre-& Post Race Tech/Safety Inspection – KAM reserves the right to tech any part of the kart, engine, fuel or safety equipment at any time before or after a race or anytime during the course of the event.
2.4.1 The top 3 finishers in the feature must weigh in with kart and driver. Note: There are times when this is waived, but if you have not been signaled to exit the track, please head straight to the scales if you finished 1, 2 or 3. Failure to do so may result in being disqualified for that race and loss of points.
2.4.2 The Race Director (or his appointed Race Official/Tech) will decide how many karts, and for which classes, will be impounded for technical inspection after a Feature.
2.4.3 The designated Technical Director, with Race Director approval, will decide what and how much tech will be done in any given class. Tip: Be prepared to leave with your motor in a box.
2.4.4 Tech may be waived if the top five drivers (Parents in the case of minor drivers) unanimously consent and agree with race results as recorded by Score Keepers.
2.4.5 A DQ following Tech may be appealed. You have until noon the following Monday to provide documentation for your appeal. Use the official Appeal form to start this process. You may get a copy of this form from the Score Keeper or print it from the “Forms” page of the KAM Kartway website.
2.5 Other
2.5.1 No Radio Communication between driver and pit crew will be permitted while the driver is in the driving.
2.5.2 No mirrors on karts.
2.5.3 A drivers 1st time to race – will be required to start on the back for all races.
2.5.4 Kart teams are responsible for keeping their pit are free of trash, debris and dangerous obstacles. Please don’t leave trash on ground in your pit area after the races. [We do live here, and this is our home/yard when races are over.]
2.5.5 All drivers must register and ‘sign in’ prior to the race and before Registration officially closes* (usually the same time driver’s meeting starts or 2 hours after ‘gates open’ time)
- If you are late and miss draw you will start on the back for both the heats. You must still stop at the registration desk and register.
Exception to this rule
- In the event a crew or team member is already at the track (or another parent, racer or track official volunteers to do it) they may register you or your driver if you are running late due to traffic or other unforeseen circumstances beyond your control.
- They must Pay the full driver race fee and draw for the driver so that the lineup grids are not interrupted or posted late.
- The races will not be held for late drivers however, and if you miss the first heat the driver will not be given points credit. They will still invert for the second heat based on their original line up order.
- Phone calls or texts without payments and pill draw will not be accepted.
2.5.6 You must race the kart/motor you registered to receive points.
Exception to this rule
- If your kart is damaged during any heat, a backup car may be used to finish out the night, but the driver will start in the back of all remaining races (including Feature).
2.5.7 If the skills do not meet the class standard of a driver to race in that given class, the Driver may be asked to race in a slower or less crowded class for safety reasons and a better learning environment. On the other hand, if the Driver’s skills exceed the class standard (ie: lapping the field, winning effortlessly racer after race, etc.) the driver will be asked to move up a class. The track reserves the right to modify the class age requirement based on Driver’s skill sets and racing ability.
2.5.8 Any driver racing a higher-level class in 3 or more events may not move back down to a slower level class. However, running two classes is permitted for experienced drivers as long as they are not more than a level apart in our Driver Development Program (Ladder System).
2.5.9 Classes may be added to the race program provided there are 4 or more karts registered to run. Classes may also be combined if fewer than 3 karts in any given class are registered and the classes/driver skill are comparable. Combined classes will be scored separately.
2.5.10 Substitute drivers are not permitted to race for points. Back up motors are allowed, but driver must start in the back of the remaining races.
2.5.11 Tread tires only are required with Right Rear spec tire being a Hoosier D50 or Burris/QRC 50 or 55 and the RR must always durometer a minimum of 50 for all cage kart classes. Pro Clone (and all other flat kart classes) may run slicks.
2.5.12 Tire Prep, or “doping”, is allowed for classes (flat karts only) running slicks. Children under the age of 14 may not use, handle or apply the chemicals themselves.
2.6 Kart Numbers
2.6.1 All karts must have legible number. Flat karts must have numbers at least 6 inches in height affixed to both sides and the back of the kart. Cage & Outlaw karts must have at least 10” numbers on right and left side of wing as well as a back-number plate* attached with at least 6” numbers. Numbers should also be on body of kart should wing become damaged and/or removed. Numbers must be in contrasting colors.
- When the score keepers can’t read your kart number it disrupts lap counting as they try to figure out your kart number and makes it possible to unintentionally miss other kart(s) or track position in the process. If we can’t read your number ~ that kart will simply not be scored.
- * Numbers are required on the back of the kart so that other drivers know where to line up in the event of restarts.
2.6.2 All kart numbers must be registered with AND pre-approved by KAM Kartway on an annual basis. Two karts with the same number will not be allowed to race in the same class. A letter or number must be added to the kart number and letters must be at least half the size of the number when displayed on kart.
- During a points season, a returning class veteran has first dibs on a kart number. Otherwise, numbers are approved on a first registered (1st come, 1st served) basis. To be fair, if 2 drivers register at the same time, both karts must add a letter/number to the number.
- Special event races (non-points races such as Short Track Shootout & Texas Challenge) the kart numbers are assigned on a 1st registered basis, and any class duplicate number will be required to add a letter or number for the purpose of scoring and posting grids/line-ups.
2.6.3 Numbers may not exceed 3 digits/characters long and all letters should be half the size of the number when used in a combination.
2.6.4 The Head Score Judge will have final determination on the legibility of the numbers on any kart.
Section 3 – Points System
A-Main Feature Finishes
1st Place 100 6th Place 75 11th Place 50 16th Place 25
2nd Place 95 7th Place 70 12th Place 45 17th Place 20
3rd Place 90 8th Place 65 13th Place 40 18th Place 15
4th Place 85 9th Place 60 14th Place 35 19 & beyond Place 10
5th Place 80 10th Place 55 15th Place 30
3.1 Heat Winners will receive 5 points per heat.
3.2 When a B-Main is required, top 4 drivers from the B go on to race the A Main and collect the points based on the A-Main finish. The remaining B-Main drivers, based on their finish, receive points in line with the last place finisher of the A-Main. (Example: 12 Karts finish the A-Main the next finisher in line will receive 13th Place points and so on.)
3.3 You MUST BE A CURRENT REGISTERED DRIVER TO RACE AT KAM AND COLLECT POINTS. Being registered is not, however a requirement to race at KAM Kartway. For guests or first-time drivers, you get to keep any trophy/award based on your feature finish, but the unregistered driver does not receive points for the race. If applicable, the Registered Drivers will move up for points distribution in place of un-registered driver’s race result/placement, however results, posts, Press Release, etc. will always show actual & true kart finishers as they crossed the finish line (baring any penalties) as long as the kart and driver meet the Rules and requirements.
3.4 If you are disqualified for rules violation in the feature, the driver will not receive points. In the event that there is a “Drop” for the Points Series, a DQ Zero may NOT be dropped. The beginner classes (ie: Young Gun & Jr 1) will get last place points for Black Flag DQ since these are “learning” classes. EXCEPTION: If it a Black Flag was given for a mechanical or safety reason, the driver will get last place points.
3.5 All registered drivers who come to the track with a race ready kart, however due to mechanical issues cannot start the feature (DNS) will receive last place points less 15. Driver (or Parent) must inform Score Judge that they are scratching and reason must be approved to receive points.
3.6 If driver starts the feature but DNF (Did Not Finish) they will get points based on what lap they came out on with regard to the other racer(s) finishes.
3.7 Points will be cumulative through the entire series.
3.8 In the event of a rain out prior to completion of the heats being completed, all registered drivers will receive 95 points. If both heats have been completed, points will be based on the Feature Lineup Grid and awarded accordingly. Driver must be present, registered and race fees paid to receive points.
3.9 In the event of a series end tie in points, tie will be broken by the number of Feature wins – a second tie breaker will be based on the number of heat wins.
3.10 To qualify for end of series awards, driver must complete at least 60% of all scheduled points races and the class must have a race average of 3 karts or more for the series.
DISCLAIMER: If a driver receives enough points that puts them in a trophy position but doesn’t meet the attendance requirement – AND – if no one else is eligible or otherwise qualifies for the position, then they have the option to purchase the Championship Cup for the Year-End Awards Presentation. The cost of the cups are currently $50 to $85 depending on place size.
3.10.2 Record Keeping and Points Audits: A Track Official (this could be a member of the KAM staff or a track volunteer) will audit points and race results throughout the race season. Accumulative Points Updates will be posted at least monthly on one or all of our Social Media platforms. The points worksheets will also be posted on our website under the “Points” menu tab so that drivers and parents can frequently check results. It is up to the driver, or their parent if the driver is a minor, to contact Kelley if they feel there is an error in the race results or points tabulation.
