WEIGHT CALCULATIONS:
The basic formula to determine the weight for each class is as follows: A + B = C.
- A = kart weight in lbs.
- B = drivers or driver weight in lbs. with full racing gear. Total drivers weight divided by the number of drivers.
- C = total weight of kart plus drivers’ average weight should equal or greater to the class weights listed below.
- C for Kid Karts is 160 lbs.
- C for LO206 Junior 1 is 240 lbs.
- C for LO206 Junior 2 is 310 lbs.
- C for LO206 Senior is 360 lbs.
- C for LO206 Heavy is 390 lbs.
Example: Heavy class with 4 drivers: A (203.75) + B (175 + 165+ 215+ 190) 745/4 = C
(driver wt. 186.25 + kart wt. 203.75) = 390 lbs. minimum class wt.
