SAFETY UPDATE: WEIGHTS & BATTERIES
35MM WASHERS FOR WEIGHT (inside seat and outside weight) - Required Starting March 30 (Spring 4).
Our insurance company notified us that, due to a catastrophic accident involving a weight pulling through a seat, we need to ensure that all weights are properly secured with a 35mm washer, in addition to previous requirements.
New requirements for weights starting SPRING 4 (March 30, 2024) and as part of your regular kart setup for any track time:
- Weights painted white
- Marked with kart #
- Secured with 5/16" bolts (1 bolt for under 7 lbs, 2 bolds for 7+ lbs)
- Double nutted or drilled bolt safety-wired / cotter pinned
- Secured with a 35mm washer on the inside of the seat and the outside of the weight
Karts will not be permitted on the track if they are not in compliance. We appreciate your help enforcing this for the safety of everyone. If a weight falls off a kart during a race, it will result in a DQ for the event.
HEAVY DUTY ZIP TIE WRAP FOR STARTER BATTERY - Required starting March 30 (Spring 4)
Starting Spring 4 (March 30, 2024) and as part of your regular kart setup for any on-track time, please use a heavy duty Zip Tie wrap to secure your onboard starter battery (suggested: 175 lb. Zip Tie) and label with the kart #.
Karts will not be permitted on the track if they are not in compliance. We appreciate your help enforcing this for the safety of everyone. If a battery falls off a kart during a race, it will result in DQ for the event.
ONBOARD CAMERA
In the interest of minimizing risk, please remember to hard-mount AND tether your onboard camera to the chassis. Please mark it with the driver kart #.
PRE-TECH INSPECTION / 2024 CHASSIS TAGS
Future 2024 Pre-tech inspections will include the above items for tech. If you have already had your kart tagged for 2024, please ensure compliance.
