*Weight is determined by total weight of the kart plus the average weight of the team drivers.

ALL CLASSES:
Ethanol free Buc-ee’s fuel (pumps 241 & 242)
Dry tires Evinco Blues (4.6 - 6.0) and MG rain tires (4.6 - 6.0).
NOTE: NTK is not selling tires because of the banquet.
Important- Each team/driver and kart will be weighed before and after the Main Event. All lead must be painted white, attached to the kart, properly secured with team or driver name written on the weight prior to safety tech. There will be no adding or removing weight after safety inspection for safety reasons. All drivers must complete a mandatory minimum of 25 laps.

WEIGHT CALCULATIONS:
The basic formula to determine the weight for each class having 1,2,3 or 4 drivers 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 NTK rule book weight. Class weights listed below.
    • C for Jr1 240 lbs.
    • C for Jr2 is 310 lbs.
    • C for 206 Sr is 360 lbs.
    • C for 206 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.
