Karting Rules

CLASS RULES 2024:

 

  1. Fuel: The track management will designate a specific official fuel stop prior to the beginning of each season. This same fuel will be available for purchase at the track.

 

  1. Motors: Will comply to NKA motor rules unless specifically noted otherwise in the specific class rules. AKRA motor rules will also be accepted, but you must declare it during pre-race technical inspection. If you don’t, NKA rules will be enforced.

 

  1. Age Determination: If track management feels there could be a discrepancy with a driver’s age as it pertains to what class they are racing in, the track management will ask the driver or drivers parents/guardian for proof of age. Failure to provide proof could result in the driver being disqualified from the event or the driver moving up/down in class depending on the situation.

 

  1. Driver Minimum Weight: All classes where there is a driver minimum weight requirement, the driver will be weighed without race wear, helmet, etc.

 

  1. Stock Appearing (Predator): Means the motor must look identical to how it comes directly out of the original box. It cannot be modified in any way as to its appearance. Some minor adjustments can be made to linkage, etc. Consult the lead tech official beforehand.

 

  1. RPM & Surge: In classes where rules dictate an RPM and surge requirement, the motor can be checked any time at BCRP tech officials’ discretion. Not allowing the tech official(s) to verify the RPM/surge will result in an automatic disqualification.

 

  1. Tires: All classes unless otherwise noted are on an open slick tire. The track will not be policing tire prep unless noted in specific class rules. If track officials find a participant isn’t being environmentally responsible with chemical disposal, that participant can be disqualified.

 

  1. No Prep @ The Track: Track tech official(s) will use a specific race day rule to govern. Any violation of this rule will result in an automatic disqualification from any no prep @ the track classes the kart and/or driver participated in.

 

  1. Clutch: Unless otherwise noted in a specific class, all classes are on an open clutch rule.

 

  1. Seat Belts: Champ buggy classes must have up to date seat belts. All seat belts must be stamped/identified in the previous 2 years. All belts have a 2-year expiration.

 

  1. Minimum Weight: If a kart and/or driver fail to make weight, the driver will be given a second opportunity. During the second opportunity, the driver will position themselves and the kart on the scale how they wish as long as the kart and driver stay within the boundaries of the scales. Their second attempt will be their last. If anyone other than the driver and tech officials touch the kart between the 1st and 2nd attempts, the result will be an automatic disqualification.

 

  1. Gear Rules: Gear selection could be changed at track managements discretion based on track competition and participant feedback. A rule change notice will be published in advance.

 

  1. Economy Classes: The Future Stars and Sr. Predator Stock classes will have a discounted entry fee. Neither class will have a race payout unless specifically advertised for a single race event. All other race and year end awards will apply.

 

  1. Sealed Predator Motor: May run in the box stock predator classes but must also comply with all rules per that class. The seals are not an exception or a preventive measure to prevent tech from tearing down the motor. BCRP tech has the right to remove the seals for technical inspection at their discretion. The Predator Stock 375, Predator Sr. Stock, Future Stars, and Champ Predator 425 are not sealed required classes.

 

GOLDEN RULES:

Track management reserves the right to adapt the rules as needed in fairness of competition and participant safety. All rule changes will be published and noticed made of those changes.

IF IT IS NOT WRITTEN, THAT DOES NOT MEAN ITS LEGAL.
