MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Several questions and concerns have been brought up and we want to address each of those below:
TIRE SPECIFICATIONS:
*All specified classes must run new STICKER Tires for qualifying. Those tires will be branded after qualifying and must be ran in the heat and feature as well. The Classes that require NEW Sticker Tires are as follows:
PRO Clone
PRO Tag Leopard
PRO Yamaha Supercan
PRO Yamaha Junior
PRO Yamaha Sportsman
Briggs PRO Gas Senior
All other classes are not required to qualify on New Sticker tires. The reason we require Sticker tires is to ensure no one is running CUT or TRUED tires. These classes also have the most guaranteed money being paid throughout the class.
*We purchased a tire sniffer for over $5000 that uses the same technology the latest WKA tire Sniffer uses as well as the Rotax series in Europe uses.
*We have also attained a tech official whose primary focus will be the inspection of tires. He will be armed with a Tyre Sniffer, Durometer, Pyrometer, and a Tire Branding Iron.
*NO PREP ALLOWED of any kind. Anyone caught prepping will be disqualified for the entire weekend with NO REFUNDS.
*NO Tire Warming of any kind allowed. We will be using the Pyrometer to make sure all tires are consistent temperature wise. If you come to the grid with hot tires, you will be disqualified.
*NO Cutting or Truing Tires.
*Racers must RACE the same tires they Qualify. This is where the branding iron comes in.
2-CYCLE ENGINE RULES:
We will use 2013 WKA Engine rules across the board for all 2cycle classes with the following exceptions
*2012 Adult Supercan Exhaust rules will apply for the Yamaha Supercan Adult class only.
4-CYCLE ENGINE RULES:
We will allow 2013 NKA, AKRA, or WKA Engine Rules for all classes.
The Clones will use the Big Pipe and Open Clutch in all classes which use the Clone Engine.
PRIZES:
We have probably the best prize package for this race of any race we have done before.
*ALL Drivers will receive a Maxxis Goodie bag with all kinds of Maxxis Items.
*The non payout classes will award the Top 3 Trophies in each class. The 1st place trophy is a 14 inch ROOK Chess piece engraved with the class details.
*PRO Clone and PRO Tag Leopard will receive a 16 inch KING Chess Piece engraved with the class details.
*PRO Clone and PRO Tag Leopard will also receive a Briefcase to hold all of the CASH. The briefcase will also be etched with the class and event details.
*ALL Money class winners will receive a TROPHY CHECK. You can see all of these on our PKT Right Turn Edition Facebook Page.
PAYOUT:
*We have had several ask about the "NON" Guaranteed classes with kart minimums. In these classes, if the kart minimum is not met, we pay 100% of registration. So for Pro 4cycle Junior as an example: Lets say we get 10 entries in the class. The entry fee is $75. 75 x 10 = $750 we took in as Registration. We would then payout as follows - 1st $375, 2nd $188, 3rd $93, 4th $47, 5th $47. Those totals come to the $750 or 100% of registration. Hopefully I explained that ok, if not, feel free to give me a call at 6154273427 for further explanation. |

Thanks! | Hey Tim,
The Track Layout will be the "National Layout." Per Mike, this is the same layout used in September at the Man Cup and at the Robopong in 2012.
On the tire ordering, you can order here http://www.goldspeedusa.com/tires_5in.html
We will also have tires for sale at the track. Thank you for the support! |

We are racing this weekend. If it is too cold for you, I hear there is a bingo tournament indoors this weekend. We will be racing on the best track in the country with the best prize package to ever embrace sprint karting. The Maxxis Babes will have very little on so I expect everyone else to be nice and cozy!
http://maxxisbabes.co.uk/babes
Today is the LAST DAY to get those preentries in. We will also be doing registration at the track if you do not preenter so no worries there.
Several have asked if Goldspeed will have tires for sale at the track. Thank answer is YES. They will have a trailer full of tires for sale at the track.
All payouts are made in CASH. Therefore, we only accept cash as payment at the track for registration or gate/pit passes. No checks or credit cards while at the track unless previously approved. |
