Innisfil Kart Club 2015 RULES & REGULATIONS HANDBOOK Revised as of the March 2015 Spring Meeting Minutes SPORTING REGULATIONS About Innisfil Kart Club Innisfil Kart club is a non-profit club that is directed by a governing board. The Board Members hold a one-year term. Our mission statement is “Promoting Competition and Sportsmanship through Motorsports in a fun, non-partisan environment.” Innisfil Kart Club uses the Innisfil Indy as its home track. It is located east of Hwy 11 off Hwy 89, on 2006 Gilford Rd. The track owners, Tony and Rose Launi, built a new high speed, technically challenging track in 2004. The track length was increased in 2006, and is now bidirectional and has several different layouts. Our racing season starts in April with a training day for our young and new members, and ends in October with an Enduro Race and BBQ. We usually have a 12 race season with drivers competing for points towards a championship. Members also enjoy traveling to other tracks in Ontario to race. At Innisfil Kart club, we race under most conditions, including light snow, rain, or sunshine. For safety precautions, rain tires are required under rain conditions. We have an electronic timing system to allow a proper qualifying session and safe starts. As we are an ASN affiliated club, we enjoy the benefits of the standardized rules, racing insurance, a safety inspected track and a regulated organizational body. Championship Awards The top 3 of each recognized class will be awarded championship trophies. The top 1 will also receive a jacket. Race Day Awards Race day awards will be presented at the end of the day based on finishing positions in the finals. Trophies and/or medallions will be awarded to the top 3 for all junior classes and the top 3 for all novice and top 3 for senior classes.

The driver/entrant will be considered to be “Not in Good Standing” until the transponder has been found and returned or until the $375.00 has been paid to Innisfil Indy Karting. The driver/entrant irrevocable authorizes the Innisfil Kart Club to retain the driver’s competition license until full payment has been made. Qualifying Procedures/Race Format Start positions for the pre-final will be determined by the times recorded during official qualifying. The Novice Class will have 2 pre-finals, and a final. Grid positions for qualifying will be determined by random order. Karts that are not ready to enter the track when signaled to, will forfeit their -7- position and will not be allowed to enter the track until all other karts have done so. Start positions for the final will be based on finishing positions of the pre-final. Notwithstanding the above: “Rookies” will start at the back of the grid for the pre-final and final for their first 3 races, unless they have attended training day and then will start at the back for the pre-final only for their first 3 races. A non-member entering a race on the last 3 scheduled race dates of the season, or a club member who first races in a class (as a member) in any of the last 2 scheduled race dates of the season, will be required to start at the back of the grid for the pre-final and final race. Warm Up Laps/Formation Lap The number of warm up laps will be decided by the Race Director and will be announced on the grid. Drivers who rail to maintain their official grid position during the warm up lap are permitted to regain their grid position prior to arriving at the formation line on the track during the final warm up lap, only if this does not impede other drivers. Drivers who fail to do so, or who fail to maintain their official grid position between the formation line and the start signal, must drop back to the rear of the filed for the start of the race. If a driver stops for any reason on the formation lap, they will not be allowed to try and restart again until they have been passed by the entire field. For all classes, drivers are allowed to try and restart their kart in accordance with ASN TR10.11. Race Start The start of the race will be signaled by the starter at the start/finish line, by the waving of the green flag. To be considered a race starter, or to compete in a race, a qualified kart/driver must enter the race before the field has completed 1 green flag lap. Karts that do not comply with this Regulation shall be classified as Did Not Start (DNS). A driver that has qualified for a starting position, but does not start the scheduled race, shall not receive any qualifying or racing points. (As per ASN Canada FIA 2015 Regulations 11.6 A and B). Stopped Karts on the Track Drivers are required to follow the instructions of the officials and marshals. Karts may be recovered by the officials and taken to the scale area. Karts will not normally be recovered until after a race is over. -8- Crew members/family members are NOT permitted to recover a kart from the track at any time unless permission is granted by an official. A $50.00 fine may be applied to violators. Provided it can be performed safely, and unless instructed otherwise by a race official, the driver (alone) may repair the kart on the course during a practice, qualifying session, heat, or race. Except as otherwise provided for in the regulations, the driver must not receive any physical assistance restarting their kart. (Novice drivers will receive assistance from a corner worker only, when it is safe to do so). The driver is responsible for moving the kart to a safe area and ensuring that they and the kart remain in a place of safety for the entire running of the race or session. Drivers must keep their helmets on at all time on the course. End of Session Procedures At the end of qualifying and race sessions, drivers must go to the scale area and weigh in. Drivers who fail to weigh in following a qualifying or pre-final session will be disqualified and will start at the back for the next session of that day. Drivers who fail to weigh in after the final will receive last place points. Karts that break down on the track, should be brought to the scales to be weighed in order to receive the appropriate points for where you have finished. Once you take the green flag, you are required to go through the scales. Flag System Innisfil Kart Club will use the flags and flag signals set out in ASN SR11 with the following modifications: “Blue with Red X” will not be used “Yellow with Red Stripes” will not be used All flags, including the blue flag, may be used in practice, qualifying and racing. In addition to the other penalties that may be assessed, failure to obey a blue flag during qualifying may result in the loss of the driver’s fastest time. Procedure to Stop a Race Races will be stopped in accordance with ASN SR 10.12(c) and the red flag will be displayed by the starter and possibly each flag station, but with the following modification: On first seeing the Red Flag it is the responsibility of all drivers to -9- immediately slow down, stop racing, no passing is allowed, exercise extreme caution and pull to the side of the track and STOP as soon as it is safe to do so. Except in an emergency, drivers should not get out of their karts until signaled to do so by a race official. Drivers should keep their helmets on at all times while on the course, unless otherwise instructed by an official. Wet Race If the Race Director declares the race to be a Wet Race, all karts on dry tires will be allowed 15 minutes to change to wet tires. It is the competitor’s responsibility to ensure they do not damage the technical inspection marking on any set of tires that has previously been painted. When changing tires, competitors must comply with ASN TR 7(a, b, c). If a race is started in the dry, and it starts to rain on all or part of the course prior to the completion of 50% of the scheduled race length, the Race Director is empowered to use procedures for stopping/restarting a race in the ASN Sporting Regulations. Such a decision is not subject to Appeal. If a race is restarted, 15 minutes shall be allowed for changing to wet tires. If a race is started as a wet race and the track dries to such an extent that it is, in the opinion of the Race Director, inappropriate to continue to race on wet tires, the Race Director shall invoke the procedures for stopping/restarting a race in these regulations. Such a decision is not subject to Appeal. Drivers are not allowed to keep their visors open during racing. In the case of rain, a driver may crack their visor slightly. Re-entry to Track Competitors who exit from the track during a race will not be permitted to re-enter the track during that session or race. If a driver does so during qualifying, they will lose their best time, and during a race, will be DQ’d. This DQ will not be allowed to be used as a drop. Pit Lane Competitors are prohibited from driving through the track exit lane without stopping. A driver must stop and switch off their engine before reaching the weigh-in area containing the scales.
