SSKC Race # 1 Recap

May 9/12 - The first race of the season, Sunday May 6th was met with a very mixed bag of weather... cloud mixed with rain.  Despite those conditions the race went forward.  Practice was generally cloudy.  We started out with 14 registered racers at the outset but numbers declined for the actual races due to the rain.  It started to rain just before qualifying started and several of the participants decided not to run in the rain and left.

Those who stayed put on their rain tires and qualifying and the first race went ahead on the rain tires
 
The weather started to break and for the second heat the Jr1 and Jr TAG ran on a dry track with slicks.  The Sr TAG/Masters started out on slicks but only a couple (Nick and Sam) could stay on the track as the rain again returned.  That heat was stopped a couple of laps in by the flag man because of concerns about safety in wet conditions on slicks.

All in all not an optimal race day, but for those who braved the weather there was some additional experience of running in poor weather that may prove of some value in some of the race competitions this coming year in the ROK Cup or ROTAX Max Challenge.

Lets hope for better race weather on the 27 of May for Race number 2.

Thanks to Sam F for the recap of the race day


2012  Test & Tune Rules


May 5/12 - Just a quick reminder about T & T rules for the season.

1. Waivers must be signed before going on track.

2. T & T fees now apply.

3. All karts must meet their class rules when it comes to restrictors and weight.  All driving gear must be worn.  A pre –tech will be performed and if you do not meet spec, corrections will need to be made for problems before running.  The inspectors will try to help everyone understand what is needed and why.  There is a technical inspection sheet on the club website that is a good starting point.  All are reminded about being sure brakes are good and functional and it is suggested you check for leakage around the master cylinder and caliper(s) if you have not already done so.  If you need help inspecting or bleeding the brake system, just ask.

4. In case of rain and you decide to practice in the rain, you must have on rain tires.  The “CLUB” race/practice rain tire rule is any manufactures rain tire is accepted.  For those that have never driven in the rain, slicks are just useless and you have very little to no directional control and as such are likely to cause problems and result in kart damage.  Also protection for the air intake is highly recommended.  Commercial models of intake rain protection are available or jury rigged systems can be made with a plastic coke bottle.  Those with ROK 2 cycle engines should really use protection on the ignition system on the left side of the engine, an empty small plastic cottage cheese or chip dip container of about the 225 to 250 gram size is ideal.  Ask one of the experienced ROK drivers if you have questions.

5. Maximum 10 kart per class at a time on the track.  In case of more than 10, class will be split and managed in this way.
    - Session will be increased to 20 minutes.
    - All drivers must be ready to go as when a kart comes off the track, another one will be allowed on track to take his place. Drivers will be waived off the track after 10 minutes to allow others their time and if room, you may go back out until the session ends.

6. There is no passing allowed any where on the track, no wheel to wheel racing permitted during Test and Tunes.  A passing zone may be implemented however it must be manned by a non competitor.  If implemented, a blue “passing flag” will be used to warn a driver that a faster kart wants to pass.  A driver failing to allow this kart to pass will be blacked flagged and removed from the session.  A second infraction will suspend this driver from participating for the remainder of the day.

7. Quiet rule in effect. (proven last weekend it wasn’t so bad after all.)

2012 4-cycle tires - Mojo brand


Mar. 26/12 - For 2012 all 4 cycle karts - Senior & Junior Briggs and any Mini Max karts - will be spec'd to use Mojo tires.  It will be Mojo 4.5 x 5 x 10 front D1 and Mojo 6.0 x 5 x 11 rear D1 tires.

Keith reports that "... Fortunately, this makes my life easier as I already am part of the Mojo tire program through SRA which will help supply and costs to you!!! I am just awaiting the final pricing, but my understanding is they are less money than the Bridgestone currently used..."

Keith is setting up orders for the start of the year so please let him know how many tires sets you wish to order to get started.  Those who have the old Bridgestone will be allowed to wear them out, however if you have to buy additional tires the new spec will be Mojo.

Contact Keith Miller for additional information (see his contact info at the bottom, left side of this page)
