Motley asks for clarification on Section 114.5.2. Feels there is confusion
on this rule re: DQ, points, flagrant DQ, non-flagrant DQ, drops, bigger
issue in small classes. Feels that most IKF members think a DQ is zero
points. Feels this rule is not clear to the members. Lengthy discussion by
Board and some members present. Motley asks the 2 Cycle Sprint Committee to look at this issue with possible recommendation to change at the
September Board Meeting. Needs to be more clear.
Clarification on the TaG Cadet and TaG Junior class at the 2009 2 Cycle
Sprint Grand National. Motley states the classes are to be run at the Grand
National as they are in Region 11 – Gazelle only in TaG Cadet and Leopard
and Rotax in the TaG Junior class. Discussion by Board. Tabled for discussion at the Sunday Meeting.
Motion by Schorn to appoint Chris Hatch as the 2009 Region 6 Road Race
Coordinator. Second by Scribner.

Motion by Scribner to appoint Mike Schorn as the Race Director of the
2009 2 Cycle Sprint Grand National. Second by Araki.
In Favor: Araki, Hoegerl, Holmboe, Motley, Scribner, Abstain: Schorn,
Hilger asks for review of Section 101.1.5 and 101.1.6 to allow the Director
in Charge and Tech Director to race at the Grand National event. Motley
asks whether the action was proper. Is it a rule update or vote? Hilger states
they do not vote on all rule updates. Board and members discuss if it is a
conflict of interest and what their job is at the event. Schorn explains how
he has handled this at past Grand Nationals as an official and a participant.
Lengthy discussion by Board.
Motion by Schorn to rescind Section 101.1.5 and Section 101.1.6. Second
by Scribner.

The 2010 2 Cycle Speedway/Speedway Midget National will be awarded
at the September Board Meeting.
Hilger comments that Speedway does their award presentations at the
pit meeting. Good representation for the sponsors. Discussion by Board
and members.
Board approves the shirt design for the 2009 Road Race Grand National.
Trophy design to come later.
The June issue of Karter News will have the notice of acceptance of bids
for the IKF Grandnational races (approximately 24 months away). The bids
for the IKF Grand Nationals must be in the IKF Office prior to September 1,
2009 (approximately 21 months before the race).
Directors List:
Bill Hilger
1. Hilliard Clutch is forwarded to Terry Nash to evaluate.
2. Thor Brake is given to Glenn Araki to evaluate. Discussion by Board.
Jack Hoegerl
1.SFI 2 & 4 Cycle Tech Certification Program. Test will be available for
18+ age members. IKF will provide the tech seminar. SFI will grade the tests.
Seminar and test to possibly be in conjunction with the September Board
Meeting. Hoegerl has checked the 4 Cycle test but not the 2 Cycle. Open book
test. Goal is that you are familiar with the Rulebook and can go to the book to
find the rule; not to know the rules by heart. Suggests a Midwest seminar and
testing in the September –December timeframe. Suggests an on going certification and seminar program to get more people involved. Wants members
to know about the certification program. Can be for average member also.
Wants to improve our whole program.
John Motley
1.Pre-Tech Certification Sheet. They are using this form at regional and
National events. A self tech form. Using in Region 7 all this year. He had
some concerns to begin with; found adherence to the rules was remarkably
good using this system. It puts the onus of conforming to the safety rules on
the participants and makes them more aware of it. There have been requests
to do this down to the club level. He has mixed opinions of this. Hoegerl asks
if they did random checking – Motley replies yes. Surprised at conformance.
Araki states it works out very well, even on practice day. Motley states the
original intent was not to do below the regional level. McMillan asks if they
are trying to lighten the load on the tech people. Motley states that is an additional benefit. What it is doing is putting the responsibility for the kart being
correct on the participant. Used before with good results. Discuss mechanical
failures. Motley is dazzled at the conformance to the rules. Motley states this
was run through the insurance company and there were no issues. Hoegerl
states if a club requests to do this as part of their pre tech, one of the requirements would be they have used it at a regional race and it was successful.
Feels that in 2 Cycle Speedway they need to look at the karts. Motley cannot
comment on Speedway.
2.Lifetime Memberships
Motley feels this is a great idea but not doable with present software.
Don Holmboe – Note: Most verbiage from notes – voice was barely
picked up on recording tape.
1.Color of lead weights. Holmboe states that some want to add another
color lead weight. Some cannot find white to buy.
2. 15” Faring. Mini Texas Tornado was created when a Super Majority
vote was used for the CIK faring for the super stock class at the 2009 Road
Race Grand National. States he will be using the Proposal process to go
back to the 15” faring for 2010. Wants to generate input from members.
Received 6 emails already. Wants to get the other side also by using Proposal system.
3. Spec tires in Road Race
States he will be making a Proposal to deal with this also. Received input?
McMillan asks what the Proposal on tires is. Holmboe reads the following:
Section 313 Any IKF Cub or Promoter, at a Regional or National event, may
require spec tires. Any request for spec tires to be run in any class must be
approved by the IKF Board of Directors at the January Meeting in the year
of the request.
Holmboe states they went against current rules. Hilger asks Mac if MG
can give away any tires at the event; Mac says Bill can try. They are already
funding trophies.
Membership Communication:
Email from Randy Lyon re: Section 105.1.6
Request for camera on helmet during practice. Discussion by Board.
Board upholds current rule that does not allow this.
Hilger states an EVS neck brace has been received and will be tested with
recommendations to the Board.
PROPOSALS

pending approval of engine specifications by the Board.Seconds: Holmboe
& Schorn

TaG Cadet to be run as per Region 11 local option rules, Gazelle engine
only. IKF TaG Junior to be run as per Region 11 local option rules, Leopard
and Rotax Junior engines only. They are using the IKF Tech Manual for the
engine rules. Motley states they do have to have the engine spec sheet as
well. Holmboe asks if there is concern about the new 09 cylinders for Rotax,
Motley remarks yes, tremendous concern. Motley says we have no control
when Rotax makes a change, is a concern.
Motion by Motley: Clarification of the 2009 2 Cycle Sprint Grand

Fuel
Hilger states the contract has been signed with VP Fuel and MS98 is
the official spec fuel for the IKF, with some class exceptions allowed upon
application. Have received some complaints about oil separation because of
the cold weather. States that Motley has done some testing and addressed
this. Motley states that it is a temperature related thing. States that Region
11 complaint is strange because of difference in weather at two events.
States that 45 is about the dividing line on this. John did test to verify how
this happens and explains to Board and members. Suggestions made to
Region 7 how to handle this. Discussion by Board.
Ambulance Requirements
Hilger had a request regarding an ambulance issue at a local club race.
Hilger approved the 1st responder for the event. States that if you do not
have an ambulance at the event, the promoter must be in contact with ambulance in the city or town to make sure it is sitting in the bay. The moment
that ambulance leaves the bay, they must let you know because your racing
must end until the ambulance has returned. Hilger to give copies to the
Board. McMillan states there is not adequate verbiage in the Rulebook.
Hilger recognizes Doug Norgaard and his family as volunteers that
are hard to find. They will help everyone at the track. They go to Iowa,
Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Also helps the regional coordinators with their series.
Bill thanks Doug and his family for their support of the karters and
the IKF.

Richter and Art Verlengiere were not in attendance at the Meeting.
Member and guest in attendance: Janet Scribner.
Clone Report
Clone report from Terry Nash on April 16, 2009. Terry states he has run
the heck out of the clone that RLV sent me. It does not compare to the
local option 206. The carb and drivability are not the same. Getting the jets
drilled correctly especially. The oil comes out quite dirty and the shedding
inside has been substantial. The rules question….I have heard of so much
difference between the cost, the cost is the only thing I can see appealing.
Discussion by Board of clone and Local Option 206. Hilger says no one
has sent any rules for the clone. We need these rules in the IKF Office.
Bill agrees with Hoegerl the class can be approved with rules. Hoegerl
states tracks and promoters are not aware of the clone being available for
approval as a local option. No resolution at this time.
Hilger announces the Agreements were signed today for the 2009 Speedway Pavement Grand National to be held at Jamaica Speedway in Jamaica
IA on August 13-15, 2009. Hilger to be the Director in Charge, Hoegerl to
be the 2 Cycle Tech Director and Andy Bear to be the Race Director. The 4
Cycle Tech Director will be announced. After a successful event this year,
Hilger says to extend for Jamaica to have the event in 2010 also.

different series and the Grand Nationals.
Hilger asks if the September Board Meeting will be in Ontario. Scribner
states that 8 racers in his region would be interested in attending a Board
Meeting in Sacramento. States that track delegates also want to attend the
Meeting, which is significant. Hoegerl asks if there is a racing conflict –
Scribner says no. Scribner states he and Araki are going to meet with the
track delegates one on one. Hilger suggests that key IKF people meet with
all of them at the same time. Less expensive that way. Board feels this is a
good idea. Board agrees the Fall Board Meeting will be in Ontario.

After reviewing the actual Minutes at the IKF office the actual verbiage was:
Asked how the Road Race deal went through. Hilger states when he
went down there they could do it (tire rule) because no one else wanted to
do the Road Race unless we revisit Bernie.
February Minutes will be revised.
SPEEDWAY: Bits & Pieces
CLUTCH/CHAIN GUARDS.
Every since I witnessed an injury due to a clutch coming into
contact with the seat and ultimately the driver’s leg, I have been
in pursuit of a guard that will protect the driver’s leg and or arm
from coming into contact with the clutch.
The device must have adequate protection but yet be easily
removable so you can access the clutch without having to loosen
the engine mount to tip the engine to work on the clutch.
Currently, I have been forwarded three such devices. One from
Jex Manufacturing, one from Dynamic Karting in Texas, and one
from Koopman Racing in Minnesota. The Jex Clutch guard was
tested at the Tulsa Shootout by my son and it worked very well and
the removable plate made the clutch very accessible.
The Mega Guard as I call it from Dynamic Karting is an add
on plate to existing clutch guards or you can purchase the entire
guard. This also looks like it has protection and accessibility. The
Guard from Koopman Racing is a carbon fiber protection device
that also is an add on to your existing chain guard. Koopman’s son
raced it at the Tulsa Shootout as well and it performed as designed.
Easily removable for clutch access as well.
Please take a look at these and visit the various websites of each
and find the one that bests works for you. Eventually a device like
this will be mandatory but right now they are optional. Talk to
someone who had this happen to them and you will put a guard
on without hesitation. If you have another design and want to submit it for review, please forward to IKF. www.jexmfg.com www.
dynamickarting.com www.koopmanracing.com
EXHAUST HEADER WRAP
It is encouraged that all animal headers are wrapped with a
protective insulating covering that will help reduce the burns from
having contact with the header.
With the animal exhaust header pipe that comes up and then goes
back down it has become very easy for participants to accidently
touch or grab this header causing some serious burns, and that is why
the IKF is recommending this procedure this year. It is not mandatory
but will be in 2010. Contact your local kart shop for header wrap.
TIRE PREP
As the tire prep craze continues it has become apparent that
many of these products are considered home type brews and are
sold without adequate warnings or listing of contents. There are
also those that comply fully with the law.
It is recommended that if you purchase any tire prep product
that it be labeled correctly and that you ask for a MSDS sheet. Federal law requires any manufacturer and/or supplier for chemicals
have a 24 hour, 7 day a week, 52 weeks a year emergency response
number. If you are dealing with a reputable company they will
have their MSDS’s on file with CHEMTREC (800) 424-9300. This
is the de facto standard for any emergency responder to go for
emergency data. CHEMTREC has more data than is required
on an MSDS. If the chemical that you are buying is not on file at
CHEMTREC then be sure to get the suppliers 24 hour emergency
response number.
Most labels say keep out of the reach of children. Some take this
as being under 18 for the age to handle these chemicals. Also when
handling chemicals, nitrile gloves are recommended at the minimum. Safety glasses are also recommended. Having proper contact
information is necessary in case of an accident with chemicals at the
track. Medical personnel do not know what to treat the patient for
if they do not know what chemicals were involved.
QUESTIONS IN GENERAL
If you have a particular question about any form of IKF karting,
contact your appropriate committee chairman or someone on the
committee. IKF has various committees and they are there to serve
you, help you answer questions and take input on what may be
helpful for the future of karting. The committees and personnel are
listed in the IKF Technical Manual and the IKF website.
There are times that you will see answers put on various website
forums that do not have the correct information in terms of the IKF
rules and regulations. If you are not sure where to start, contact the
IKF office and they will see that you get to the correct person and
or committee to help get your question answered.

Scribner Promotions For Immediate Release 5/7/09
Prelude to the 2009 IKF Grand Nationals at Desert Park
Raceway (DPR) in Reno Nevada. As the 2009 racing season
moves into the summer, one Kart race on the West Coast
stands out for the Karters vying to win a National Sanctioned
Karting Event. The IKF 2 Cycle Sprint Grand Nationals. The
IKF Duffy, the Screaming Eagle and the opportunity of being
elevated to the most prestigious title in Kart racing, a Grand
National Champion! It is expected that several competitors
will win their second Duffy and forever be known as an IKF
Expert, the title given to those who have captured two IKF
Grand National Championships.
In 2009, the IKF 2 Cycle Sprint Grand Nationals will take
place at DPR, home of the Northern Nevada Kart Club
(NNKC) in Reno Nevada. The 9 turn high paced Karting
facility gives host to possibly the most action packed racing
on the West Coast. Beginning on the 540 foot front straight,
the racers drive uphill into the early apex turn 1-2 combo
making a full 180 degree sweep toward turn 3. The 3rd
turn provides a hard braking zone while carrying a high
corner speed. Then drive down the hill through turn 4
to the highest point on the track, turn 5. Turn five is the
trademark of DPR as it provides a hard braking zone into a
hard 90 degree left hander dropping you off the top of hill.
One miss of turn five and the kart shoots off into the sand.
Next a slight downhill set of esses leading you into the turn
six sweeper. This sweeper is important as it leads the racers
uphill to another sweeper and back down the hill where
drivers must navigate their way through turns 8 and 9 Tic
Tac Toe leading onto the front straight. Draft is a big deal at
DPR as well as the ability to run as tall a gear as possible.
Passing usually takes place everywhere at DPR, but the last
pass usually happens at the last turn. The .669 of a mile
track is sure to impress with the delivery of great racing and
awarding those “the Duffy” who earned it.
Not only is the Track and Facility top of the line for Kart
Racing, the Club lends itself to the satisfaction of the racers
by providing a welcome atmosphere at the track, and in
the exciting town of Reno, Nv. This year for 2009, NNKC is
going the extra mile for the Grand Nationals. Setting up a
hospitality area under tents with Air Conditioning for the
competitors to take a break, sit down and enjoy the video
of the racing action and enjoying a cold beverage. For the
hard working dads there will be a massage tent to relieve
stress during the National event. Every day the races will be
heard live via Podcast, as well as the videos of the races will
be seen via Internet following the races that evening. Away
from the track there has been special Hotel rates setup for the
competitors at the Grand Sierra Resort and John Ascuaga’s
Nugget Hotel. Both hotels offer great discounts on events put
on by BaddBoyz Racing and Tux and Tails Travel. Monday
Night will give host to Kids Night at the Movies. The Night
supervised will allow the Parents to enjoy a Night on the
Town in the Reno Lights. Tuesday night the Grand Sierra
will give host to a Driver vs. Mechanic Challenge. Equally
prepared "provided" Go-Karts will give the Mechanics and
Drivers a chance to show whose boss in a Kart. Following
the Kart race will be a Powder Puff Race for all the hard
working women.
Thursday Night will be Bowling Night at the Grand Sierra
Resort as well. Hotel deadline is near for group rates! RSVP
soon or you will be paying full price, don’t forget to send
your confirmation number to [email protected] for
the gift basket drawing. Also, Molecule Labs will be giving
away a free small size cleaning kit to each registered driver.
This Year the 2009 Grand Nationals has a full package
planned for the Event. Starting with Discounts on Hotels,
Special Events, Live Podcast, Internet Video of the races, Oh
yeah, and Great Racing as well. More information to come
as the 2009 IKF Grand Nationals draws near; the event
draws larger than ever!

Name: Tyler Josh-Anthony Mann
Age: 19
Hometown: Cibolo, Texas
How long have you been racing? 12
How are you involved in IKF? Driver
What clubs do you compete with?
Southwest Road Racing Association
(SWRA) and Hill Country Kart Club
(HCKC) the two best orginizations in the
country.
What division of karting and which region
do you compete in? 125 Stock Moto, 125
Modified, TaG Light (Rotax), TaG Heavy
(Rotax), Rotax Max; Road Race Region 4B
Do you have any sponsors or people you
want to thank for their support? M.I.P.,
Image Solutions, Mann Motorsports.com
How did you get your start in karting?
With "Old Greenie", a broken down yard
kart that my dad and a neighbor worked
on to get running for the neighborhood
kids to ride. A few weeks later my dad
purchased a purpose built race kart and
the rest is 12 years of history
What is your most memorable Karting
moment? I have lots of great memories, but
I would have to say the best is winning the
Texas “Race of Champions” in 2007 after
breaking a throttle cable on lap three.
Do you have any other family members
that also race? Not anymore. My dad
pack rather than run away from two or
three guys.
What do you think needs the most
improvement? Hands down, cooperation
If we came out to your house for the
weekend, what would we go do? First, you
between the different regions of IKF. That
way we could have a true national race
would help me clean my room. Then we
would drive down to the beach or chill at
the pool.
If you won a million dollars today, and had
to spend it in 24 hours what would you
spend it on? Pay off my college tuition,
16. If you could choose someone to be on
the cover of Karter News, who would you
choose and why? If not myself, I would
build a nice kart track close to home, and
then maybe buy a nice car.
say Danny Howie. He is my best friend
and one of the best road racers I know.
Who is your biggest competition? Mike
Jones or Nick Lucido for sure. Both very
classy drivers.
Who inspires you, or is a mentor to you?
I’d have to say Alex Zana rdi. After reading
his book, it is not hard to see how much of a
hero and inspiration he is.
What do you like most about karting?
The competitive nature. I would rather
finish a close second or third in a large
If you got to have 5 minutes to talk to the
IKF Board of Directors on any subject,
what would you talk to them about?
Legalizing bump drafting. If the Sprint
Cup guys can do it at 200+ mph, I think we
can too. Hopefully it would be a nice talk.
Is there anything else you would like
to tell us? I would just like to take this
opportunity once again to thank my
sponsors. Med-I-Pant, Image Solutions,
Mann Motorsports, Italian Motors for all
the tech support we can handle, and last
but certainly not least, John Sefcik from
SRS Racing Engines.
