All initial starts are controlled by the flagman. Do not “go” until the flagman has displayed the
green flag.
Revving the engine while holding the brake is NOT allowed. Violators will be sent to the rear of
the field.
Restarts will be a rolling start, single file, nose to tail on or before the main straightaway.
The then current leader has the option to start the race in a pre-determined area. That area
will be defined in the driver’s meeting.
Jumping the start will result in a “false-start” with a penalty being assessed to the offending
driver.
If a caution (yellow flag) is displayed for any reason during the first lap, there will be a
completely new start, this may be a gridded start or a rolling single file start. All drivers will
again start in the original positions unless a penalty has been assessed to any driver(s).
When a caution flag is displayed for a spin, etc., the marshals will point to the race leader and
notify him he is in the first position. The leader must maintain a slow pace to allow the rest of
the field to catch up. Once the line-up is correct the green flag will be displayed at the restart
point. If incident was only one driver or any of the drivers are lagging behind, the race may be
restarted when the leader gets to the restart point. If needed the field may be stopped with
the red flag and the line-up set for the restart. Once the line-up is set, the yellow flag will be
displayed and the drivers will proceed at “caution” pace until the green flag is displayed for the
restart. All drivers should be ready to restart anytime they are approaching the restart area.
No passing under yellow or red flag conditions.
All passing should be completed with NO or minimal contact. This is the responsibility of the
passing driver AND the driver being passed.
The passing driver has to get his front bumper even with the front tire of the kart he is
passing prior to the turn in point for any turn to “have the line”. If the passing driver has NOT
gotten to that point on the kart he is attempting to pass he does NOT “have the line” and
must give the line to the driver in front of him.
The driver being passed must give the passing driver a lane to race in, if the passing driver
has gotten to the point of “having the line”. He does NOT have to give the passing driver the
position.
The passing driver also has to give a full lane to the driver he is passing until he has
COMPLETELY cleared that kart
If either driver forces the other into the barriers then the forcing driver may be penalized.
“Punting” another driver out of position is not a “fair” pass and the passing driver may be
penalized.
If any driver “turns down” onto another driver while side by side it will be considered a “pinch”
and the offending driver may be penalized.
Any driver who completes a pass that is not a fair pass will be given the opportunity to give
the spot back before the penalty is assessed.
If any driver “turns down” onto another driver at the rear half of the kart causing a spin to the
outside, that driver will be black flagged, disqualified, and removed from the race. There is NO
warning for this!
If any action occurs that results in a spin out or crash, the driver who, in the marshal’s
opinion, was the cause of the incident, will be sent to the rear of the field for the restart. If the
cause of the incident is not apparent to the marshals, then all drivers involved will be sent to
the rear of the field in the order they were running in the previous lap prior to the incident.

Drivers who stop behind the incident will NOT be penalized.
The lineup for the restart will be determined by the last completed green flag lap, except a
lead change if it was recognized by the marshals prior to the caution.
If a race ends while under yellow or red flag conditions, the official finishing order will be that
which would have been the order for the restart following the yellow or red flag condition.
Blocking a pass by moving off line to defend will not be permitted.
Bumping or ramming into other karts or the barriers is not permitted.
“Brake Checking” will not be permitted.
Blue flags will not be used during competitive events except when the leader is lapping
another driver.
Ignoring any flag will result in a penalty at the marshal’s discretion.
All drivers must wear appropriate attire; closed toe shoes, no loose clothing, no offensive or
objectionable attire, long hair must be secured under the collar
