2012 Club Championship Classes & Age Divisions
This
is the list of classes and weights that will be running in our Club Championship this year.
You
need to use the scales supplied by the promoter of the event to assess
your racing equipment. Leave yourself enough time in the morning on race
day to jump on the scales and ensure you are running correct weights.
PLEASE
BE AWARE that there are Weigh
Marshals at all meetings and they are under instructions to issue
a Penalty Notification to any driver who does not meet the required
weight. If for example, the class weight is 135kg, driver and kart
must read 135kg or heavier.
A
reading of 135kg does not warrant a Penalty Notification as you have
made the correct weight. If the scales read 134.8kg you have failed to
meet the correct weight and will be penalised. "It
wasn't underweight last week at a different track.." is not a valid
excuse.
