Pit:

• All drivers must make a mandatory 7 minute pit. Pit stop will be determined and regulated via transponder timing. Each team is required to monitor their own 7 minute pit time. The kart teams are permitted to change anything during the stop. The only exception is that weight can only be removed for split teams but never added. (ie: the light driver must start the race).

Track Entry:

• Drivers on track will not be permitted to cross the track entry blend line to ensure save track entry. Entry will be controlled by officials.

Officiating:

• All regularly driving standards apply as per ASN Canada and HRKC Supplementary book.

HRKC hopes to see everyone there for an exciting end of season event!
