PILL DRAW- In order to have all line-ups ready Thursday morning at 8:00am. Your pill will be randomly drawn when your entry fee is paid. (Your draw number will line up your heat races and also break any ties.) KARTS- The karts are mechanical machines and do break down with no warning. Therefore, we will not be responsible for not having a full fleet of karts that are equally matched. We will do our very best to keep our karts maintained and matched the best we can. If a kart breaks during a race (After the green flag flies), you will lose your position and not finish the race. (Just like the real thing) You will be considered to have finished in the last position for that race. PROFANITY - is unacceptable. If you use profanity towards anyone, you will forfeit all points. Remember, this is a family establishment. FIGHTING- There will be none. If you can not race for fun in concession karts then this is not the race to sign up for. You will be done for the entire races, period. BUMPING- Any driver intentionally bumping other drivers or guard rails will result in loss of points for that race. RACING- Officials will let you race, rubbing and racing is a fine line they will make the call. The officials word is final. SAFETY- The number one goal is always safety. If we stop the race because of a safety issue everyone will get their place back. If there is a safety issue with a kart we will put you in another kart and you will get your place back. LENGTH OF RACE - In order to be fair in the amount of time each race gets you will get a number of laps or a time limit, whichever is reached first will end the race in the position that you are in. (It is possible for a race not to race one lap if there are many yellow flags on the start of that race.) One lap is about 12 seconds. PENALTIES - Any person who takes his/her safety belts off while on the track is disqualified from that race. Any driver who gets out of the kart in the pits before everyone is in and stopped will lose points for that race. Officials will do their best but they are human we make mistakes. But the officials word is final. Officials cannot see everything they will do their best, and once again the officials word is final. TRACK RULES- TRACK SAFETY RULES must still be obeyed at all times. NO BLOCKING STARTS- You will get two attempts at a side by side start. Then the start will be a single file restart with the orange cone. KNOXVILLE WHITE LINE- No passing is allowed on the start until you pass the white line in turn 4. Front row must stay side by side until the white line. YELLOW FLAG RESTARTS- When restarting after a yellow, red flag or 2 failed start attempts, you must go above the orange cone before passing or you will be sent to the back of the race, twice and you are done for that race. When lining up after a yellow the officials will go back to the last completed recorded lap and line up single file. LAPS/TIME- Your time on the clock will start when the last kart is out of the pits. BLACK FLAG- On most occasions the officials will give you a pointed black flag the first time depending on the severity of the incident. If you get the black flag, pull into the pits and wait for an official. You will be scored as last in the race. SPIN-OUTS- 3 all alone spin outs that cause a yellow flag and you are done for that race. If you cause an intentional spin out and the officials see it, you will be sent to the back and the person will get their spot back in the restart. The official's word is final. If you break any of the rules, all your points may be forfeited.
