time is the official track time.

placement instructions after 2 laps should result in the violator being placed to the rear or disqualified from the race.

stop in turn 4 and shut their motors off. All uninjured drivers will proceed to the infield immediately. Drivers who do not
proceed to the infield (other than those injured) or perform maintenance on their karts will be disqualified from that race.

507 Added Scoring protests shall be submitted in writing to the race director no later than 20 minutes following the disputed
race.
507 Added Engine/Mechanical protests must
be accompanied by a $50 fee payable to the driver being protested. This fee is to cover the cost of the rebuild. If the component
being protested is found to be legal, the Driver will keep the $50.00. If the component is found to be illegal then the fee
will be refunded to the protester, and all points for the race event
for that driver will be listed as DQ (zero points). Any refusal to comply with above inspection will also result in a DQ for
the race event and the appropriate action will be taken with the offender. All components
being protested should be tech inspected within six hours of the protest, or other arrangements made.
601 Added This is the primary method of fuel tech at Kart KanyonSpeedway. All karts are subject to
fuel check at any time. If the Digitron Gasoline Meter being used by the Fuel Technical Inspector registers a competitor’s
