​
This Class was created for the low budget racer. With a lot of tampering with engines has been going on we felt it was in the racers best interest to start a class where everyone would be on an “LEVEL” playing ground and one competitor did not have to worry about someone “going farther” with engine tampering.
If you are interested in running this class please make sure you let us know so we can sign you up. It is mandatory that HKC purchase the engines for you. This eliminates the racer from tampering before the seals goes on. HKC would purchase a BRAND NEW STOCK ENGINE from HARBOR FREIGHT and have it sealed with steel cable seals with serial numbers attached. These Serial numbers would be input into a LOG BOOK with name, kart number and Seal serial numbers matched to the racers Engine.
Once the sealing process is complete we will schedule a date and for distribution of engines for the year.
We will ask that you go through pre-tech inspection on a weekly basis to ensure serial numbers match and no tampering of any kind was tried, on any of the steel seals. IF IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ANY SEAL WAS TAMPERED WITH, YOU WILL DQ’d AND THE ACTIONS ON THIS PAGE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. You will be marked down as having a pre-race tech inspection in order to compete. If you not complete the pre-tech you will be asked to complete this task before you hit the track surface.
HKC will also have 5-6 Sealed stock predator engines at the track in case of engine failure.
