Pre-race Safety Checklist...

Safety technical inspection is for driver and spectator safety. It will be completed by every kart that intends to enter the track. As a general rule, the kart must be safe and scoreable before being allowed on the track. NO KART IS ALLOWED ON THE TRACK UNTIL IT HAS PASSED SAFETY TECH INSPECTION.

1: Visual walk around.

2: Front spindle or rear axle must not protrude outside of wheel/tire line.

3: No rearview mirrors allowed.

4: Check for loose/poorly mounted body work.

5: All bolted on weights must be painted white with the kart’s number on each piece of weight.

6: All bolted on weights must be double-nutted or safety wired or pinned in place.

7: No weights may be mounted on nerf bars or rear bumper.

8: Floor pan must be intact and not allow driver extremities to contact the track’s surface.

9: Must have an oil catch can for the engine.

10: Header must extend beyond fuel tank, but not past rear bumper. Due to the configuration and possible contact with the driver, header insulation wrap is highly recommended on all Clone and Animal headers.

11: Inspect clear windshield if applicable. All Junior Sportsman Champ karts require a clear cutout with a windshield installed (min. 12"x12"). No open cut-outs allowed.

12: Check engine and fuel tank for tightness.

13: Check for proper chain guard and tightness. It must not allow the drivers arm access to the chain/clutch area.

14: Check all wheel connections for proper safety pinning.

15: Any steering, front-end geometry-adjustable bolts, or tie rod components must be safety wired or pinned. Double nutting is not allowed.

16: Check steering bolts for proper safety pinning. All bolts associated with steering column, shaft, tie rods, Heim joints, etc., must be safety wired or pinned.

17: Check proper brake pressure. Brake lines must be secured to the chassis to prevent brake lines from dragging on the track.

18: Check the throttle spring return action. Squeaking throttle mechanisms must be lubricated. Squeaking indicates resistance that may cause a throttle to stick open.

19: All brake bolts on caliper, rotor, and disc must be properly pinned to prevent loss of nut or bolt. All karts must have a Wolf Plate in karts that have the seats in a configuration that would allow injury to the driver if the seat struts fail.

20: Check for safety harness connection points. All safety harnesses bolts connecting the harness to the chassis must be double nutted or safety wired or pinned to prevent the loss of the nut and bolt and separation of harness from the chassis.

21: Champ kart arm restraints inspected (required for entry onto the track).

22: At least one header bolt must be safety wired to prevent the bolt from backing out. Header support brace is mandatory.

23: Paint required bolts as per tech requirements. These bolts are any bolt that may require the removal of the carburetor or cylinder head.

24: Mandatory helmet check for all classes. Helmets must be with the kart for inspection. On the track... helmets MUST be strapped correctly to prevent the helmet from coming off during an incident.

25: Transponder pouches only. Pouch must be installed no further forward than the lower portion of the steering shaft closest to the ground.

26: Each kart must have four numbers: Front, each side, and rear. Rear numbers must be at least three-and-a-half inches tall. Please use contrasting colors so the numbers are legible at a distance.

27: All fuel lines carrying fuel must be secured (zip ties) at all connection points to prevent accidental removal.
