THE RACERS SPOKE AND WE LISTENED
NEW REGION 7 ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE REST OF THE 2010 SERIES

We tried the pilot tire control program in KPV-1 class at Round One and it was well received so we decided to add a few more classes to the program. They will be as follows:

1. Jr. 1 Saturday --------------- Rookie Sportsman Sunday
(Please note Jr. 1 and Rookie Sportsman have switched days)
2. Kid Kart Saturday ---------- Kid Kart Sunday
3. KPV-1 Saturday --------------KPV-1 Sunday
4. KPV-2 Saturday --------------KPV-2 Sunday
5. Jr. 2 PRD TaG Saturday --- Jr.2 PRD TaG Sunday

Saturday you are permitted to run new or used tires but Sunday you are required to run used (previously raced on) tires only. If the previously raced on tires are NOT from the prior Saturday race then they will need to be approved by the post tech official. NO SCUFFED or PRACTICE tires are allowed. They must have a minimum of one race on them to be allowed on Sunday. All other rules set by the Pilot program posted on the IKF website dated 12-17-2009 will pertain.

The intent of this change is to reduce the cost to our competitors and still maintain equality of competition. Any attempt to abuse this program will be subject to suspension.

This rule change will be in effect for round two at Phoenix Kart Club www.pkra.com February 12th, 13th, and 14th. All other information can be found at www.ikfkarting.com.

See you in Phoenix

NEW Region 7 announcements for 2010

PILOT PROGRAM FOR TIRE CONTROL IN HPV1 CLASSES:

For 2010 Region Seven will institute a pilot program for tire control in HPV 1 classes.  Sunday classes will be required to qualify on used tires marked from a previous Region Seven race.  Lightly scuffed tires are not acceptable. Saturday tires or tires from a previous Region 7 race weekend can be used. No one will be allowed to qualify without meeting this criteria.  We may require tires to be used to have additional marking to meet the requirement.  Additional testing will take place.
Sunday only competitors will be supplied with previously used tires by the race officials.
The intent of this change is to reduce costs to our competitors and still maintain equality of competition.  Any attempt to abuse this program will be subject to suspension.

KID KART FUEL:

Fuel will be supplied for Kid Karts when qualifying and racing, it will be $10.00 per race day, payable at Registration. Track and tech workers will oversee the process.

2010 IKF Region 7 Bridgestone Championship Series Bulletin

2010 I.K.F. REGION 7
BRIDGESTONE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
BULLETIN

I take this opportunity to congratulate everyone who had the courage and ability to compete in the I.K.F. Region 7 in 2009.  I have personally taken race teams all over the world and the level and depth of competition in Region 7 is only eclipsed by the World Championships.  Clearly there are series all over the U.S.A. that tout “they are the best” but the fact is, if you can run top 5 in Region 7 you can win anywhere!  I think it’s about time we challenge the rest of the country to step up and race with us if they really want to know how good (or not) they are!

The 2010 Regional program consists of two (2), five (5) race series.  The “Winter/Spring Series” runs from January through May and the “Summer/Fall Series” runs from June through November, skipping July.  Each series will have one drop, its own champion and a shared banquet.
