Latest News
From the Graham Clarke, the Scrutineer 29th June 2009
New rule for 2009, Wet weather tyres, page 362 of the Blue Book the rear tyres must be outside the side pods as shown, this does not apply to TKM's as long as the side pod as an enclosed rear end. To prevent tyre deflation caused by the excessive amount of loose stone etc on the new circuit it is reccomended that all wheels should be fitted with PLASTIC valve caps. Scrutineering cards will be required for each kart class entered, these are on the download page to print and fill in to take with you on the day.
The Championship WILL start on the 5th July and we have added further dates into November so that we can still hold a ten round championship, we have yet to find a date suitable for the tenth round that does not clash with Andreas Racing. Please check that your entries, we have moved all the entries that had been submitted on the original Round 1 to the new Round 1 dates. The Presentation will now be held in January 2010.
New Timetable: 5th & 19th July, 16th August, 6th & 27th September, 11th & 25th October, 8th & 22nd November with one further date to add which will probably be a back to back race meeting.
Once again our sincere apologises but we felt that we should complete all the necessary works now rather than have to make changes once the Championships have started.
Next year we will start the Championships in March and we are looking at Trophy Meetings later in the year with the possibility of an Endurance meetings.
If anyone has an enquires on the above let me know by dropping an e-mail to me
The scrutineering building is now complete, just the installation of the permanent scales, and some tarmacing inside to do.
As for Private hire of the venue prices have been decided, and these will be posted on the site once they have been drafted & verified, in the meantime contact Liz Johnson for private hire.
The picture below was taken on Friday 5th June 2009 showing the new scrutineering building in construction.
If any members would like to discuss any points about either the new track build, or would like to participate in helping with anything that the club does, feel free to drop me an e-mail, you don't have to be a committee member to provide your services, we are all ways looking for people with skills or trades that could benefit the club. I'm looking for someone who has some IT skills to help with the timing system, but it does require spending the racing day in the race control office.
Richard Messenger the ARKs Examiner has asked that anyone wishing to do their ARKS test should contact him as soon as possible so he can arrange date(s) and time(s) accordingly. This applies whether you have contacted Richard before or not. If possible, he would like to do the groundwork talk and the written test before going to Jurby for the track test, this may save some time as the track is not yet available for use. Contact Richard on 629971 or email him at slikrik@advsys.co.uk but if you email, please include your contact telephone numbers".
Please be aware that the circuit is an asset to the club, and that there is to be no access to the airfield, or surrounding areas of our circuit by club members, we must abide by this to keep our circuit, any member found breaching this rule will be severely reprimanded by the club.
