(f) The National Tribunal Registrar, if he/she considers that the complaint should be referred
59.
to a Disciplinary Tribunal, shall forward the material referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and
(b) hereof to the State Tribunal Registrar who in the opinion of the National Tribunal
Registrar is the most appropriate to consider and determine the matter.
Stewards Hearings:
7.19 The procedure for an Stewards' Hearing is set out in this Chapter. The Stewards are not a
Tribunal and Chapter 9 does not apply to them. Any necessary interviews by the Stewards of
the Meeting must be conducted outside the racetrack area. [Refer Rule 1.07 (hh)].
7.20 In the rest of this Chapter the person or body making the Complaint is called “the
Complainant”.
7.21 If the Complainant does not know what regulation is relevant, the Stewards must attempt to
find the relevant regulation.
7.22 The Stewards must, when all parties are present, tell the other parties which regulation is
believed to be relevant.
7.23 If the Stewards believe that a regulation is relevant which is different from that stated by the
Complainant, all parties must be advised.
7.24 The Complaint must then be dealt with on that basis. It is the intention of these Rules that a
person should not escape responsibility for a breach of these Rules because a Complaint is
wrongly framed.
7.25 When a Complaint is made, the Stewards must decide which persons may be materially
affected by the decision of the Complaint.
7.26 Those persons must then be invited to attend when the Complaint is dealt with.
7.27 A person need not be invited to attend if the only way in which that person may be affected is
by being advanced in position (without being placed).
7.28 An invitation to attend the hearing of a Complaint made at a race meeting may be made by
announcement on the public address system. However, the Stewards must ensure that a person
against who a complaint has been made is aware of the hearing, by personal contact if
necessary. Failure by the invitee to attend a hearing does not mean the complaint cannot be
dealt with.
7.29 Midget, Rookie and Junior competitors who attend the hearing of a Complaint must be
accompanied by a parent or guardian or other adult.
7.30 The young person may consult the adult, but the adult must not speak to the Stewards unless,
in the opinion of the Stewards, the young person will suffer serious prejudice unless the adult
is permitted to speak.
7.31 A person invited to attend the hearing of a Complaint may nominate another person to attend
as the representative of that person.
7.32 The Stewards may treat the nominee, in the absence from the hearing of the nominator, in all
respects as the nominator.
7.33 The nominator cannot complain of not being given an opportunity to speak or to exercise any
other right, if the nominee is given that right while the nominator is absent from the hearing.
7.34 A Complaint made at a race meeting must be dealt with as soon as possible.
7.35 At least two Stewards must deal with a Complaint made at a race meeting.
7.36 The Complainant must outline the facts on which the Complaint is based and to produce
evidence.
7.37 The other parties must then be asked what they have to say in support or in reply and to provide
any other relevant evidence.
7.38 The Stewards must decide whether a regulation has been broken and, if so, who has broken it.
60.
7.39 If it is decided that a regulation has been broken by a particular person, that person must be
asked whether there is anything that person wishes to say which will be relevant in determining
the appropriate penalty.
7.40 The Complainant must also be asked the same question.
7.41 The Stewards must decide whether the appropriate penalty is within the power of the Stewards
as set out in these Regulations.
7.42 Exclusion and Referral for Penalty
1. Fine (up to $1,000.00)
2. Revise finishing order
3. Revise grid position
4. Place / points penalty, loss of point for heat or exclusion from that section of the event
5. Loss of points for the day
6. Exclusion from event
7. Exclusion from meeting (and consider referral to SKC Tribunal)
8. Suspension (up to 6 months)
7.42.1 The Stewards must also advise the parties what penalty, if any, will be recommended to the
Tribunal, but advise that the Disciplinary Tribunal may vary the penalty.
7.43 In all other cases the Stewards must decide what is the appropriate penalty. Any penalty shall
be given in writing on the AKA official form.
7.44 If the Stewards do not make a decision which is favourable to the Complainant or if the
complaint is withdrawn, the fee for the complaint shall normally be forfeited.
7.45 Once a decision on a Complaint is made, all parties must be advised that they have a right of
appeal to an Appeal Tribunal. (Refer Rule 8.12 and 8.13 for vital conditions if an Appeal
involves engines/fuel/accessory or part).
61.

set out in the Notice of Appeal.
8.12 If a person appeals against a decision with respect to an offence committed against Rule 5.01

or suspension shall only take effect prior to the hearing of the Appeal in circumstances
outlined in rules 8.18 and rule 8.19

may be altered by consent of the parties to the Appeal.
8.22 If the appropriate Tribunal Registrar forms the view that a matter under Appeal involves complex
scientific or technical evidence, then that Registrar may request the Chairperson of the Tribunal to
conduct a telephone directions hearing. The Tribunal Chairperson has the power at a directions
hearing to direct the parties to exchange technical or scientific information by a date that shall not
be less than one week prior to the hearing, and may give directions concerning tests or other
matters, including directions for adjournments with a view to simplifying the matters in dispute.
Any material that is directed to be provided to any party to an Appeal and is subsequently not
provided as so directed shall not be admitted into evidence at the hearing unless all parties to the

statement of the legal argument to be raised must be received by the appropriate Tribunal
Registrar at least 7 days prior to the date set for the hearing. Failure to comply with this rule

publish the names of all the parties to the Appeal. Any person or body whose name is
published pursuant to this rule shall have no cause of action against the AKA or against any
person publishing such judgment.
8.30 If an Appeal is on the grounds that the procedure adopted at a Steward’s hearing or at a
Tribunal was not in accordance with these regulations, then the body hearing the Appeal
must determine whether the failure to follow the regulations was so serious that the decision
appealed against should not stand. If the body makes a determination that the decision cannot
stand, then that body shall re-hear the matter or refer it for re-hearing. Failure to follow
procedures will not result in dismissal of a complaint by an appeal body.
8.31 If an Appeal Tribunal or the AKAC forms the view that an Official has acted improperly, it
may:
(a) call upon that Official to state, after an adjournment if necessary, why he or she
should not be prohibited from acting as an Official for a period of time and
(b) after considering all relevant material presented to it, prohibit the Official from acting
as an Official or a particular Official for a stated period.
8.32 Appeals directed to the AMSAC are subject to the AMSAC’s own time limits and rules and
not those referred to in regulation 8.21 (d) (e) and (f).
8.33 Preamble
AKA APPEALS COURT
The Australian Karting Appeal Court (AKAC) is karting’s own Court of Appeal which shall
be chaired by a legally qualified person. The aim of AKAC is to provide a Court of Appeal
whereby appeals are available by way of right and not by way of leave as is the case with the
AMSAC. The intention is to be able to conduct appeal hearings where Appeals involve less
expense on the part of all parties and where Appeals can be heard more quickly than through
the AMSAC.
The right to seek leave to appeal to the AMSAC shall remain.
It is the intention of the AKAC to keep its processes as flexible as possible by, amongst other
things, encouraging Appeals to be by way of written submissions rather than in person, and
by conducting Appeals via telephone hook-up and if feasible via video-link.

CHAPTER 9 - TRIBUNAL PROCEDURE
9.01 The Machinery of Justice:

In the course of normal competition, whether it be as affecting an organiser, an official or a
participant, occasions arise from time to time which require adjudication of disputes, or the
just settlement of conflicting interests. Moreover, the discipline necessary in all organised
activity, and vital in motor sport are maintained by a system of law which involves the
enacting of Rules and Regulations, the appointment of officials to administer them and the
provision of machinery to impose penalties for breaches of them.
Provision has been made by the AKA for the discharge of all these functions. In accordance
with the Code, general laws applicable in Australia have been enacted and published, and
form the Rules embodied in this Manual. Further restrictions, in more particular detail, are
published from time to time in Supplementary Regulations and Agenda of individual events.
To police these rules and regulations, the AKA appoints from time to time individual
officials such as Stewards and Clerks of the Course and requires organisers to appoint others,
such as Scrutineers, Secretaries, Timekeepers and so on each with their duties and
responsibilities. The Stewards of the Meeting have by right (and others may have by special
delegation) certain powers to impose penalties and it follows that there should exist avenues
of appeal which may be followed by any persons penalised by them. Similarly, persons
against whom any action has been taken, though not of punitive nature, should have the
opportunity to lodge a complaint, except in certain special cases.
Lastly, those who commit offences against the Rules in circumstances unrelated to a meeting,
or of a kind which appears to merit penalties beyond the power of Stewards to inflict, are
liable to be charged with those offences. In such cases, they are entitled as of right to be
confronted by their accusers, to hear the evidence against them, to test that evidence and call
their own, and to be assured of impartial justice.
All these requirements and the need to provide avenues of appeal referred to above, have
resulted in the authorisation by the AKA, or affiliated State Karting Councils, to appoint
what are known as Tribunals.
9.02 The Duality of Tribunals:

Tribunals are of two kinds, viz.
(a) DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNALS: which are essentially minor courts, are set up to try
cases brought before them by the AKA, by way of charges against persons or groups
subject to AKA Disciplinary Tribunals and have two primary duties:
(i) to determine whether or not a charge heard is proved, and
(ii) if so, to impose the appropriate penalty.
(iii) To these may be added the right to make any recommendation to the AKA, that
may seem fitting and relevant.
(iv) A Disciplinary Tribunal may also have the responsibility of determining a
penalty, if the Stewards after conviction, determine that a penalty is warranted
which they are not authorised to impose. In that case, the written statement of
70.
the Stewards that the charge has been found proved shall be conclusive evidence
of that fact and so much of this chapter as applies to the proving of the case shall
not apply to that hearing.
(b) APPELLATE TRIBUNALS: which are appointed to hear pleas arising from decisions by:
(i) Officials of a Meeting, or
(ii) Disciplinary Tribunals.
Appellate Tribunals are obliged to confine their decisions to matters actually appealed,
though they are free also to make recommendations to the AKA, arising out of their
deliberations.
9.03 Stewards Hearing:

Stewards conducting a hearing at a race meeting are not a Tribunal under this Chapter.
9.04 Constitution of Tribunals:

Certain basic qualifications are required of any person acting in a judicial capacity. He/She
must not for instance, be involved personally or have any interest in the matter at issue,
he/she must have had no connection, other than as a spectator, with any meeting where the
matters arose; he/she must have had no prior contact with, or made any decision affecting the
matter at issue; he/she must be impartial and must take into account only the evidence
brought before him/her and he/she must act only in accordance with the body of law under
which he/she is appointed.
In Karting it is not always easy to find such persons. It is not desirable (in general terms) for
those who enact laws also to interpret them, and hence the voting national councillors of the
NKC are virtually stopped as judicial officials. It is not desirable for administrative officials
to act in a judicial capacity, especially in disciplinary tribunals, as frequently they are
involved in prosecuting charges and it is undesirable to appoint active organisers and
competitors to such positions primarily because of their potential or actual interests in events
or persons.
9.05 Conduct of Tribunals:

Location and Arrangement: A suitable room, with adequate space for the tribunals, the
parties and witnesses, and preferably in a neutral venue should be selected. The bench should
be at one end, flanked at right angles by tables for each party with a chair at least for
witnesses in front of the bench. Provisions may be made for the press, if the Tribunal permits
press reporting, and arrangements must be made to record the hearing in full, preferably on
tape.
A party or a witness may, subject to approval of the Tribunal, take part in the proceedings by
telephone conference.
1. Procedure at Disciplinary Tribunals:

Preamble: Failure to follow procedures will not result in dismissal of a complaint by a
disciplinary tribunal.
(a) The Chairman should announce the opening of the Tribunal, stating its authority, its
composition, and the purpose of its sitting. Leave may be granted for advocates to
represent the parties, and if so appearances are then taken. Representation by the
Legal Profession or Police Force is not permitted.
71.
(b) The accused is to be asked whether he/she objects to any member sitting if so, on what
grounds. If no objection is received, the case proceeds. If an objection is received, it
must be examined and may involve one or more member being declared ineligible to
sit. (If more than one member steps down as ineligible the hearing must be adjourned,
two being the minimum number acceptable on the bench). If the objections are not
considered valid, they may be overruled by the Tribunal, and the case will then
proceed. (In such case the objection must be noted and in due course included in the
transcript of the proceedings).
(c) The complaint or complaints shall then be read to the accused, either by a clerk of the
tribunal (if there is one) or by the Chairman and the accused will plead to each
complaint. If a plea of “guilty” is received, the proceedings in such case may be
shortened but the onus still lies on the prosecution to produce evidence in support of
such complaint. If a plea of “not guilty” is received, the case proceeds as follows:
(d) The prosecution proceeds first, and is normally required to adduce evidence of the
existence of a rule or regulation allegedly breached, and evidence of the breach.
(e) If a Tribunal believes that a regulation is relevant which is different from that stated
by the Complainant, all parties must be advised. The complaint must then be dealt
with on that basis, after adjournment, if that is necessary. It is the intention of these
regulations that a person should not escape responsibility for a breach of these
regulations because a complaint is wrongly framed.
(f) The defence may then lead evidence in rebuttal of the prosecution's case.
(g) The defence will then address the Tribunal, summarising the case for the accused.
(h) The prosecution will then address the Tribunal, summarising the case for the

of these bodies are an unsuccessful appellant.
(k) The Chairman will then declare the proceedings closed.
9.06 Witnesses and Examination:

Procedure: Witnesses are presumed to be speaking the truth. They may be examined by the
party calling them, and shall give evidence directly and/or by answers to questions. They may
not be “led” on examination by the advocate calling them, that is to say, they may not be
asked questions generally which put words into their mouths, though this is relaxed
somewhat for formal identification, etc.
On cross-examination this does not apply.
Questioning may take the form of “leading” or suggestions, and opposing counsel is entitled
to test the credibility of the other side's witnesses. Re-examination, i.e. questioning by the
witnesses' own side, is usually confined to clarification of matters raised in cross-
examination.
9.07 The Nature of Evidence:

Direct evidence is usually the oral evidence of a witness (though it may include documentary
evidence as below), and is given by some person who himself saw or heard or otherwise
perceived the fact or facts to which he/she testifies.
“Hearsay” evidence (i.e. evidence that the witness was told something) is not valid evidence
of the thing itself, and is usually inadmissible as such. A witness may have been told this; it
is no evidence that the kart did go over the fence.
“Opinion” is not in itself generally admissible. An exception is when a person is accepted by
the Tribunal as an “expert” in respect of the particular matter at issue. For example, any
engineer or a doctor or even a noted driver may qualify or be stipulated as an expert in his/her
73.
particular field, and hence give expert opinion as evidence. He/She will, however, be subject
to cross-examination in such areas of evidence and his/her evidence will be evaluated, not by
other experts in his/her field necessarily but by the Tribunal.
Opinions expressed by witnesses other than experts are valueless as evidence of the matter
at issue, though they may be illuminating as to the credibility of the witness. They are
inadmissible. Documents may be tabled in evidence; in such case, they must be proved as to
their source, validity, relevance, etc. and to do so it may be necessary to call direct evidence
(eg. an official letter from a company, a parts manual, etc.) Things may be submitted as
evidence, to speak for themselves, as for instance a cylinder head in question. Other evidence
is usually required to prove the authenticity or relevance of such “real” evidence.
Circumstantial evidence, the fact of the existence of a number of situations or occurrences
or circumstances may be put in. It may be cogent (a man seen running from the otherwise
deserted scene of an offence at the time it was committed) or it may be valueless but it is
admissible.
It is not permitted to introduce, prior to conviction, any evidence relating to other
convictions. However, should a person be found guilty of a charge, the fact of his/her earlier
breaches of the Rules may relevantly be pressed in pleas as to penalty. They must be
established, mere suspicion only of these is inadmissible unless, of course, admissions have
been made by the accused person. Similarly it is forbidden to introduce material in addresses
that could have been and should have been produced in evidence. Failure to give evidence is
not in itself an admission of guilt, but it may give rise to certain conclusions by reasonable
men; the innocent usually in human experience assert their innocence, and failure to do so
while subject to examination is rightly capable of being interpreted as an admission of guilt.
Judicial Notice. Certain facts need not be proved by evidence in respect of AKA Tribunals.
The general authority of the Tribunal to sit is assumed, if stated (subject to objections as to
its individual members) the booklet entitled “Australian Karting Association Manual” is
taken to be an official AKA publication, and the Rules and Regulations included therein
together with any amendments notified by the National Secretary to all State Secretaries to
be the National Competition Rules and Regulations applying to the hearing. Persons acting
as officials of a meeting are assumed to have been properly appointed, though if called as
witnesses they usually assert the same to be so, the AKA are by statute entitled to intervene
in any Tribunals, whether or not an opposing party; the meaning of the English language is
presumed to be as understood by ordinary men, and so on. There would be no end to
litigation if everything had to be proved.
Tribunals also take judicial notice of decisions handed down by the AMSAC.
9.08 Degree of Proof:

In civil cases (such as AKA affairs usually are), the degree of proof is usually required only
to be by the preponderance of evidence - they are settled on the balance of probability, i.e.
what seems most likely from the evidence. Although some social or sporting stigma may
accrue to persons found guilty of a charge under the Rules of a sporting body, it is not usually
sufficient to justify the necessity of proof “beyond reasonable doubt”, though such a case
could arise.
9.09 General Conduct:

Though AKA Tribunals do not have either the status or the authority of Courts of Law,
though witnesses can neither be compelled to attend or give evidence, and though many of
74.
the parties and the Tribunal members are known to each other more or less well, there can
be no justification for informality prevailing at hearings of Tribunals (other than in isolated
instances of natural humour).
Formality, the maintenance of form, is a means of ensuing that (a), all the things that ought
to be done are in fact done in an orderly manner and (b) that nothing that should not be done
is done. An added effect is that of natural gravity, the ceremony associated with formality
always lending to proceedings the appropriate air of seriousness.
Informal proceedings may achieve a just end, but they seldom appear to do so. The Tribunal
in such looses stature and authority and the law itself becomes, or may become, an object of
contempt. The use of first names, the relaxing of basic rules of evidence, lapses from
decorum, the permissibility granted to interjectors, the acceptance of casual or intemperate
behaviours - these add nothing to the tribunal’s stature and take much away from its purposes.
The conduct of any Tribunal is a question for the Chairman himself, and it is to the advantage
of all if he/she insists upon the above guidelines being followed.
9.10
(a) A State Tribunal Registrar, upon receipt of the material referred to in sub-paragraphs
(a) and (b) of Regulation 7.18 relating to a complaint against an official, shall
formulate a notice of complaint directed to the respondent official setting forth full
particulars of the nature of the complaint. The State Tribunal Registrar shall also
forward a notice specifying the date, time and place for the hearing of the complaint
by a Disciplinary Tribunal and shall forward the notice of complaint together with
copies of the witness statements (if any) to the respondent official prior to the date
nominated for the hearing of the Disciplinary Tribunal.
(b) If the Disciplinary Tribunal after considering all the evidence presented both by and
against the official is of the opinion the official has breached any regulation or rule
shall make a finding in that regard and in that case shall be entitled to impose a
penalty of suspension on that official from the performance of any duties of an
official for such period as the Disciplinary Tribunal considers warranted and
irrespective of the provisions of regulation 6.03 to the intent that the only penalty that
may be imposed on an official is the penalty of reprimand or suspension.
75.

period during which they remain unpaid.

CHAPTER 18 - NATIONAL CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTION
& SAFETY STANDARDS
The following are the regulations of the AKA for permanent bitumen and dirt surfaced Sprint Kart Tracks
in Australia. These regulations must be complied with for new circuits or major circuit alterations to an
existing circuit. The NKC, AKA Secretariat and the State Track Inspectors, reserve the right to vary these
requirements at any time, with issues of safety being paramount. Other additional requirements as required
by Local and State Governments and State Karting Councils may also be applied.
18.01 Definitions

boards, slippery floors, inadequate guardrails etc)? Is there any loose
iron or other projections liable to injure, or cause damage?
Weigh-In-Area An area set aside from the paddock and track for the assembly of karts at
the end of a race prior to being weighed. Access restrictions may apply.
18.02 Track Design

The shape of the track, both in plan and vertical profile, is not constrained by these regulations,
as it is dictated by certain variable factors, the types of competition for which the course is
intended, the character of the terrain, considerations of economics, aesthetics, tradition, etc.
However, the construction of the circuit must conform to any safety requirements, which may
be specified by the AKA. Those responsible for a circuit design must also ensure that the
prescriptions laid down by the Public Authorities are complied with and must obtain their
official approval.
18.03 Circuit Plan and Approval

to a fence or barrier will be ten (10) metres.
(a) Safety barriers and catch traps must be installed to prevent karts crossing in any area
where two sections of track are close to each other and/or there is a possibility that karts
may cross.
(b) Solid objects should be removed from the track area where possible. If this is not
possible, then suitable run off distance and protection is required. Any structure or solid
object of any type must have safety barriers and catch traps to protect competitors.
18.09 Safety Structures

1. Safety Barriers
Shall be designed to absorb the energy from impact with a kart and to rapidly decelerate
an out of control kart with minimum damage to both kart and driver.
(a) Construction
(i) Tyre Barriers
Barriers constructed of similar size automotive tyres securely bound in vertical
stacks and longitudinally in a manner that forms a continuous flexible structure.
Tyre barriers are constructed four tyres high, unless directed otherwise. With tyre
barriers it is imperative that the tyres are bound together with strapping or
synthetic rope or bolted or TEK screwed. Washers will be used each side of the
tyre wall. If TEK screws are used, a suitable “speed nut” must be fitted to the
thread end. Bolt or screw threads shall not protrude from the outside face of the
completed wall. The barriers are not attached to the ground so they can move
freely when hit by a kart. Tyres must be in good condition and no external metal
strapping is permitted.
(ii) Plastic Barrels
Plastic barrels may be used as a safety barrier around the track perimeter. They
cannot be used at flag points. They may be used in other locations at the discretion
of the State Track Inspector. The barrels must be parallel-sided plastic with
minimum size of 600mm diameter x 900mm high. The barrels will have holes
drilled in their bases to drain water. The barrels must be bolted together at the top
and bottom, in-groups of five barrels. The barrels on the end of each group of five
barrels must be filled with a maximum of 100mm of crushed stone as ballast.
Each group of five barrels must be tied to the adjoining group with synthetic rope.
They shall only be used in an upright position.
(iii) Alternatives – Safety barriers may be constructed of approved alternate material
provided they meet the same performance criteria as listed above.
(iv) Commercial – Current alternative commercial barriers approved are;
- Air fence kart inflatables
111.
- Air fence kart
(v) Separation – Safety barriers must be separated by a minimum of 300mm from
any solid object or other safety structure.
(vi) Facings Supply continuous belting face to safety barriers in the areas of frequent
impact. Minimum height to be 500mm, minimum thickness 5mm.
(vii) Fixings
- Rope shall be durable synthetic of a minimum 8mm diameter.
- TEK screws will be a minimum of 4mm diameter with 25mm diameter washers
each side of the fixing.

Safety barriers may be used in the following locations.
(i) For separation between sections of track.
(ii) In high speed run-off areas, as a line of defence before a safety fence.
(iii) For the protection of all trackside Officials posts, a double tyre barrier at right
angles to the track will be constructed three (3) tyres long by four (4) tyres high,
with a minimum height of 720mm with a 300mm separation all tyres to be bolted
together as per 18.09.1(a)(i). Traffic side of tyre barrier to be painted WHITE.
(iv) Where possible, safety barriers are to be a minimum of four (4) metres from the
edge of the track and have verge and catch track protection prior.
2. Catch Traps
Catch traps are an area of loose material designed to slow a kart, which has left the track
surface, before it impacts a safety barrier or fence.
(a) Construction
(i) Catch traps will consist of a bed of woodchips a minimum of two (2) metres wide
by 300mm deep and a minimum of 300mm above ground level at the leading
edge of the catch trap. The woodchip will be raked regularly to maintain a loose
consistency. OR
(ii) A bed of gravel a minimum of two metres wide by 250mm deep set down 150mm
into the existing surface level so as to produce a 100mm high leading edge. The
stone to be used shall be either round river stone or clean crushed stone of a single
size 5 – 10mm. On a regular basis, the surface of the trap is to be deeply raked up
into ridges approximately 100mm deep and 200mm apart. A correct prepared
gravel trap should be difficult to walk on.
(iii) If either material is not available, then a non-compatible material must be used.
Other materials may be used upon receipt of written approval from the AKA
National Office.
(iv) In high-speed run-off areas the width of the trap will be increased to 4 metres.
(v) The catch trap must be graded to the verge or track surface. If there is a negative
slope, this must not exceed 5% for a distance of 10 metres from the track edge; if
there is a positive slope, this must not exceed 10% for a distance of 10 metres
from the track edge, with a smooth transition from track to run-off area.

the groups form the final grid. The final grid positions are based upon the points gained
during the heats and pre-final with the karter with the lowest points to grid position 1, next
to grid position 2 and so on through the field.
d) Where an equal point’s situation exists for the final, the karter with the higher qualifying
position (1 being highest) will receive the higher starting grid position.

The results will show:

(a) All entrants in each Class together with their respective total points or finishing order and
also fastest qualifying time in each class.
(b) Promoters of National and State Championships shall furnish all State Secretaries with the
Results of all National and State Championships.
20a.16 Method of Racing

1. Undersubscribed Classes – Shall consist of 2 x timed qualifying sessions, three (3) heats,
pre-final and final. Finishing order of the final determines the positions in the
Championship class.
(a) Two (2) x four (4) minute minimum timed qualifying sessions (refer Rule 19:17)
(b) Heat one: Grid positions as per qualifying (Fastest time to grid one, and so on)
(c) Heat two: Grid positions as per qualifying (Fastest time to grid one, and so on)
(d) Heat three: Grid positions as per qualifying (Fastest time to grid one, and so on) Each
heat to be run over a distance of 7km minimum.
(e) One (1) pre-final. Lowest points from the three heats to grid one, and so on. Ties of
points from the heats will be decided by qualifying times. Minimum distance of pre-
final shall be 11km
(f) One (1) final of minimum 16km. The finishing order from the pre-final to grid one
and so on, non finishers in the pre-final will be gridded at the rear of the field in the
order of laps completed, then grid position from the pre-final.
(g) All competitors must register a qualifying time and compete in one heat to be eligible
for positions for the Pre Final and Final.
139.
2. Oversubscribed Classes: Shall consist of 2 x timed qualifying sessions, heats, pre-final
and final. Finishing order of the final determines the positions in the Championship class.
Due to track density, oversubscribed classes must be split into two groups for qualifying.
The two groups shall be determined by the race number of the entrant, being either odd or
even. For the first qualifying session, the odd numbers group shall be first. In the second
qualifying session, the even number group shall be first.
a) Two (2) X four (4) minute (minimum) timed qualifying sessions (refer Rule 19:17)
a) The driver who records the fastest time from either Group will be identified as the
pole sitter.
b) The driver who records the fastest time from the “other” Group, will be identified as
the second fastest time overall.
c) The driver who records the second fastest time from the pole sitter Group, will be
identified as the third fastest time overall.
d) The driver, who records the second fastest time from the “other” Group, will be
identified as the fourth fastest time overall.
e) This process of determining the ranking of driver’s times shall continue as per the
above method for the entire field.
All drivers recording a valid qualifying time will be split into groups A, B, C, & D etc based on the
above system. The number of groups is dependant upon the track density and number of entries.
EG. 33 – 48 entries = 3 groups, 49 – 64 entries = 4 groups etc.
Fastest to group A, second to group B, third to group C, fourth to group D, fifth to group A, sixth
to group B and so on until all qualifiers are allocated to a group. Each of the groups mentioned
above will race with the other groups, in other words, A with B, B with C, and A with C etc. At the
end of the heats, the drivers with the lowest points will progress to the finals. Each heat to be a
minimum of 7 km.
c. Pre Final of minimum 11km, consisting of the number of drivers as permitted by the
maximum track density, determined by the lowest points from the qualifying heats. Grid
positions will be determined by the heat scores with the lowest points to the front. Ties of
points from the heats will be decided by qualifying times.
d. Final of minimum of 16 km grided as per the finishing order of the Pre Final. Non-finishers
will be grided at the rear of the field in order of laps completed in the pre final. Finishing
order of the final determines the winning positions in each class.
e. All competitors must register a qualifying time and compete in one heat to be eligible for
positions for the Pre Final and Final.

CHAPTER 22 - FUEL / FUEL TESTING
Preamble: Fuels containing Ethanol are not allowed to be used.
22.01 Fuel Testing:

1. The digatron DT15 or DT47 series fuel testing kit will be the official preliminary fuel
testing method to be used by the AKA and the State Karting Councils.
Prior to any test conducted, competitors must acknowledge if they are using PULP
and Testers must ensure the digitron is not contaminated from any test on ELF fuels.
This applied vice versa.
2a Method (for competitors using PULP)
a) Rinse digitron in Fresh Premium Unleaded Fuel before use.
b) Set Digatron Meter to .000 in a sample of fresh Premium Unleaded Petrol.
c) Conduct test on competitor’s fuel either in the fuel tank or on a sample removed
from the fuel tank.
d) Should the first test fail, a second test to be conducted on a sample removed
from the competitor’s fuel tank. The temperature of the zero sample and the
competitor’s sample to be adjusted so that the temperature difference between
the two does not exceed 3 degree Celsius.
e) If the results from the second test from the Digatron DT14 AND OR DT47
Series Meter be less than zero or greater than +40 units then it will require a
sample to be taken for laboratory analysis.
2b Method (for competitors using ELF07)
a) Set Digatron Meter to .000 in a sample of fresh ELF07 fuel.
b) Conduct test on competitor’s fuel either in the fuel tank or on a sample removed
from the fuel tank.
c) Should the first test fail, a second test to be conducted on a sample removed
from the competitor’s fuel tank. The temperature of the zero sample and the
competitor’s sample to be adjusted so that the temperature difference between
the two does not exceed 3 degree Celsius.
d) If the results from the second test from the Digatron DT14 AND OR DT47
Series Meter be less than zero or greater than +40 units then it will require a
sample to be taken for laboratory analysis.
3. The AKA/SKC retains the option to use any other fuel testing method.
4. In the event of an Appeal against the above Fuel Testing procedure, fuel samples may
be tested by an independent laboratory, with the total cost to the Appellant.
22.02 Random Samples

Randomly selected competitor(s) may have a sample of their fuel or lubricant taken and
sealed for later laboratory analysis. If the fuel is found not to comply a complaint shall be
made to the State Tribunal Registrar by the Fuel Tester under Rule 7.06 and the competitor(s)
shall be subsequently charged with an offence under Rule 5.01(q). The cost of such testing
shall be borne by the promoting club or otherwise agreed.
143.
22.03 Fuel: For All Classes
1. Safety:
a) All participants in motor sport are reminded that fuel, oils, lubricants, and
coolants are highly specialised substances.
b) Participants must be aware that these agents may contain substances that are
extremely dangerous to one’s health if misused, inhaled or allowed to contact
human skin.
c) Some of the contents of these fuels, oils, and lubricants are suspected of having
the potential to cause cancer in rare instances.
d) The use of petrol as a general cleaning and washing agent is a common misuse
of a potentially dangerous substance.
2. Purpose of this article:
a) Is to ensure that the fuel used in Kart Racing is consistent with Premium
Unleaded Petrol, as this term is generally understood.
b) Petrol within the meaning of these regulations is one of the following:
i) Petrol and/or fuel of a kind recognised by the AKA as being on general and
genuine sale to the public in Australia.
ii) Petrol and/or fuel that has been approved by the AKA.
3. Permitted Fuels:

ii) Fuel that has been approved by the AKA (which also will conform to
government requirements).
b) Any petrol that appears to have been formulated in order to subvert the purpose
of this regulation will be deemed to be outside it.
c) In addition, the fuel must contain no substance, which is capable of exothermic
reaction in the absence of external oxygen.
d) Test methods for permitted fuels will be as recommended to the AKA from time
to time by the National Fuel Tester.
4. Additives & Engine Lubricants:
a) Only ambient air may be mixed with the fuel as an oxidant.
b) Only commercially available motor oil that does not contain a performance-
enhancing additive may be used. If requested a competitor must advise the
relevant officials which brand/type and ratio of oil he/she is using.
c) No substance other than oil as described in this rule may be added to petrol used
in competition.
5. Fuel Testing & Sampling:
a) The Digatron DT15 OR DT47 Series Fuel Testing Kits will be used to test fuel.

with class and racing number before leaving impound area.
5. The promoting club may issue only one set of tyres per driver per class.
6. Damaged or worn out tyres (by way of force majeure) must be reported to and be
inspected by the Chief Scrutineer prior to the kart leaving the grid/impound area,
replacement(s) will be at the competitors cost.
Drivers receiving a replacement(s) will be required to start at the rear of the grid in
their next competition, the only exceptions to this is a tyre with a manufacturing
defect (as approved by the tyre representative and/or the Chief Scrutineer) and/or the
competitor electing to use an approved used tyre.
7. In case of any “force majeure”, the promoting club will order in addition to the one

tyres are to be mounted and inflated to a similar pressure. In consultation with the tyre
supplier.
AKA Tyre Testing and Sampling Procedure

When checking tyres for tyre treatment using the Photo Ionisation Detector (PID) at the race meeting if
the PID shows a reading on a tyre allow the equipment to zero and check another site on that tyre by
leaving the snorkel just touching the tread surface for 2 seconds.
If you get a reading on the second site of the same tyre check all the other tyres on the Kart using the same
procedure. If all the other tyres do not show a reading, allow to race but check again through the meeting.
151.
When 2 tyres or all 4 show a similar reading for each tyre on the PID allow the kart to race the heat and
impound on completion of the heat even if the kart has a DNF.
When you get a reading on 2 or more tyres a rubber sample has to be sent away to the Gas
Chromatograph for the final verification of a substance or compound being introduced into the rubber
of the tyre. The rubber sample sent would then be compared against the standard tyre sample with a
graph overlay that will clearly indicate the presence of an introduced substance or compound in the tyre
sample.
This Gas Chromatograph testing procedure is the same as the fuel test so it is conclusive. If the sample
rubber does not compare with the standard sample this then is the final verification that the tyres have
had a substance or compound introduced to change the properties of the rubber in the tyre.
The rubber samples (2) should be taken from the same site on one tyre that showed the reading on the
PID eg if the two front tyres show a reading either one will do, if it is only the back two tyre that show
the reading take the samples from the one away from the motor, if it is one front and one rear on one
side take the samples from the one that is away from the motor. When all four tyres have a similar
reading take the samples from the rear tyre on the brake side.
Using a new or clean NT cutter, equivalent or scalpel that has been cleaned with a clean lint free cloth
or tissue cut a sliver of rubber about 10 mm long 5 mm wide and 0.5 deep from the tread surface taking
care not to cut deep into the tyre.
After cutting the sliver from the tread surface of the tyre cut the rubber sample into to equal parts. Being
very careful not to cut into the tyre then using tweezers or knife tip put the samples into the clean glass
vial with each sample having their own new glass vial and screw on the lid. Then seal in the plastic
bottle using the same bottles that are supplied for fuel samples. These are available for purchase from
National Office via State.
Once the sample bottles have been sealed using the sample method and paper work, as is used in fuel
samples, ask the competitor to choose one sample and inform him that the other sample will be sent to
the Gas Chromatograph for final verification of the presence of a substance or compound in the tyre
rubber.
When the report is received at State Office from the Gas Chromatograph testing and it is positive this
is then sent to the State Tribunal Register to handle.
152.
CHAPTER 24 – NOISE CONTROL
24.1 1. The AKA is of the opinion that control of noise is emerging as a major issue for motor
sport and that increased Government controls may be imposed on those motor sport
organisations and individuals that exceed the stated levels. The potential for noise
injuries to our Officials, Competitors and their crews must also be addressed and
minimised. Karting as a stand alone Sport can not allow an individual or club to
selfishly satisfy themselves to the detriment of the Sport now or in the future.
Competitors and those involved with Kart preparation are required to closely check all
fittings and fastenings associated with the control of noise on their Kart and to maintain
a vigilant and preventative stance to noise control
2. From 1st January 2003, the permitted noise emission level from a kart must not exceed
98 dBA when measured at a point 4 metres away with AKA vertical methods.
24.2 Permitted Noise Level:

At all events, tracks and venues licensed or approved by the AKA the permitted noise levels
are
1. At normal tracks the permitted noise levels, must not exceed 100DBA when measured
at a point 4 metres above the centre of the track (refer penalties rule 24.7)
2. Clubs may apply to the National Karting Council for an exemption to the AKA noise
regulations.
3. Supplementary Regulations may stipulate a lesser Noise Level for the complete
meeting or for any part or component as designated.
24.3 Noise Measuring:

1. At all race meetings an official must be nominated Judge of Fact (Noise Level) and
his/her name included in the regulations for the meeting.
2. The Stewards must ensure that the Organisers have the necessary noise measuring
devices in place and that they are in operation throughout the entirety of the race
meeting.
3. In order to assist competitors after each practice and qualifying session, drivers of karts
which record sound levels of 98 dBA to 100 dBA (using AKA vertical method) should
be advised by the officials.
4. Results of any Noise Measuring testing at a meeting, duly signed by the responsible
Official, are to be given only to the Clerk of Course or Stewards who will then take any
necessary action before clearing them for general distribution.
24.4 Noise Testing Equipment:

1. The Sound Level Meter tested and approved for the stipulated noise level tests is - Make
PCWI, Model 8921 and is available complete with microphone and cables through the
AKA. Any alternate or secondary unit must conform to the minimum requirements of
Australian Standards AS1259 part 1982 for Type 2 Meters.
2. Sound Level Measurements are to be made in accordance with the procedures in
Australian Standard AS2659.1 - 1988 “Guide to the Use of Sound Measuring
Equipment Part 1 Portable Sound Level Meters” using 'F' time weighting characteristic,
normal incidence microphone and 'A' weighting.
153.
3. The test positions are to be set by the State Track Inspector and should be sited;
(a) to measure karts when they are under maximum acceleration and are operating at
a minimum of 75% of their rev range
(b) to ensure that the maximum noise level emitted by a kart is measured
(c) to ensure minimum reflection from buildings / structures.
4. The microphone is to be located 4 metres (+/-0.1m) above the centre of the track and
to be aimed at the centre line of the track.
5. It is recommended that all sound meters utilise remote microphones. This is to permit
the sound meter and the operator to be located away from the microphone at a safer
distance from the track where they can be behind a safety barrier without affecting the
noise level at the microphone.
24.5 Supplementary Testing:

The Stewards or Clerk of Course may direct a competitor to submit his/her Kart to a noise
test at any time during a competition or race meeting. This is to enable the Officials to test
selected Karts at the end of a competition, race, heat, time trial or qualifying session should
it prove difficult to assess their levels during that activity. If such a test is to be done, the Kart
should be impounded and tested before any work can be carried out to the Kart. Competitors
must comply with any reasonable request from the Officials.
24.6 Noise Offences:

A driver whose Kart which emits noise in excess of the designated noise level at any time
shall be penalised. They may also be removed from the circuit and not permitted to resume
practice or racing until the Officials are satisfied that work has been carried out to rectify the
problem.
24.7 Penalties: The recommended penalties for noise offences are:

1. When measuring devices are used;
(a) Allowed level plus 1dBA; Penalty 1 point or 1 place penalty.
(b) Allowed level plus 2dBA; Penalty 2 points or 2 places penalty.
(c) Allowed level plus 3dBA; Penalty 4 Points or 4 places penalty.
(d) Allowed level plus 4dBA; Penalty 8 points or 8 places penalty.
(e) Allowed level plus 5dBA; Penalty 16 points or 16 places penalty.
(f) Allowed level plus 6dBA and over; Penalty of Exclusion from that race, heat,
practice session, qualifying session, time trial or similar
2. When measuring devices are not used; Reserved
3. Supplementary Regulations may provide for additional penalties.
24.8 Noise Safety:

1. Officials: Every Official or helper who is located close to the track should be issued
with ear protection. This can be either earmuff style or disposable foam plugs style.
2. Competitors: it is compulsory to wear ear plugs at all times when driving a kart.
3. Pit Area: (In / Out grids and Through grids). It is recommended that all personnel in the
pit area use ear protection.
4. Paddock Area: (Where the karts normally are between races). The starting of kart
engines in the Paddock area is prohibited.
154.
5. Starting of kart engines in the out grid is only permissible under the instruction of the
grid/pit marshal.
6. The promoting club in conjunction with the State Track Safety Inspector will designate
a safe area for the starting of kart engines. It is recommended all persons wear ear
protection in this area.
7. Spectators - As spectators are in most instances able to enter the Paddock and get very
close to the Pit areas, the AKA recommends that Clubs should post signs at all Pit /
Paddock entrances advising that ear protection is recommended past that point and
advising where ear protection is available.
8. The AKA recommends that Clubs have supplies of disposable ear plugs available at all
meetings.
24.9 Noise Emission: To assist in reducing Noise Emissions;

1. For all classes using the Yamaha KT100S Series Engine, it is compulsory that a system
is employed to reduce the vibration of the engine’s cooling fins. Shrouds wrapping
around air-cooled engine cylinder and cylinder head fins are not permissible.
2. For all other classes it is recommended that a system is employed to reduce the
vibration of the engine’s cooling fins.

FEATURE TOLERANCE (mm)

Overall length -0.00 to +0.05
Thread length -0.05 to +0.00
Bore -0.00 to +0.015
NOTE:
• It is the competitor’s responsibility to supply an engine (as raced) with a spark plug
thread in a condition that allows the easy fitment of a cc plug. Penalty, Non-
conforming engine.
• The CC Test Plug is available from your State Secretary.
26.02 General Tolerances

Unless otherwise specified, the following tolerances will apply to all dimensions and any
references to Maximum or Minimum mean the absolute dimension for that item.
Dimension <25mm 25 – 60mm >60mm

Machined Parts +/- 0.05mm +/- 0.15mm +/- 1.5mm
Non machined / raw or welded parts +/- 1.0mm +/- 1.5mm +/- 3.0mm
171.
26.03 Measuring Engines Controlled by Exhaust Port Timing
Insert a 0.2mm feeler gauge, which has been cut down to a point, into the uppermost point
of the exhaust port at the intersection of the port opening and the piston. This will give the
opening point of the exhaust port. Measure stroke from this point to TDC using a dial
indicator inserted through the spark plug hole. This measurement will give the minimum
piston travel that can be cross-referenced against the charts in the relevant section.
26.04 Port timing Check with AKA Piston Travel Gauges
Note: The PTG gauge is available from your State Secretary

Piston port engines (KT100S, KT100J, ARC SPEC 100 & ARC A1) will have PTG rods in
the future with 5 grooves AND Reed valve engines (Rotax MAX, Parilla Leopard & PRD
Fireball) will have PTG rods in the future with 4 grooves to allow the checking of the exhaust
transfer split. Currently these rods have only 4 & 3 grooves respectively. It will be necessary
to use the Ø5 mm AKA transfer port checking tool for this measurement
Step 1 Set Gauge

Screw the body unit of the Piston Travel Gauge into the spark plug hole and insert the rod
for the type of engine being checked.
Note: The rods are engraved on the head with S for KT100S & Formula Australia engines, J
for KT100J engines, R for Rotax Max, JM for JMA, L for Leopard, F for Fireball engines &
A for ARC A1 (inc. M1 & R1) engines.
Turn the engine in its direction of rotation till the conrod reaches its highest point of the
engine stroke TDC, adjust the head of the gauge body to line up with the bottom mark of the
rod.
Step 2 Check Stroke

Slowly turn the engine in its direction of rotation till the rod is at its lowest point BDC and
the top mark on the rod should line up with the head.
Step 3 Check Exhaust Duration

Place the 5 mm pin in the top of the exhaust port and slowly turn the engine in the direction
of rotation until the top of the piston touches the 5mm pin which is then “rolled” between the
top of the piston and exhaust port to find the highest point of the exhaust port. Using very
light pressure to hold the pin in place, the second top (or third from the top if the rod has 5
grooves for KT100S, KT100J, ARC Spec 100 & ARC A1 (inc. M1 & R1) engines and 4
grooves for Rotax MAX, JMA, Parilla Leopard & PRD Fireball engines) mark on the gauge
rod should not be showing or is in line with the head of the gauge body. If the line is above
the head of the gauge body, the engine does not conform.
Note: early model KT100S engines have one side of the Exhaust Port slightly higher that the
other.
Step 4 Check Exhaust/Inlet Port Split (Only applicable to KT100S, KT100J, ARC SPEC 100
& ARC A1 (inc. M1 & R1) engines)
Maintain the 5mm pin in the exhaust port, adjust the head of the gauge unit till it lines up
with the second mark then remove the pin from the exhaust port. Turn the engine to TDC
and insert the 5mm pin into the inlet port and turn engine slowly till piston comes in contact
172.
with 5mm pin which is to be “rolled” between the bottom of the inlet port and the piston skirt
to find the lowest position of the piston, the third line on the rod should be above the head
of the gauge body or in line. If it is below then the piston is to short and does not conform.
Step 5 Check exhaust/transfer port split when using a rod with 5 grooves (for rods for
KT100S, KT100J, ARC SPEC 100 & ARC A1 (inc. M1 & R1) engines) or 4 grooves (for
rods for Rotax MAX, JMA, Parilla Leopard & PRD Fireball engines).
After Step 3 (with the gauge body still set for the exhaust opening position), rotate the motor
to allow the Ø5 mm AKA transfer port checking tool to be inserted into one of the main
transfer ports. Bring the piston up to gently hold pressure on the tool at this point the second
mark must not be visible above the head of the gauge, repeat the process on the opposing
transfer port.
Step 6
If the engine fails the field test the competitor can request it is to be seal and sent to the State
Technical Officer for second and final verification of compliance using an analogue or
digital indicator as in R 26.04.1.
26.04.1 Piston Travel Compliance Check as conducted by a State Technical Officer.
Step 1 Set Gauge

Into the spark plug hole, screw the appropriate holder fitted with a digital or analogue dial
gauge or digital caliper. The crankshaft of the engine is turned to bring the piston up to TDC
and the gauge zeroed.
Step 2 Check Stroke

After the gauge is zeroed the crankshaft is turned to take the piston down to BDC to check
stroke.
The maximum allowable stroke is shown in the table below.
Step 3 Check Exhaust Duration

The crankshaft is turned til the dial gauge reads the appropriate “TDC to Exhaust opening”
dimension in the table below. If the 5 mm pin can be fitted between the top edge of the piston
and the top of the exhaust port at any point then the engine is deemed illegal.
Step 4 Check Inlet Duration

Re-zero the gauge with the piston holding the 5mm rod in the exhaust port with gentle
pressure on the crankshaft. Once the gauge has been re zeroed, the crankshaft can be rotated
until the dial gauge reads the appropriate “Exhaust open to inlet open” dimension in the table
below. If the 5 mm pin can be fitted between the lower edge of the piston and the bottom of
the inlet port at any point then the engine is deemed illegal.
Step 5. Check exhaust/transfer port split when using a rod with 5 grooves (for S & J rods)
or 4 grooves (for R & L rods).
After Step 4 (with the gauge still zeroed for the exhaust opening position), the crankshaft can
be rotated until the dial gauge reads the appropriate “Exhaust open to transfer open”
dimension in the table below. If the Ø5 mm AKA transfer port checking tool can be fitted
173.
between the top edge of the piston and the top of the any transfer port at any point then the
engine is deemed illegal.

From the moment the starter signals for the karts to be released, the drivers are under
“starters orders” and may not received any outside assistance for repairs or other adjustments
to their equipment while on the track.
From the moment the start procedure commences, race conditions apply. Wherever a kart is
on the track it is forbidden to receive any assistance, other than to remove the kart to a place
of safety.
A line will be painted 25 m before the start line and it is forbidden to accelerate before the
front row of the grid has crossed this line.
Karts will cover approximately one Formation Lap before the start may be given. It is
forbidden to overtake another driver under pain of a penalty inflicted by the stewards. If a
driver stops for any reason during the Formation Lap, he/she will not be allowed to try and
start again before he/she has been passed by the whole field. He/she shall start again from
the back of the formation. Should he/she try to start ahead of the field in the hope that the
leading drivers overtake him, he/she would be shown the black flag and be excluded from
that Race.
A driver who is delayed will have the possibility of regaining his/her grid position only if this
manoeuvre does not impede other drivers. In order to regain one’s position, it is forbidden to
use any course other than the track used during the Race.
If he/she considers that a driver has been immobilised as a result of another driver’s mistake,
the Clerk of Course may stop the Formation Lap and start again the Starting Procedure on
the basis of the original grid or allow the impeded driver to regain his/her position.
At the end of the formation lap drivers will approach the start line at slow speed and in two
lines. No lights will be on. No kart may accelerate before crossing the yellow line and before
the green light is turned on. If the starter is happy with the formation he/she will give the
start by switching on the green light. If he/she is not happy with the formation he/she will
switch on the orange light, which means another formation lap must be covered.
Article 24.2 - Rolling Start Procedure for Intercontinental A Junior
When the starter is ready the competitors will be released from the dummy grid in grid order.
From the time that the karts are released from the grid until the start is given, drivers are
under starter's orders and may receive no outside assistance other than the restarting of their
engine as authorised by an Official.
Karts will cover approximately one Formation Lap before the start may be given. It is
forbidden to overtake another driver under pain of a penalty inflicted by the stewards. If a
driver stops for any reason during the Formation Lap, he/she will not be allowed to try and
start again before he/she has been passed by the whole field. He/she shall start again from
287.
the back of the formation. Should he/she try to start ahead of the field in the hope that the
leading drivers overtake him, he/she would be shown the black flag and be excluded from
that Race.
A driver who is delayed will have the possibility of regaining his/her grid position only if this
manoeuvre does not impede other drivers. In order to regain one’s position, it is forbidden to
use any course other than the track used during the Race.
If he/she considers that a driver has been immobilised as a result of another driver’s mistake,
the Clerk of Course may stop the Formation Lap and start again the Starting Procedure on
the basis of the original grid or allow the impeded driver to regain his/her position.
The start will be a rolling start.
At the end of the Formation Lap drivers will go at a slow speed towards the start in two lines.
During this approach stage, no lights will be on and karts must keep a formation in two lines.
No kart shall accelerate before having crossed the yellow line and before the green light is
turned on. If the starter is happy with the formation he/she will give the start by switching
on the green light. If the Starter is not satisfied with the procedure, he/she will switch on the
orange light, which means that an extra Formation Lap must be covered. Should the engine
of a competitor stop during the Formation Lap, an official or a mechanic nominated to carry
out this task may restart him as soon as he/she has been passed by the entire field.
Article 25 - On Track Safety
Any obstructive manoeuvre carried out by one or several drivers, with or without common
interests, is prohibited.
The driver of any kart leaving the race shall signal his/her intention in good time and is
responsible for ensuring that the manoeuvre is carried out safely and as near as possible to
the point of exit.
It is forbidden to use any route other than the track used for the race to gain/regain a place.
Whilst practising or competing, karts shall not be driven other than on the defined track, in
the pits, and in such other areas as Supplementary Regulations may specify. The track is the
portion of the sealed surface between and including the white edge lines.
Should a driver be compelled to stop his/her kart, either involuntarily or for any other reason,
the kart shall be moved off the track as soon as practical so that its presence does not
constitute a danger or prevent the normal running of the race. If the driver is not able to move
the kart out of the potentially dangerous position, it is the duty of the officials to assist, but
only if this may be done without prejudice to their normal duties.
During practice sessions and the race, access from the track to the pits is allowed only
through the deceleration zone. Penalty for breach of this rule shall be exclusion from the
race, or the relevant practice session, and such other penalty as the stewards may apply.
In no circumstances may a vehicle travel in a direction opposite to that of the event.
Article 26 - Mechanical Breakdown Lane
Refer Rule 17.06. From the time the race ends (chequered flag is given to the lead kart) any
kart in the mechanical breakdown lane under going repairs has three minutes to restart and
cross the finish line, to be classified as a finisher.
288.
Article 27 - Restarting
Restarting of a kart is permitted during practice and racing. A driver should only attempt to restart
a kart if it can be done with safety and without unduly hindering other competitors. Any driver
not respecting this rule may be directed to remove his/her kart from the track to a place of safety.
Article 28 - Stopping the Race
It may be deemed necessary to stop the race due to an accident.
The procedure to be followed varies according to the number of laps completed by the race leader
before the signal to stop the race was given:
If less than 2 laps have been covered, the original start will be deemed null and void. A new start
will be given. For the restart, the grid used will be the one drawn up for the first start, with the
Drivers allowed to take the restart in their original grid positions. Unoccupied places on the grid
shall remain vacant.
If more than 2 laps but less than 75% of the distance scheduled for the race (rounded up to the
nearest whole number of laps), the race will be restarted. The length of the race will be the original
number of laps less the number already completed. Those Drivers having crossed the Finishing
Line at the end of the lap on which the race was stopped, and those who were in the mechanical
breakdown lane, when the red flag was shown will be eligible to take the restart, either in their
original kart or in their reserve kart. Grid positions will be determined by the finishing order of
at the end of the lap before the one on which the race was stopped.
If 75% or more of the race distance (rounded up to the nearest whole higher number of laps) is
completed the karts shall be sent directly to the Parc Ferme and the race will be deemed to have
finished when the leading kart crossed the Line at the end of the lap prior to that during which
the race was stopped.
Working on karts will be allowed only in the Parc Ferme; it will even also be allowed to introduce
spare equipment (only the equipment identified in the case of chassis and/or engines). Refuelling
will be allowed.
Article 29 - Finish
As soon as the chequered flag has been shown to a driver at the end of the race, he/she must
proceed directly, using only the authorised route, to the parc ferme. From the moment the driver
receives the chequered flag until he/she is released from parc ferme he/she is under parc ferme
conditions and must make no alteration or adjustments to his/her kart or other material or
equipment.
In the pre-final and final of the Australian Championships, any driver about to be lapped or who
has been lapped for any reason whatsoever as from the first lap onwards may be shown the blue
and red flag (double diagonal) with his/her number. He/she must go back to the scale in parc
ferme and will be classified according to the number of laps completed. Any driver who does not
obey the order given by the blue/red flag may be excluded from the event.
Article 30 - Qualifying Heats
Starting positions in the qualifying heats are awarded according to classification obtained in timed
practice. The maximum number of drivers to take part in the heats will be equal to one and a half
times the track density. Only the fastest drivers will be eligible to compete in qualifying heats. If
the number of entries is equal to or less than the track density then three heats will be run with all
the drivers to compete.
289.
Oversubscribed classes will be divided into three (3) near equal groups A, B, and C. The fastest
driver in timed practice will start in group A, the second fastest in group B, the third fastest in
group C, the forth fastest in group A, the fifth fastest in group B, the sixth fastest in group C and
so on.
Each of the three groups mentioned above will race with the other groups, in other words, A with
B, B with C, and A with C. Points for heats will be awarded as in Article 31.
At the end of the Qualifying Heats, the drivers with the lowest points will progress to the finals.
Article 31 - Point Score for Heats
Each heat will have a length of approximately 15 km for seniors and 10 km for juniors and points
for the heats will be awarded as follows:
1st place 0 points
2nd place 2 points
3rd place 3 points
and so on with 1 point being added for each place.
Any driver, who has not completed the full number of provided laps, even if he/she does not finish
the heat, will be classified according to the number of laps completed.
If a driver fails to make the start they will be awarded points equal to the number of entries in the
heat of that class.
If any driver is disqualified from a race they will be awarded points equal to the number of entries
in the heat of that class plus one.
At the end of the qualifying heats, the drivers with the lowest accumulated points will qualify for
the finals. In case of a tie in total points between two or more drivers, they will be ranked
according to the times set in timed practice. The maximum number of competitors to progress to
the pre-final and final will be equal to the track density.
Article 32 Non-competition
It is the spirit and intent of the competition that all races should be contested to the fullest. Where
a competitor is considered to have missed or retired from a race in an attempt to gain an
advantage, then they may be required to appear before the stewards for the appropriate action
and/or penalty.
Article 33 – Final 1 Final 2
The first and second Final will be conducted over a total distance of approximately 50km for
Formula A, Intercontinental A and Intercontinental C and 40 km for Intercontinental A Junior,
according to the following system.
Starting grid positions for the first final are according to the total number of points obtained by
the qualifiers in the elimination heats, with lowest total accumulated points to the front. In the
case of equal accumulated points, timed practice results will determine the outcome.
Any driver, who does not complete the full number of provided laps, even if he/she does not finish
the pre-final, will be classified according to the number of laps completed.
Starting grid positions for Final 2 will be determined according to the finishing position in the
first final.
Both finals shall be of equal length.
290.
Article 34 - Reserved
Article 35 - Results
The placings for each round, including the State Titles, will be determined by the placings
obtained in the final. Any driver who has not completed the full number of provided laps,
even if he/she does not finish the final, will be classified according to the number of laps
completed.
Trophies will be presented for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place getters at the completion of each round.

10. Not applicable to endurance karting and the Honda GX200 motor.
51.06 Steering
For endurance karting solid plastic/nylon tie rods with a minimum outside diameter of 20mm and
fitted with metal rose joint connectors are permitted.
51.07 Introduction
An endurance karting event is a speed event conducted on a circuit with a sealed surface usually
with a duration of not less than one hour.
292.
51.08 Endurance Racing Competition Regulations
1. Team Registration
All drivers/teams in an event are required to submit a completed Race Entry form for the team.
Teams may nominate a Team Name which may be a company, business or other name. This name
must not be offensive to the public or other competitors.
2. Licences
Seniors and Juniors are not to mix as per the AKA Manual
The minimum licence requirement for endurance racing is a Provisional C Grade Licence.
“P” Plate drivers are not to “start” the race in a mixed grade team. Full “P” team are to start at the
rear of field.
3. Required Number of Drivers

The minimum number of drivers that can be nominated for an event is as follows:
2 hours – Minimum 2 drivers
8 hours - Minimum 3 drivers
24 hours - Minimum 4 drivers
Once a race has commenced, there can be no change to the drivers nominated for that event. Cross
entering of drivers between teams is not permitted.
4. Driving Limit
No driver is permitted to drive for more than 60 minutes without a driver change. A minimum
break of at least 20 minutes should be taken in between driving stints. Penalty for infringement:
Computer lap penalty of 5 laps.
5. Compulsory Pit Stops

The minimum number of compulsory pit stops required in endurance events is as follows:
2 hour events – 4 pit stops (including the stop at the end of the event)
24 hour events – no minimum requirement
It is the responsibility of each team to monitor the number of pit stops. The electronic pit stop
record is not available to teams.
Stop/go penalties do not count as compulsory pit stops.
6. Timing and Lap Scoring

All timing and lap scoring will be computerised using an electronic transponder system. Any
driver, team member or pit crew attempting to interfere or tamper with this equipment, will along
with the entire team, be excluded from the event and all entry fees will be forfeited. Apart from the
designated official(s) no person is to touch the race computer.
293.
It is the responsibility of the team to securely attach the transponder to the kart. If the transponder
is dislocated or dislodged during the race, it is the team’s responsibility to replace it. At the
discretion of the Clerk of the Course, and taking into account the circumstances, time lost may be
adjusted on the electronic timing system.
Transponders must be mounted on the inside of the left hand side pod with the leading edge of the
transponder 250mm to the rear of the centre line of the front left hand stub axle measured when
the front wheels are pointing straight ahead.
Should the timing system fail at any time for any reason whatsoever, the race will be red flagged
and the race order for the restart or results will be as shown on the most recent printout or computer
record.
Should a teams transponder fail, they will be credited with laps equivalent to time from the point
at which the transponder ceased to function to the time they rejoin the race with a replacement
transponder. The method for determining the number of laps to be credited will be to take an
average lap time based on the team’s performance immediately prior to the failure of the
transponder. Pit or fuel stops will be taken into consideration when making such calculations. Laps
will only be credited where the Clerk of the Course determine that there has been a genuine
transponder failure. Note: If a battery was not sufficiently charged prior to the event by the
competitor, this is not considered a genuine transponder failure and consequently any loss of laps
and/or position as a result will remain.
A team will not score any points if the kart does not cross the start/finish line at the completion of
the event under its own power within two minutes of the chequered flag being waved to signal the
completion of the event. This result will be recorded as a DNF (Did Not Finish).
7. Qualifying
Qualifying will usually be limited to a specified maximum number of laps during a qualifying
period. Any team that exceeds the maximum number of laps permitted will start from the rear of
the grid. If more than one team exceeds the maximum number of laps permitted, the last team to
infringe will start from the rear of the field. Note: The “out” lap and “in” lap are included in the
maximum number of laps allowed.
During qualifying, drivers should be particularly aware of other karts on the circuit. The Clerk of
the Course may black flag drivers who are impeding the qualifying laps of other drivers.
Tyres used during qualifying must be used to commence the race unless the Clerk of the Course
indicates that there has been a change in race conditions.
51.09 Pit Area

The pit area is the area designated by the Clerk of the Course for driver changes.
Driver changes are not permitted in the refuelling or weighing area unless specifically permitted
by the Clerk of the Course for a particular activity or event.
The Clerk of the Course may appoint a Pit Marshal(s) to control the pit area.
294.
Competitors are required to obey the directions of the Pit Marshal(s) at all times.
Karts must be driven at a safe speed within the pit area (no more than 20 kilometres per hour). Pit
speed limits are applied for safety reasons and will be strictly policed and enforced by the Clerk of
the Course or Pit Marshal(s). A minimum time period may be specified for a kart to travel from
the pit entry to the pit exit.
Chain oiling and minor mechanical or damage repairs only are permitted in this area. For repairs
requiring more than 2 minutes, the kart must be removed to the paddock area. Any kart removed
to the paddock area may be inspected by a Scrutineer(s) prior to being permitted to restart.
Extreme care and caution should be exercised when rejoining the circuit from the pit lane. You
should only rejoin the circuit when it is safe to do so or when instructed to do so by the Pit Marshal.
Pit Area infringements may result in any of the following penalties: stop/go penalty, computer lap
penalty or exclusion from the event.
During an event (including practice, qualifying and race) only the driver getting out of the kart, the
driver getting into the kart and one pit crew are permitted in the pit area. Once a pit stop has been
completed they are to leave the pit area immediately. One member of the team is permitted in the
pit area to monitor the race and to signal the driver.
51.10 Minimum Weight and Weighing Procedures

1. Minimum Weight
The minimum weight of the kart, inclusive of driver, engines and engine oil shall not be less than
185 kilograms using the scales nominated by the Clerk of the Course at the event. Karts may be
weighed at any time during qualifying, the race or at post race scrutineering at the discretion of the
Clerk of the Course. Penalty for Infringement: 5 laps deducted for every kilogram or part thereof
under the weight limit.
If a kart is underweight it will be required to be re-weighed. In this case the team requiring re-
weighing will have to wait for any other teams waiting to use the scales.
2. Fixing of Ballast to the Kart

Ballast may be added to the kart but must be firmly attached with secure mechanical fixings. Any
ballast carried in the seat or seat insert must be restrained by a method deemed acceptable by the
scrutineer. It is the team’s responsibility to supply ballast if required. A team may be disqualified
from the event if any ballast becomes dislodged during practice, qualifying or the race.
No divers belts or other methods of ballast are to be carried by drivers. It is a serious offence to
have any ballast in a driver’s clothing or on a driver’s person.
3. Weighing Procedure
The standard weighing procedure will be as follows:
• The driver will bring the kart to the weighing area at a safe speed (no faster than walking pace).
• The driver will only proceed onto the scales when instructed to do so by the Weighing
Marshal(s).
295.
• Once the kart and driver have been weighed, the Weighing Marshal(s) will instruct them to
move off the scales.
• The driver may not leave the weighing area until directed to do so by the Weighing
Marshal(s).
• No contact is permitted between the driver and any other team member, pit crew or
spectators.
4. Timing of Weighing
During the race, all weighing stops will be timed by the Weighing Marshal(s). The time period for
weighing is one minute.
5. Infringements
Weighing Area infringements, other than underweight, may result in any of the following penalties:
stop/go penalty, computer lap penalty or exclusion from the activity or event.
6. Average Weight
If an average weight system is in use in lieu of min weight 51.04.1, then the combined Kart and all
team drivers are to be weighed and the average weight of drivers and kart shall not be less than 185
kg. All team drivers are expected to complete at least 10 % of the total race duration.” Only if a
Minimum Kart Weight is applied.
51.10 Fuel and Refueling Procedures

1. Fuel
Permitted fuel for practice, qualifying and endurance races will be premium unleaded petrol or
unleaded petrol which is readily available to the general public. The organiser will supply the fuel
for qualifying and races, however it is the responsibility of teams to supply fuel for practice.
2. Refueling Area
Refueling during qualifying and races must only take place in the designated refueling area.
Smoking is forbidden in this area and admission is prohibited to all persons other than the
Refueling Marshal(s) and competitors refueling their karts.
3. Access to Refueling Area

The refueling area will be opened approximately one hour after the commencement of the race and
will remain open for the duration of the race EXCEPT during safety vehicle periods when the
refueling area will be closed. Should a team wish to refuel during a safety vehicle period, they will
be required to wait until racing resumes.
4. Refueling Marshal(s)
Competitors are required to obey the directions of the Refueling Marshal(s) at all times.
5. Refueling Procedure
The standard refueling method will be as follows:
• The driver will bring the kart to the refueling area at a safe speed (no faster than walking
pace).
• The driver will be responsible for switching off the engines before getting out of the kart.
• It is the drivers responsibility to activate the Electronic Fuel Timing System.
296.
• The driver must then move away from the kart to the designated driver area or to an area as
directed by the Refueling Marshal(s).
• The driver will at all times during the refueling process remain in the designated driver area.
• The driver may be required to hold and be prepared to use one of the refueling area fire
extinguishers.
• The driver may only return to the kart when directed to do so by the Refueling Marshal(s).
• The Refueling Marshal(s) will replace the fuel cap(s) and restart the motors.
• The driver may not leave the refueling area until the Electronic Fuel Timing System light
turns to Green or until directed to do so by the Refueling Marshal(s).
• No driver changes, mechanical or damage repairs, oiling of chains, etc may be carried out
on the kart at any time whilst it is in the confines of the designated refueling area.
• No queue jumping is permitted in the refueling area unless directed by an official.
• Compulsory Fuel Marshall and Refueling Marshall must be present.
6. Timing of Refueling
During the race, all refueling stops will be timed by the Refueling Marshal(s) or by an Electronic
Fuel Timing System. The time period for refueling is one minute.
7. Fuel Cap(s)
Drivers are advised to check the tightness and security of fuel cap(s) prior to leaving the refueling
area.
8. Safety
Refueling has the potential to be dangerous. Any driver, team member or pit crew which recklessly
endangers themselves or anyone else during the refueling process may be excluded from the event.
51.11 Race Regulations

1. Starting Grid
All karts must be taken to the starting grid at least five minutes prior to the commencement of the
race. The pit lane will close five minutes before the commencement of the race and any karts not
on the grid will start from the pit lane. Note: This may mean that the “out” lap is not electronically
recorded as a race lap. In this case, there will be no computer adjustment.
2. Race Start
Karts will do two warm-up laps and will then be directed to their grid positions on the completion
of the second warm-up lap. When all karts are in their grid positions the race start will be signaled.
Safety Kart Board

A white board with the initials SK in black will be used to indicate a Full Course Caution. This
indicates that a safety vehicle or slow vehicle is on the circuit or likely to enter the circuit.
Competitors must slow down and maintain position. No overtaking is permitted.
3. Access to the Track

Unless authorised by the Clerk of the Course, apart from the driver, no team member, pit crew,
spectator or other person is to access the track area during an activity or race.
297.
4. Breakdown or Stoppage on the Circuit
Should a kart break down on the circuit the driver is permitted to carry out minor repairs to allow
the kart to rejoin the race or to expedite the return of the kart to the pit area. Any repairs may only
be affected by hand and no tools are permitted to be carried by the driver, on the kart or to be taken
onto the circuit. No other team member may assist in any such repairs.
Repairs are only permitted once the kart and driver have been moved to a position of safety. Whilst
in the confines of the track the driver must leave all protective clothing on including helmet, driving
suit, boots and gloves.
Any kart breaking down on the circuit may be returned to the pit or paddock area for repair with
the approval of, and under the supervision of an appropriate official. No member of the team or pit
crew is permitted onto the circuit to work on or help retrieve the kart without the express
permission of the Clerk of the Course.
5. Safety Vehicle
A safety vehicle may be used from time to time to control the race under certain circumstances.
Should the need to use the safety vehicle arise the following protocol should be observed.
In the event of a full course caution, where possible or safe, the safety vehicle will enter the circuit
in front of the lead kart. If unable to enter the circuit in front of the lead kart, drivers will be waved
past by the safety vehicle driver, Clerk of the Course or nominated official until the lead kart is
behind the safety vehicle. Unless specifically instructed by the safety vehicle driver, Clerk of the
Course or nominated official, under no circumstances do you overtake the pace vehicle.
All karts must proceed in single file behind the pace vehicle. One lap prior to the safety vehicle
leaving the circuit, the safety vehicle driver, Clerk of the Course or nominated official will indicate
that there is one lap to go. Once the safety vehicle leaves the circuit, you must remain in single file
and may only resume racing once your kart has crossed the start line. Penalty for Infringement:
Stop/go penalty.
Under a safety vehicle, karts should attempt to close up on the line of karts behind the safety kart
and should not unfairly impede the progress of the kart behind. In these circumstances, the Clerk
of the Course or nominated official may wave the kart behind through and may impose a stop/go
penalty on the impeding kart.
Pit stops are permitted whilst the safety vehicle is on the circuit however you must rejoin the circuit
at the end of the single file line behind the safety vehicle. Refueling is not permitted under a full
course caution or safety vehicle period.
6. Race Stoppage and Restart

In the event of a restart, the starting grid order will be as they were on the lap prior to the red flag
being used to signal the race stoppage. Restarts will be single file rolling start and competitors will
be given one warm up lap in single file grid order. Overtaking on the warm up lap is forbidden.
Once the lead kart has crossed the start line on the warm up lap, the race will be considered as
restarted and any karts requiring entry to the pit area will be permitted to do so. Karts wanting to
298.
rejoin at this point can only do so once the last kart in the single file has gone past the pit lane exit
on the warm up lap or once the last kart has gone past the pit lane exit on the first racing lap of the
restart. (ie. you must rejoin at the rear of the field not the front).
During a race stoppage, karts may be removed to the paddock area for mechanical or damage
repairs. Any kart removed to the paddock area may be inspected by a Scrutineer(s) prior to being
permitted to restart.
51.12 Offences and Penalties

1. Types of Penalties
The Clerk of the Course may impose any one or combination of the following penalties:
reprimand; stop/go penalty (10 seconds to 5 minutes); computer lap penalty; place penalty; points
penalty (event or championship); revision of grid position; exclusion of driver, team member or pit
crew; exclusion from activity, event or championship; fine or suspension.
2. Stop/Go Penalty
In Endurance karting, a special flag (a green and red diagonal flag which will be unique for
Endurance Karting) should be displayed together with a panel upon which the competitors’ kart
number is shown. This flag is used to signify that a stop/go penalty has been imposed on that
competitor or team. When a competitor receives the special flag they are to immediately return to
the pits next time he/she reaches it without impeding other competitors. The driver must complete
the stop/go penalty together with any time penalty and can then rejoin the race. No driver change,
refuelling, mechanical repairs, tyre pressuring or chain lubing etc is permitted during a stop/go
penalty. At the completion of the driving stint, the driver must report to the Clerk of the Course or
Steward immediately after returning to the Pit Area. Penalty for Infringement: Another stop/go
penalty.
3. Computer Lap Penalty

The Clerk of the Course may impose a computer lap penalty in lieu of, or in addition to, a stop/go

supplied condition from Honda MPE Australia or it’s appointed agents. Note: Honda MPE
Australia will admit no warranty claims on engines used in practice or racing.
Engines will be mounted on either side of the kart at the rear and drive the kart through chains.
2. Modifications
Modifications to engines are strictly limited to the following:
• Removal of the governor mechanism and oil switch. If the whole mechanism is removed,
the holes in the crankcase must be sealed to prevent oil leakage.
• Fitting of alternative exhaust valves (Honda Part No. 14721-ZH8-810)
• Fitting of alternative valve springs (Honda Part No. 14751-ZH8-940 or 14751-ZE1-000)
• Fitting of alternative carburettor jets
Size 68 (Honda Part No. 99101-ZF5–0680)
• Substitution or complete removal of the air filter is permitted, however the outer air filter
casing must remain as standard and in place. No modification to the outer air filter housing
is permitted.
• The linkage connecting the throttle cables to the standard carburettor throttle arm is free
and it is permitted to fit throttle return springs to each carburettor.
• Spark plugs are free, however no spark enhancers or boosters are permitted.
Apart from the modifications above, no engine parts other than genuine Honda parts, as specified
for this engine type, may be used. Furthermore, it should be noted that the terms “standard” and
“genuine” refer not only to the components used but also to the number used and the manner in
which engines are assembled. Apart from the modifications specifically mentioned in these
regulations, the engines should be completely standard and all components should remain in place
unless it specifically states that you are allowed to remove them.
Reboring of the engine or regrinding of the crankshaft is not permitted. No sleeving or surface
material change to the bore is permitted. No other metal removal from any component is permitted.
301.
No polishing of the cylinder head, combustion area, inlet tract or exhaust port tract is permitted.
Chemical agents must achieve carbon removal only. It would not be expected to see casting marks
or imperfections removed.
Remote engine kill switches are permitted however the standard start/stop switch must be retained
and must function independently of any remote engine kill switch.
3. Alternative Fuel System

The only permissible fuel tank shall be a central fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 9 litres. A
fuel tank with a capacity greater than 7 litres must have a line clearly and permanently marked on
the fuel tank by a scrutineer to indicate a 7 litre fuel level. Refer Rule 22.04.
When refuelling, it is not permitted to fill the fuel tank past the 7 litre mark. The tank may be fitted
to the kart with a quick-change mechanism to allow for ease of refuelling.
Pulse Pumps can be fitted using either the original hole used by the governors once they have been
removed or by utilising the inlet manifold. If via the inlet manifold, the fitting used must be a
commercial off-the shelf product with no modifications and must protrude into the inlet port no
less than 0.5mm, thus making de-burring unnecessary. If the port is modified in any other way the
engine will not pass scrutineering.
51.15 Engine Scrutineering

Engine Scrutineers will be approved and appointed from time to time. Only approved Engine
Scrutineers may inspect and seal engines. Engine Scrutineers may charge a fee for this service.
A list of approved Engine Scrutineers is available on request and is included in Appendix A.
The Engine Scrutineer will pay particular attention to the finish of all components to ensure that
they match the standard unit. The Engine Scrutineer may check and compare any suspect
component with a standard part as supplied by Honda MPE Australia. Checks and measurements
may be carried out to ensure that tolerances are within those specified by Honda.
Engines will be sealed by the Engine Sealer using lock wire and lead or plastic seals.
The Engine Sealer shall keep a record of the engine numbers of engines sealed for endurance
karting events.
Engine seals will be inspected by the Scrutineer(s) prior to each event. It is the teams responsibility
to ensure that engine seals are intact and in place. If a seal is broken the engine must be represented
to the Engine Scrutineer for inspection and sealing. No engine inspections or sealing will be
available at events unless specifically requested or approved by the organiser or the Engine Sealer.
At the conclusion of an event, the organiser reserves the right to take away any engine or engines
for inspection and/or dynamometer testing if they wish. If any infringement is found to exist the
team will be liable for any inspection fee.

AKA DRUGS IN SPORT POLICY
1. What is AKA Position on Doping?

1.1 AKA Incorporated condemns the use of performance enhancing drugs and doping practices in
sport. The use of performance enhancing drugs and doping practices is contrary to the ethics
of sport and potentially harmful to the health of members and competitors. The only legitimate
use of drugs in sport is under the supervision of a physician for a clinically justified purpose.
1.2 AKA aims to prevent doping practices in sport by:
a. imposing effective sanctions on persons who commit doping offences
b. educating and informing persons about drugs in sport issues, and
c. Implementing drug testing programs and education initiatives.
1.3 AKA will:
a. give ASDA timely and accurate member contact information as and when required.
b. engage appropriate drug testing authorities to conduct doping control
c. make this Policy available to competitors, officials and medical and health practitioners
d. develop and implement drug education and information programs for competitors,
officials and medical and health practitioners, and
1.4 Competitors and other persons may be subject to testing, investigation and discipline under
this Policy.
1.5 AKA will not disclose or use information about a person who is alleged to have, or has
committed a doping offence except (for a purpose under this Policy) to:
a the ASC
b the FIA/CIK, or
c another person until after:
(i) the AKA, AKA Tribunal or the CAS has made a determination, or
(ii) the CEO has decided not to refer the matter to a hearing.
2. Who does this Policy Apply to?
This Policy applies to:
a. Members
b. competitors, officials and
c. employees and contractors of AKA Incorporated.
3. What is a Doping Offence?
3.1 A competitor commits a doping offence if:
a) a prohibited substance (see Attachment 1) is present within the competitor's body tissue,
fluids or expired air, unless except where:
(i) the competitor uses the prohibited substance for a therapeutic purpose (see clause
3.4), or
(ii) there are exceptional circumstances (see clause 3.5)
b) the competitor uses or takes advantage of a prohibited method, (see Attachment 2) or
c) the competitor refuses to provide a sample for testing when requested by a drug testing
authority.
3.2 A person (including a competitor) commits a doping offence if:
a) the person is knowingly involved in trafficking, or
b) the person knowingly assists, or is knowingly involved in the commission of a doping
offence by another person.
370.
3.3 A doping offence is proved if a person admits to having committed the doping offence to
another person.
Therapeutic Purpose
3.4 A person uses a prohibited substance for a therapeutic purpose if:
a) The person had provided notification to the CEO prior to testing
b) the person had written approval prior to testing from a AKA State Medical Assessor or
the AKA Chief Medical Assessor for the therapeutic use of the prohibited substance
c) the level of the prohibited substance in the sample is consistent with the approved
therapeutic use, and
d) rules permit the therapeutic use of the prohibited substance and is consistent with the FIA
rules (see Attachment 3).
Exceptional Circumstances
3.5 Exceptional extenuating circumstances exist if the presence of the prohibited substance is
beyond the person's control. For example:
• the person has a natural T/E Testosterone : Epitestosterone ratio above 6:1, or
• the person is administered the prohibited substance in hospital without their knowledge.
Exceptional extenuating circumstances do not exist merely because the person:
a) took the prohibited substance inadvertently, or
b) did not know that the substance was prohibited.
3.6 The onus of proof is on the person who claims that:
a) they used a prohibited substance for a therapeutic purpose, or
b) there are exceptional circumstances.
The meaning of “therapeutic use” and “extenuating circumstances” may be varied in the case
of junior and veteran competitors.
4. Investigation of a Doping Offence and Referral to Hearing

4.1 Where AKA receives written confirmation of a positive test result or information that causes
the Association to believe that a person may have committed a doping offence, the CEO will
investigate the matter.
4.2 The CEO will refer the matter to a hearing under clause 4.6 if the CEO:
a) reasonably considers that a person may have committed a doping offence, or
b) receives written notice from a drug testing authority of:
(i) a positive test result by the person, or
(ii) a refusal by the person to provide a sample.
4.3 The CEO may decide not to refer the matter to a hearing if the person in writing:
a) Acknowledges that they have committed the doping offence, and
b) waives the right to a hearing in relation to:
(i) whether the person committed a doping offence, and
(ii) what sanction will apply. The AKA may apply a sanction as set out in clause 6.1.
4.4 Where the person is subject to the anti-doping policy of the ASC, the CEO will consult the
ASC about the ASC's participation in any investigation and hearing. The CEO and the ASC
may agree to make a joint referral to a hearing under clause 4.6.
4.5 If the CEO decides to refer the matter to a hearing, the CEO will send the person written
notification which:
a) sets out the nature and basic details of the alleged doping offence
b) says that the CEO will refer the matter to a hearing within 14 days (unless the person
371.
gives a written waiver under clause 4.3), and
c) encloses a copy of this Policy.
4.6 The CEO will wait 14 days (or a shorter period agreed between the CEO and the person) after
sending a letter under clause 4.5 and then will:
a) request the National Sports Disputes Centre to appoint a Committee
b) appoint the CAS, or
c) appoint an AKA Tribunal established in accordance with the rules of AKA to conduct a
hearing. At least one of the Members of the Tribunal must be legally qualified and at least
one must be a current member of AKA National Medical Committee
4.7 The CEO may withdraw the referral to a hearing under clause 4.6 at any time until the hearing
commences if the person gives a written waiver under clause 4.3.
4.8 The CEO may:
a) suspend financial or other assistance to the person, and
b) suspend the person from competition in events and competitions conducted by or under
the auspices of AKA or from international competition until the determination
of the hearing.
4.9 The AKA Tribunal or the CAS will determine:
a) whether the person has committed a doping offence, and if so
b) what sanction will apply, and
c) how long the sanction will apply.
5. Conduct of Hearings
5.1 A person alleged to have committed a doping offence has a right to a hearing unless the
circumstances in clause 4.3 apply. A person who has acknowledged that they have committed
a doping offence may request a hearing on sanction (penalty) only.
5.2 If the CAS conducts the hearing, it will conduct the hearing as set out in the Code of Sport-
related Arbitration. Where a AKA Tribunal conducts the hearing, the AKA Tribunal:
a) will conduct the hearing in the manner the AKA Tribunal determines
b) will conduct the hearing:
(i) with as little formality and technicality, and
(ii) as quickly as proper consideration of the matter permits
c) may conduct the hearing by telephone or other conference facility
d) may examine and cross-examine witnesses
e) may appoint a legal representative or other person to assist it, and
f) may allow the person alleged to have committed a doping offence to
(i) examine and cross-examine witnesses, and
(ii) be assisted by a legal representative or other person.
5.3 The hearing AKA Tribunal or the CAS will accept the result of a test conducted by a drug
testing authority, unless:
a) the drug testing authority did not substantially comply with the applicable drug testing
procedures, and
b) that noncompliance casts serious significant doubt on the result. The onus of proof is on
the person who claims the AKA Tribunal or the AKA should not accept the result.
5.4 The AKA Tribunal or the CAS will give the CEO a written statement of:
a) the findings of the hearing
b) what sanction (if any), if any, will apply, and
c) how long the sanction (if any) will sanction, if any, will apply.
372.
6. What Sanctions Apply?
6.1 Where the AKA Tribunal or the CAS determines that a person has committed a doping
offence, it will decide whether one or more of the following sanctions will apply.
The AKA Tribunal or the CAS may:
a ban the person from taking part, in any competition in Australia or in international
competition
b ban the person from competing in any events and competitions conducted by or under the
auspices of AKA
c make the person ineligible to receive direct or indirect funding or assistance from AKA
Incorporated
d ban the person from holding any position within AKA
e require that the person remain on ASDA's register for the purpose of out-of-competition
testing
f recommend that:

(ii) the ASC
(iii) the AIS, or
(iv) the AOC require the person to repay financial assistance given to the person from
the date of the doping offence.
g require the person go to counselling for a specified period
h withdraw awards, placings and records won in events and competitions conducted by or
under the auspices of AKA from the date of the doping offence, and/or
i reprimand the person.
6.2 Where the AKA Tribunal or the CAS determines that an employee or member of AKA
Incorporated has committed a doping offence, AKA will take disciplinary action against the
employee or member.
7. How Long do Sanctions Apply for?

7.1 Where the doping offence involves:
a) anabolic androgenic steroids
b) peptide glycoprotein hormones or analogues
c) a prohibited method

Attachment 1
Prohibited Methods of Doping

A. BLOOD DOPING
Blood transfusion is the intravenous administration of red blood cells or related blood products
that contain red blood cells. Such products can be obtained from blood drawn from the same
(Autologous) or from a different (non-Autologous) individual. The most common indications
for red blood transfusion in conventional medical practice are acute blood loss and severe
anaemia. Blood doping is the administration of blood or related red blood products to an
athlete. This procedure may be preceded by withdrawal of blood from the athlete who
continues to train in this blood depleted state. These procedures contravene the ethics of
medicine and of sport. There are also risks involved in the transfusion of blood and related
blood products. These include the development of allergic reactions (rash, fever etc.) and acute
haemolytic reaction with kidney damage if incorrectly typed blood is used, as well as delayed
transfusion reaction resulting in fever and jaundice, transmission of infectious diseases (viral
hepatitis and AIDS) overload of the circulation and metabolic shock. Therefore the practice of
blood doping in sport is banned by AKA Incorporated and the IOC Medical Commission.
AKA Incorporated and the IOC Medical Commission bans Erythropoietin as method of
doping (see section I, Doping Classes, F-Peptide hormones and analogues).
B. PHARMACOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL MANIPULATION
Pharmaceutical, chemical and physical manipulation is the use of substances and of methods
which alter, attempt to alter or may reasonably be expected to alter the integrity and validity of
urine samples used in doping controls, including, without limitation, catheterisation, urine
substitution and or tampering, inhibition of renal excretion such as by probenecid and related
compounds and epitosterone application. The success or failure of a prohibited substance or
method is not material. It is sufficient that the said substance or procedure was used or
attempted for the infraction to be considered as consummated.
Attachment 2
Prohibited Substances in AKA Permitted Motor Sport

A BROAD CLASSES OF SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED IN MOTOR SPORT INCLUDE:
1 STIMULANTS e.g. amphetamines, cocaine, ephedrine, salbutamol (Ventolin) and
terbutaline (Bricanyl). The latter two are permitted by inhaler only and only with prior
written notification of the physician. Caffeine is permitted provided the concentration in
the urine does not exceed 12 micrograms/mL.
2 NARCOTIC ANALGESICS e.g. diamorphine (heroin), methadone, morphine,
pentazocine, pethidine and related substances.
3 ANABOLIC AGENTS (anabolic androgenic steroids) e.g., fluoxymesterone,
methenolone, nandrolone, oxandrolone, stanazol, testosterone and related substances.
4 DIURETICS e.g. chlorthalidone, frusemide, hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone and
related substances. These are widely used for the elimination of excess fluid from tissues
377.
in certain pathological conditions and in the treatment of high blood pressure. They may
be misused by competitors for two main reasons: to reduce weight quickly in sports
where weight categories are involved, and to reduce the concentration of drugs by
diluting the urine.
5 PEPTIDE AND GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONES AND ANALOGUES e.g. HCG,
ACTH, H. Administration of these compounds increases the rate of production of the
body's own steroids and is considered equivalent to the administration of steroids.
Erythropoietin induces changes similar to blood doping and is therefore prohibited. In
addition to the IOC list of prohibited substances, AKA Incorporated may prohibit or
restrict the use of the following substances:
6 ANTIHISTAMINES (“anti-allergy” drugs) The older antihistamines (e.g. pheniramine,
diphenhydramine, promethazine, chlorpheniramine etc.) have been shown to impair
motor skills and judgement and may have an additive effect with other medications. They
should not be taken in the twenty-four hours prior to a motor sport event. The newer
“non-sedating” antihistamines (terfenadine, loratadine, astemizole and cetirizine) have
not been shown to significantly impair motor skills or judgement and are permitted.
7 PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS Most of the psychiatric medications are liable to cause some
degree of drowsiness or diminished concentration or motor performance. These drugs are
also used to treat many conditions which are themselves a contraindication to
participation in motor sport. However the individual response to these drugs is very
difficult to predict and the drugs may be taken for many different conditions and in
greatly varying dosages. In general, the following drugs are prohibited if currently taken:
- tricyclic, tetracyclic and MAOI antidepressants
- antipsychotics
- minor tranquillisers and sedatives
- CNS stimulants (included on the IOC list)
If a person has been taking any of these drugs on a regular basis, a period of at least two
weeks should elapse before they can be assessed for fitness to participate in motor sport.
The drugs which may be permitted after individual assessment include:
- maintenance treatment with SSRI or RIMA antidepressants
- maintenance treatment with “mood stablisers” (e.g. lithium, carbamazepine or
sodium valproate)
B. CLASSES OF DRUGS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS IN MOTOR SPORT

Alcohol
Tests may be conducted for ethanol. The blood alcohol content must be 0.02mg/100mL.
Positive results will lead to sanctions. Marijuana Tests may be conducted for cannabnoids
(Marijuana, Hashish etc) Positive results will lead to sanctions.
Local anaesthetics
Injectable local anaesthetics are permitted under the following conditions:
A that bupivacaine, lidocaine, mepivacaine, procaine etc. are used but not cocaine.
Vasoconstrictor agents (e.g. adrenaline) may be used in conjunction with local
anaesthetics.
B only local or intra-articular injections may be administered;
C only when medically justified. In agreement with International Sports Federations and
the responsible authorities, notification of the permitted use may be necessary except for
dental application. The details including diagnosis, dose and route of administration must
378.
be submitted prior to the competition or, if administered during the competition,
immediately after injection, in writing to the relevant medical authority. Corticosteroids.
The use of corticosteroids is banned except:
A for topical use (mucosal) but not rectal;
B by inhalation;
C by intra-articular or local injection.
The IOC Medical Commission has introduced mandatory reporting of athletes requiring
corticosteroids by inhalation during competitions. Any team doctor wishing to administer
corticosteroids by inhalation or by local or intra-articular injection, or by inhalation, to a
competitor must give written notification prior to the competition to the relevant medical
authority.
Beta-blockers, e.g.:
alprenolol, atenolol, metoprolol, oxprenolol, propranolol and related substances.
The IOC Medical Commission has reviewed the therapeutic indications for the use of
betablocking drugs and noted that there is now a wide range of effective alternative
preparations available in order to control hypertension, cardiac arrythmias, angina pectoris and
migraine. Due to the continued misuse of beta-blockers in some sports where physical activity
is of no or little importance, the IOC Medical Commission reserves the right to test those
sports which it deems appropriate.

Attachment 3
FIA Policy on Drugs in Sport

The FIA policy on drugs in sport, as advised in Appendix L, Chapter II, Article 4 of the 1998 FIA
yearbook follows.
379.
4. ANTI DOPING TESTS
4.5 General:
The following measures are advocated to combat doping:
* prevention
* controls
* sanctions
4.1.1 Prevention
Prevention is the joint responsibility of the ASNs and the FIA by means of:
* Information
* Education
4.1 Controls
4.1.2.1 The reference list of substances (section 1) and of methods (section 11) which are forbidden
is that drawn up and regularly updated by the IOC for motor sport, test may also be carried out
to detect the presence of alcohol (section III A) marijuana (section III B) and beta blockers
(section III E).
4.1.2.2 The following conditions must be fulfilled:
* the presence of a doctor delegated by the ASN and/or FIA;
* for sampling during a competition, the presence of one of the Stewards of the meeting or
one member of race control
* the respect of professional confidentiality;
* the respect of the basic rights of the driver undergoing the test: assistance from a third
party of his/her choosing who is at the site at the time of the sampling
* The possibility of a counter analysis;
* analyses and possible counter-analyses to be carried out obligatory by a laboratory
accredited by the International Olympic Committee.
* justification of a therapeutic nature must be taken into account;
4.1.2.3 Samples may be taken either:
A at the request of the ASN concerned, or the AKA or
B at the request of the FIA;
Furthermore,
C at the request of the President of the FIA, spot checks may be carried out both during
competitions and at other times. In case (a), the FIA should be notified as quickly as
possible. In the case of (b) the FIA should inform the ASN concerned at least 20 days
prior to the test. If a spot test is to be carried out, the ASNs concerned will receive no
prior notification. Any driver designated for testing is obliged to submit himself/herself
to such tests; if he/she does not, he/she will be liable to a sanction under article
4.1.3 For (b) and (c), the ASNs of the drivers undergoing the tests will be notified of the results.
4.1.2.4 The President of the FIA must be notified immediately of the results of the analyses, either
directly, by the laboratory which carried out the tests (FIA spot check), or, in other cases, by
the ASN of the country in which the tests were carried out.
4.1.2.5 The following are responsible for designating the drivers to be tested:
a during an event: the Stewards of the meeting;
b at other times; the President of the FIA.
4.1.2.6 Samples will be taken at the following times:
at the latest, one hour after; the finish of the race, the end of the practice session, or the official
notification of a withdrawal.
380.
* For out of competition testing: at any time. The quantity of urine collected should be
sufficient to allow analysis and possible counter-analysis (75ml. In two hermetically
sealed containers with an attestation by the delegated doctor affixed, one of which will be
preserved with all suitable precautions for the requirement of a possible counter-
expertise).
4.1.2.7 Should the analysis of one of the samples prove positive, the driver will be notified
immediately by the ASN or AKA. A counter-expertise may be carried out at the request of the
driver concerned within the eight days following the notification of the results. The cost of this
counter-expertise will be charged to the driver, and will be refunded should the second analysis
prove negative.
4.1.3 Sanctions
Any justification of a therapeutic nature which may have been invoked having been taken into
account, any driver declared positive shall be referred to the sporting jurisdiction of his/her
ASN or AKA and judged according to articles 152 and 153 of the Sporting Code. Furthermore,
for infringements of a particularly serious nature, the FIA may substitute for the ASN or AKA
to judge a driver who has been declared positive, in accordance with the above-mentioned
articles. In this case, the competent ASN or AKA cannot refuse to bring an appeal before the
International Court of Appeal on behalf of the party concerned.
