NCK Board is cautious at this time based on the economy. Hilger asks if the IKF Board can have an answer 30 days prior to the April Meeting.

Debbie Kuntze and Julie Kuntze join the Meeting. Hilger asks to speak to the tracks/ clubs/promoters at the Meeting during the break regarding the proposed new waiver sheets. Hilger feels the Director in Charge and Tech Director should not compete in the Grand National. Add verbiage to Sections 101.1.5 and 101.1.6 to disallow this. Hilger opens the Floor to discussion by members and guests. Jim McMillan (Mac) states there are several things that he would like to discuss with the Board about the upcoming season i.e. rules. Some are more important, none are deal breakers but all are important in general: Discussion: Stock CR 125. Will be solid deal in 2009 RR GN. There will be some rules issues. Passes list to the Board. Wants them resolved before their season starts in March. The way they start their season is the way the rules will be for the year. States that it is basically what SKUSA is doing with the Stock CR 125. If we can incorporate what they are doing in the Stock class, It makes it a perfectly clear deal to cross over from anywhere you want to race. Comments by Holmboe not picked up on the tape. Motley states that Region 11and the Northwest wrote the rules. Mac states they have done it exactly the same way ever since. He has no problem with that and no problem continuing with it. Mac states there is one deviation that has taken place that he is vehemently opposed to. States they have raced it as a pure stock type of class i.e. everything is stock. States there was huge controversy at the RR GN when they had monster farings on the karts. It clearly says in the Rulebook that you don’t have that. Response was that was the way we do it here and the way it would be done at the GN. He states that no one in his region has run the monster farings in the stock class. This year it was adopted in the Rulebook. Is aware of only one person in the Northwest who makes the faring. Now all of our racers who have raced and supported the class since its incepKARTER NEWS - MARCH 2009 tion, will have to spend $300 for the faring to race the class. Holmboe states the Northwest individual does not care if it goes away now. Mac does not understand how it got in the Rulebook. Mac states that everyone has a CIK faring on their kart-why make the $300 monster faring mandatory for the upcoming Grand Nationals. Holmboe explains why it was added but his comments were not picked up by tape. Discussion on the word “stock”. Says it is misleading. Holmboe asks what Mac is proposing on motors. Mac says that is directly out of their rules. Comment about pipes. Mac states the monster faring issue is much bigger to him. His guys have the equipment. Discussion of the monster faring. Motley discusses a draft of some potential SKUSA rule changes. Mac states they cannot show up at the RR GN with the wrong faring. Does not want his regional racers to have to spend $300 to participate in the class. Discussion of change to Section 306.9.3 in the Rulebook. Holmboe to work on a rule change for Board consideration. Mac states the other issue is the TaG class – front brakes. Based on participation in his region, probably 80% of the people who race TaG are Rotax racers. Rotax racers have front brakes. He will not tell the TaG racers on the starting grid of the upcoming RR GN to unhook their brakes before they get on the track. Holmboe states the reason they do not have front brakes. Discussion by Board regarding brakes. Mac feels that the majority of the TaG racers at the 2009 RR GN will be Rotax racers. Verlengiere asks Holmboe about the Rotax racers in the Northwest. Mac is not asking for it to be mandatory, he is asking that it be common between TaG and Rotax to say the same thing. He does not like the idea of mixing it. He will always be an advocate of putting karts on the track, especially road racing at high speed, and having part of them with rear wheel brakes only and part with rear wheel and front wheel brakes. Discussion by Board. Mac states that he would like the TaG class to have the same wording as the Rotax class i.e. rear brakes optional. Mac states that the two item of high priority are the brakes and faring. The reason he brought up the faring issue is it affects the cost to race; he wants to keep the cost down. Discussion by Board and audience. Debbie Kuntze says to put in place for 2010. Mac states that they will need to take the class out of the RR GN schedule as there will be no participation. Mac and the Board discuss running the class as a local option. Verlengiere asks Mac what he wants. Mac wants the front brakes to be optional in TaG just like in Rotax. Additional discussion by Board and audience. Motion by Verlengiere re: Allow a one race exemption for the 2009 Road Race Grand National to run the TaG Light and TaG Heavy classes with optional front brakes. Add to Section 312. Second by: Motley. In Favor: Hoegerl, Motley, Schorn, Scribner, Verlengiere. Opposed: Araki, Holmboe. Passed Motley discusses the Super Stock rules. Mac asks IKF Office to distribute requested rule changes to the Board. Wants to eliminate problems prior to the Grand National. Mac wants any changes done prior to his March race. Jim McMillan announces a major international sponsor of the 2009 Road Race Grand National. Mac discusses the participation of the World Formula at the event. Discusses the scheduling of events over the RR GN. David Williams, Region 7 Sprint announcer, joins the Meeting. Discussion of recent PRI show. Comments that the event was great for karting. Verlengiere states that the Region 7 Sprint series management team decided to implement self validating pre-tech. States that the karts will be stickered when the self validating pre tech form is given to the tech person. Motley states that the form was discussed by a previous Board. Sharon Barros asks about redrawing the line for Region 7 and Region 11, i.e. a Region 11 club hosting Region 7 events. Verlengiere states that the club is 40 miles north of the line. Region 7 Sprint has more tracks/clubs/promoters than they have weekends for the events so they were forced to pull two supporting clubs from the program and go on the rotational system. Araki states they had more tracks that wanted to race in 2009 and some tracks had to step down. Scribner states that there are too many tracks in both Regions. Araki states the issue is the Kerman Kart Club, which hosted one of the biggest attended races, was knocked off the schedule. Villarreal 11 Photos by Jim Wittke Photo by Neil Eric Miller Photos by Jim Wittke Photo by Neil Eric Miller 12 KARTER NEWS - mARch mAR 2009 states that they had tried to realign a couple of years ago and asks what happened. Hilger states they are going to adopt where you can have two regional series in one region. Scribner feels a great club is being denied a race for a whole year. Verlengiere states that Santa Maria and Kerman were offered a date but felt that eight races were enough for a year. Discussion of realignment of Regions 7 and 11. Hilger states it will be done by the February Board Meeting. IKF Executive Director - Verlengiere feels the sport needs some form of governing, some sense of rules, and some continuity. IKF is a quiet company, maintained a Rulebook, and empowered local people at all levels to build and create the program. The environment has changed and there is more profit and opportunity out there in the different regions and at different levels of competition. All of us are part time volunteers with full time jobs. He feels they all do their best to help the IKF but feels we are at a crossroads. Feels the way we are structured, it is very difficult to grow the company. Feels that the IKF needs a person with a huge amount of energy, enthusiasm, an understanding of the sport of karting to go out there and build this company. Which means that the Board of Directors needs to step back, create a plan, share the plan with that person and create a roadmap and evaluate the progress at scheduled Board Meetings. Finding that person is the biggest problem of all; it has to be a special person. Feels that at this point in time that we need an Executive Director. In order to do that we have changed our insurance pass prices dramatically. We have been able to maintain status quo. We have got a number of tracks back, made adjustments in other areas and made ourselves competitive with other companies. We need someone to take it to the next step. It is going to cost a lot of money and once again, we are going to gamble the company because anyone with any talent is going to cost money (tied to salary and performance). The right person can create something exciting about the IKF in the karting community with people want to come to this company. Currently we don’t have that – we are working on it. We need someone to create that. Discussion of prior Executive Directors. Debbie Kuntze says they had no plan; Julie Kuntze says that KARTER NEWS - MARCH 2009 they did not have a mission statement, a goal. Verlengiere states that there is huge chaos in karting today. Agrees that there is huge opportunity to grow. Hilger says there is huge risk. Mac says they need the right agenda and the right person. Hilger says that we need to attract the Juniors. Verlengiere says there is a ton of business out there. Hilger could be gone by the time they get someone out there; they need someone to get sponsors and excite the people. Agrees that we need the right person. Debbie Kuntze states they need a job description with accountability. Verlengiere states they would share in the revenue. Mac states that they will need to understand karting.Villarreal says they need an outside source to do the interviewing. Motley agrees. Hilger states there will expense in addition to salary. Mac discusses a possible new Sprint regional program in Texas. Hilger suggests that someone meet with the track/club. Motley states the SFI Tech Director Inspection matter needs to be readdressed. Discussion of current IKF safety items. Verlengiere asks if we will have better tech people? Motley says it will make sure they know the Rulebook, it will elevate those persons interested in doing tech to a more formalized structure. Verlengiere asks if Motley comes across unqualified techs? Motley says not usually when he does it. Verlengiere asks if he is not giving them free reign. Motley replies he is absolutely correct. Araki states that every series and area has that problem, especially in the pre tech area.Discusses legal position if you only certify some safety equipment. Hilger states that there is an advantage to have SFI. Discusses certification. Motley states that other organizations certify their tech personnel. Hoegerl states that there are not enough tech people to go around. 2010 IKF Rulebook Text Editor Motion by Motley to appoint Roger Miller as the 2010 IKF Rulebook Text Editor. Second by Schorn. In Favor: Unanimous. Passed Clone Testing - Hilger states that we do not have any results of the clone engine testing at this point. There has been some engines running on dynos and waiting on parts for another. Hilger states they are still looking at it. Need more data back.Hoegerl asks what we will do when our tracks request to run the engine as a local option. Verlengiere states that we should be proactive. Hoegerl says there is a lot of excitement about this engine and asks if we are going to insure it; he thought there would be an answer at the Meeting today. Hilger says we will have to ask the insurance company. We have no National rules. Discussion of the flywheel. Engine has changed from 2008 to 2009. Tremendous problems with tech issues. Discussion of class, engine and tech issues. Hoegerl says that tracks are setting their own rules. Hilger told them to put a claimer on the engines if they are going to run at the tracks. Hoegerl felt that we would be a leader in this not a follower; people are looking for direction and someone needs to start leading. Verlengiere agrees. Hilger asks who will pay the engine fee for the clone engine. Scribner does not remember the Local Option 206 being a sealed motor. Nash states that it is supposed to be a low budget, low entry level class. Discusses seal system and recall. Board discusses the B/S L0206 class.

All Passed Verlengiere asks to speak about sponsors and the clone motors. Appreciates that there has been long time sponsors of the IKF. Companies have come along with competing products and nobody hesitated to plug them in at the expense of other people who have supported the IKF – that’s business and he accepts that. He gets the distinct feeling that we are obstructing the clone motor, he does not feel this is in our customers best interest. He may be wrong but that is the impression that he gets. Verlengiere asks where the facts and dissention are coming from - just what he sees out there. Verlengiere does not feel that it serves our members to continually put off addressing what we are going to do with those things because we feel obligated to sponsors. Hilger states that no region has come to him wanting run the clone engine. Hoegerl states that a couple of tracks in his region run it at their club races and from being at the meeting, they were told they could not ask for insurance from us to run it at their club races and definitely not at their regional events. Hilger states that he told them the only issue he had was that he would like to have a statement from the engine builder that it is a racing engine. Scribner asks if we require that from anyone else. Verlengiere feels that we are bringing undue hurdles to this company or a group of importers. The market will determine the viability of the motor. States that Hoegerl is asking for us to show some leadership to our members that want to use the product. At least address it and come up with something good. Hilger states they are addressing it at a track right now and the clone people are meeting this weekend in Iowa. Hoegerl says he fully expected the testing to be done. We knew this was going to cost us some money. He expected the guys to blow a motor up. Wanted to know where that threshold was. Verlengiere states that maybe Ralph should send the motors to RLV. Hilger says parts are on back order. Hoegerl says if they blow up one motor, we will send him another motor to test. Schorn states that he has not got his motor yet. Scribner says that it was supposed to be done and the results by this meeting; we are not progressing in the schedule that was set forth. Verlengiere states that, if the motors are a complete disaster, why are so many people running it. Asks him to consider our members and examine it. Nash suggests they do a claimer. Nash states they need some rules. Hilger states that he would be expecting some input on the clone from the 4 Cycle Tech Committee. Nash says this is the first he has heard of the clone testing. Hilger states that clone testing was discussed at the previous Board Meeting and is the Meeting Minutes. Verlengiere states that he does not want to do anything with the clone, he wants the people on this Board and the Committees that represent that end of the sport to investigate and decide. Nash states the best dyno is to put it on a go kart and run it all day long. HoeKARTER NEWS - March 2009 gerl asks if Verlengiere can send a motor to Nash for testing. Nash agrees to do the testing. Hoegerl says the members are coming to the IKF wanting to run the motors. Schorn asks why we do not adopt the AKRA rules. Hoegerl is not interested in adopting the rules today without any kind of testing. But he is interested in getting a motor to Nash. Hilger says to have Verlengiere send the motor. Verlengiere says there is a lot of momentum in the Southeast. Motion by Motley re: Section 600 2 Cycle Technical Inspection Change to read: Section 601.1 SPEC FUEL PROGRAM FOR 2 CYC.

Motley says they need to go through rfp process as before. Tabled for future discussion. Motley asks to change the date of the april board Meeting. no change done. hilger asks araki his impressions of his first board Meeting as a director. felt the process was fair, board was open minded, decisions not made based on personal feelings or personal gain. from the outside membership, there is a perception of the board being self serving. hilger says they have a voice. verlengiere states that the people do not perceive that the board listens to people. don amigliore feels that his voice is heard here. Motley says the competitor has a voice and at the event also. amigliore says they need to educate and organize. verlengiere states that the reputation of past boards being self serving was earned. a whole new concept in the last 6-8 years. amigliore states that his past perception has been you get manufacturers on the board and part of that is self serving. Maybe you want to help write the rules, help influence the board and sell your products. Then you go to the track and find that there is a tire rule or an oil rule, that seems very self serving. Those are the things that you see as a racer. in the past, look who is on the board.

The Meeting was called to order by President Hilger. Present at roll call were Directors Mr. Jack Hoegerl, Mr. John Motley, Mr. Rick Scribner, Mr. Mike Schorn, Mr. Art Verlengiere, Mr. Glenn Araki and IKF Office Manager, Pat Eldridge. Mr. Don Holmboe and Mr. Gary Richter were not present at the Meeting. 2009 Speedway Pavement Grand National Questionnaire Hilger states the questionnaire was received from Jamaica Speedway. Discussion of security deposit. Will be a Firestone only rule; they will be major sponsor of the event. Hoegerl asks Hilger if it is still the tire of choice, reply is yes. States that they will be running the same spec tire in their pavement series. Nothing new. Verlengiere asks for deposit information for the 2009 Road Race Grand National. Hilger confirms deposit received. Clarifies that the deposit remains until all paperwork and funds are finalized. Section 104.6.5 Exceptions Hilger states the IKF office received a request for an exception from a nonIKF member. The non-member participates in IKF insured events, running under IKF rules. Discussion by Board. Araki states that participants have run out of their class and it was put back on the tracks to control this from happening. Verlengiere says they are talking about moving up for age not necessarily moving from Seniors back to Juniors. Araki refers to participants moving up from Junior to Senior classes at a club race that is IKF insured and then get turned in by an IKF member later and not be moved up because he was not eligible. States that the club would take care of the problem. Hilger states that is how it was done in the past. Verlengiere asks Hilger if they are talking about a 14 year old that wants to get 18 an exemption to run as an adult. Hilger says that is correct. Araki confirms that it the same thing. Araki states it could be a 14 or 15 year old wanting to run the adult class but is not eligible at that time to race in that class. But they would do it anyway. Araki asks if the IKF Board should let each club at an IKF sanctioned track individually handle the situation. Hilger states that IKF should know if it is happening at IKF insured events. Board agrees that the non-IKF member request can be submitted for approval. Hilger asks how the wristband matter worked at CalSpeed. Clarified that wristbands were used at CalSpeed. Verlengiere states he will ask the tracks at an upcoming meeting. Araki states sign up went smoothly. Hilger informs Board of waiver information requirements from our insurance company. Recent posting on a website also discussed the importance of waivers. Hilger states his meeting regarding the Duffy casting is postponed to a later date due to bad weather. 2008 Financial Report Hoegerl states the financial report for 2008 given at the January Board Meeting indicated a small profit for the year. As a result of adjustments for depreciation of office equipment and payroll liabilities, the final report for 2008 resulted in a small net loss. Verlengiere comments “Good Job” to Hoegerl. SFI Tech Certification Hoegerl talked to Mr. Carl Olson from SFI regarding the tech certification. States SFI is very interested in putting together a 2 and 4 cycle certification program for the IKF. Their certification program runs for 2 years, expiring December 31st. The participation minimum age is 18. Olson stated he would need 3-4 weeks to assemble the test. He works out of the IKF Tech Book. He puts the test together and sends to the 2 and 4 cycle committee chairmen for them to approve and/or make any changes that need to be done. After that, it is up to the IKF to have a 2 and 4 cycle tech seminar and they administer the test during that event. The tests are sent to SFI, are graded, certifications are sent out from SFI with a SFI patch to the persons who passed the test. All their work is included in our SFI yearly sanction fee. Hoegerl states his concern is when, where and how the IKF would conduct the seminars where they felt they would get some participation to cover the expenses for the event. Sounds like there are really no hang ups to go through with this process; seems very willing and able to do it. Hilger asks if they would need to pick different locations, travel wise; Hoegerl agrees. Motley gives information to the Board regarding his previous experience doing this. Hoegerl discusses previous events with Carl Olson, i.e. stand alone events, larger events. Best participation was where there were other big events going on where the people were already there. Hoegerl states he is not looking for answers tonight but feels it can be done. His concern is the two years. Feels the best time to do it would have been at the January Board Meeting. Light weekend, rooms available. Not a lot of racing is going on at that time. Discussion of how to do in the Mid West, Hilger suggests Des Moines. Hoegerl agrees. Hoegerl has no specific dates right now. Hilger suggests a letter to engine builders to see what interest they have. Motley suggests the expiration date could be July 1st. Motley states the one he attended had more non-engine builders than engine builders; persons interested in doing it to upgrade their clubs tech. 2009 IKF Board Meeting Locations Verlengiere states the Board needs to have a Board Meeting in Sacramento this year, Seattle next year. Problems in Region 11, we need to invite people, take input, really need to go to Sacramento. Hilger states it would have to be the Fall Meeting. Scribner states it is a great idea but last year when we had a meeting in Sacramento, he made flyers, posted them at the races, handed them out in all the pits, inviting them to the Meeting, and no one showed up at the Meeting. Verlengiere asks when a change can be made, Hilger replies a change can be made after the April Meeting. Verlengiere asks the Board to think about it and decide after the next meeting. KARTER NEWS - March 2009 2009 Road Race Grand National Tire Rule Verlengiere states he did not realize the tire rule for the 2009 Road Race Grand National was approved. Motley states the only classes mandated for MG tires are the set up Sprint classes. Verlengiere asks if any Board Member cares if that is the only tire contrary to the Rulebook. Verlengiere reads Holmboe’s comments. Scribner asks what the rulebook says – reply is tires are open at the Road Race Grand National. Hilger asks if tires are open at every Grand National; replies are no. Hilger states Speedway is open but they go out and get a tire deal and tire rule. No spec tire program. Verlengiere asks who approves the tire rules. Hilger states the Board will pretty much follow what the Speedway Committee will do. States it helps the competitor because they only have to bring one brand of tire to the race. Verlengiere states that maybe it is a non-issue. Asks Hilger if the Board approved. Hilger met with them and had no problem approving it. One class over what the Rulebook allows – felt it would not be an issue. Rotax Front Brake Issue Verlengiere asks to revisit the Rotax front brake decision. Board received a letter from Jim McMillan asking to revert back to the way it was before they voted at the January Board Meeting. Motion by Verlengiere to nullify the vote re: Section 312 IKF RR GN Schedule 2009 Delete the 6th paragraph: Allow a one race exemption for the 2009 Road Race Grand National to run the TaG Light and TaG Heavy classes with optional front brakes. Second by Schorn. In Favor: Araki, Hoegerl, Motley, Schorn, Scribner, Verlengiere Absent: Holmboe, Richter Passed Verlengiere states he received a phone call regarding an announcement at the 1st Florida Winter Tour Race that the IKF was adopting the KF engine program. Verlengiere called Motley and shared this information. Motley believes the statement was the WKA and IKF were looking at KF engines. Is an accurate statement. KARTER NEWS - MARCH 2009 Clone Engine Discussion Verlengiere states he talked with Ralph Woodard and he is done with the testing. He gave the dyno sheet to Hilger. Verlengiere asks if he gave him anything to compare it with, Hilger says no. Hilger spoke with Lee about the flywheel thing. He said he had concerns with it, but thought if no one messed with anything, he thought it would be ok. It just died when it got to an upper range. Discussion of horsepower, rpm. Verlengiere asks if Terry has got back with anybody; Hilger has not heard anything. Hilger states that in his area a local track is looking into putting in a box stock clone with a moderately priced entry level kart. Verlengiere asks if we are still working on that, Hilger states that the 4 cycle technical committee is still proceeding with getting more data from additional testing. 2009 Road Race Grand National Tire Rule Hoegerl has concerns about the tires being selected for any of the Grand Nationals without going through the Board. This is totally new to him. If they come to the Board and say we have this deal, can we have a spec tire at the Grand Nationals; the Board had to approve it in the past. Asked how the Road Race deal went through. Hilger states when he went down there they could do it because no one else wanted to do Road Race. He worked a deal with them so they could have the Road Race Grand National. They felt the MG tire was the best tire for it. Scribner thinks that Hoegerl is trying to say the Board needs to formalize that because it is contrary to the Rulebook. So Mac needs to come to the Board, they need to vote on it, formalize it and post it on the website. Or, Hoegerl states, Hilger needed to bring it to the Board and tell him what he had to do to make it happen. Board will probably follow. Scribner feels it should be formalized and published on the website. Motley says it is a unique situation and the Board should support it. Motion by Verlengiere re: Approve MG Tires for specific classes at the 2009 Road Race Grand National. (Specific classes to be posted on the IKF website.) Second by Scribner. In Favor: Araki, Hoegerl, Motley, Scribner, Verlengiere Opposed: Schorn Absent: Holmboe, Richter Passed IKF Pre Tech Certification Form Motley states the pre tech form was used at the Region 7 Sprint race this past weekend. Felt it went really well, good conformance to the rules, very few issues. Explains incidents at the event. Will use inexpensive chassis tag next time to tag them once they are teched. Hoegerl asks when the tags would be put on. Motley replies they had them bring the completed paperwork to the tech area and then handed them a sticker. They will hand them an inexpensive armband with instructions on how to put them on. Suggests having plenty of spare forms at the tech area. Worked pretty well. Expected more issues with things not being in conformance. He was happy with it. Once the competitors get the swing of things, it will work well. Discussion by Araki and Motley. Motley says really thorough spot checks were done throughout the day and a lot of checking when they came through. Key was doing all the checking. KF Engines Motley asks the Board if they have been following the KF engine thread on the internet. About slowing down the TaG Leopard and Leopard Juniors then rescinded the decision. The IKF, except in a couple of regions, does not run many Junior TaGs with Junior Leopard TaGs, a handful in Region 11 and small handful in Region 6. Comments that one of the arguments for rescinding it was all of the complaints they had on the internet. States there were 6 guys who complained a lot. Was told they did it because, if you are going to slow the Leopard down, you better slow the KF3’s down as they are just as fast. He looked at that, however, the TaG Juniors were faster than the KF3’s. Feels that something will be done and appropriate the IKF should follow. Scribner and Motley discuss how to slow them down. Feels some testing was flawed. Holmboe did dyno runs for him. Wants the Board to be aware of this. 19 Experience Life in the Fast Lane Membership and Subscription Information: International Kart Federation 1609 S. Grove Ave., Ste. 105 Ontario, CA 91761 909-923-4999 www.ikfkarting.com 20 Region 6 Local Option Classes Motley states last year they ran the TaG classes in Region 6 with TaG USA rules. Was not happy as there are conflicts in the rules. For 2009, there were going to change and go to all IKF. Now they are requesting to TaG USA rules in the TaG classes in Region 6. Worse this year as TaG USA will allow the 2009 Leopard. Back to local option issue and why it is a problem/issue. Schorn explains how/why this came about. No match funds from the IKF. Discussion of 2009 Leopard, which is not IKF approved. Motley states the PRD Spec class had a tremendous turnout at the Region 7 Sprint race. And entrants came back on Sunday for the regular TaG Class. Schorn asks about the weight break for the PRD in TaG USA. Section 104.6.5 Exception Araki asks if the Board needs to set some type of guidelines for the approval process. Have received requests where they are not of age according to the Rulebook. Needs to be within the 12 month period of their age group. New process they are encountering. Need to set guidelines on who they approve and who they not approve. Discussion of current exception requests. Araki states that in certain senior sprint classes the competitor has to be competition age 16, not attained age 15. Verlengiere gives history of the reasons for the exceptions. Araki gives example to Board. Lengthy discussion by Board. Verlengiere suggests the Exception Request include the classes they want to move up in. Send to Committee for verification. Board agrees. Race Scheduling Scribner states Region 5 Speedway scheduled two regional races on two different tracks on the same day. Was told the promoters were fine with it but he asks how the karters feel about this. Hoegerl states this was done in the past for several years. Region has 18-20 races a year, hard not to have a race on the same night. At the regional meeting, the promoters did not have a problem with it. Understands the concern about the participants. Unless they are given direction that they cannot do it, it will probably happen again. Hilger states he was at the regional meeting and argued the point, but they want to have all of their punch races in June before the Grand National because they want their punches. After the Grand National, they don’t care about the punches. Hilger had one complaint –they don’t travel. His problem was with one track allowing both IKF and non-IKF members on the track at a regional race. Hoegerl tells Scribner that he can send an email or newsletter out to tell them to stop doing this. Hoegerl says it has happened for many years and the promoters do not seem to care. Schorn suggests Scribner send an email to approve this time but they should start working to not have regional races on the same date. Scribner and Hoegerl agree. Hilger says the regional coordinator argued the point too but it fell on deaf ears. Hoegerl states that it should be forwarded to the coordinators and governors and they will make every attempt not to do it next year. Scribner states that he gets the regional series in all kinds of formats and is hard to figure out. Wants to develop a form for next year so everyone submits their schedule on a standardized form. Hoegerl states that the tracks want to have their races before the Nationals because their turnout is very small after the Nationals. Hilger says it keeps the racers at their local tracks to get their punches instead of traveling somewhere else before the Nationals. Section 716 Schorn discusses Section 716.16.3. Scribner states he received a call regarding this. Hoegerl asks Schorn if this came from Terry Nash; Schorn says he discussed this with Terry. Terry asked him to poll the committee members and he gave Terry the information. Verlengiere comments to Hoegerl that he hates doing things like this. He received the information this afternoon. Has not been able to make any phone calls. Schorn states that he polled the Committee Members; he did not talk to Lee Miller or Syd White. Terry talked to Syd about it. The rest of the Committee Members were in agreement. Mike Alton said Lee Miller wanted to do this also. Talked to Andy Bear and couple of other engine builders, WKA trustees – all of the same opinion. Hoegerl asks about people that have built their KARTER NEWS - March 2009 motors by the rules as printed now – Schorn replies they are still legal. Hoegerl states it is the perception of how much horse power one makes over the other. Schorn states zero difference in the Seniors, 2/10ths of a hp in the Juniors, can make that up in tires. Schorn makes it easier for the home builder. Araki asks for and Schorn gives a history of the rule. Discussion by Board. Motion by Scribner to accept the recommendation of Mike Schorn and Terry Nash re: Section 716.16.3 Valve Length Change to read: Minimum intake and exhaust valve length is 3.250”. Second by Schorn. In Favor: Araki, Motley, Schorn, Scribner Opposed: Verlengiere Abstain: Hoegerl Absent: Holmboe, Richter Passed 2009 Road Race Grand National Classes Schorn states they are going to run two World Formula classes if enough entries come, asks if they have a cut off date. Hilger states they were not on the original list of classes. Schorn states some local racers called him and said the classes were not on the list. Asked what they need to do to get it run. Told them to sponsor the class and put money in for it. Does not know what happened since then. Schorn states that not all of them know it is spec tires now, that might change their idea also. Schorn will support whatever they want to do; just needs to know what it is. Hilger states that. if the promoter does not feel that he will get enough entries, he should not be forced to run the class if he can drop it. Schorn wants to know what the cut off date is. Hilger does not know. Hilger will talk to Jim McMillan. TaG Engine Motley states that next years TaG engines will be the same as this years TaG engines as they were approved through 2010. Verlengiere states his reference was to the KF Motor. Motley is not proposing anything on that; just keep in mind as potentially a solution to the problem they have with the current TaG Motors. Those motors are highly controlled in terms of what can be done on them as opposed to open. Basically KARTER NEWS - MARCH 2009 why he brought that up. Thought for a change we could look at things more than a year in advance. Verlengiere is not opposed to looking at it but would like to let someone else guinea pig out there for a change. Motley says there will be plenty of guinea pigging. They have been running internationally now for the third year. Verlengiere states they had tabled a decision. Motley says they will continue to look at it, monitor it and see what changes are made. Verlengiere agrees. Director Position RFP Hilger states he had not yet received Board discusses the RFP for tires. 2009 a formal resignation letter from Gary 2 Cycle Sprint Grand National Race Richter. Discussion of possible appoin- Director tees by Board. Motley suggested the race director be someone from out of the area. Scribner 2009 Road Race Grand National Tech Direc- asks what we need to do. Schorn states tor the Board needs to approve it. VerlengiDiscussion by Board re: Tech Director ere feels, like any other division, it is for the event. Motley spoke with Jim extremely volatile to have someone that McMillan today. McMillan requested close to home; absolutely agrees it is a Motley for the event; also wants him to problem. Schorn offers to do it. Scribbe in charge of tech for the event. Mot- ner asks Verlengiere to do it, he says no. ley accepts the appointment as Tech Discussion by Board of possible Race Director for the 2009 Road Race Grand Directors for the event. Board to conNationals. tinue to work on this. Redraw Region 7/11 Lines Scribner states it is not time to do this. Scribner, Araki and the Region 11 Coordinator had a meeting 2-3 weeks ago to identify problems, laid out some possible fixes for next year; it is still a work in progress. Wants to see the race season progress a little bit to see what the mood is, what kind of participation they are getting, etc. before they make any drastic moves to redraw the lines. Scribner tables this matter to the September Board Meeting. This is Karting Brochure Hilger reminds the Board to get their updates to Felton, with a copy to Pat. 2009 Grand National T-Shirts from Promoters Hoegerl asked about the IKF logo on the shirts. Clarified the logo is to be 3” x 4” on the left hand side of the shirt. Motion to Adjourn by Verlengiere. Second by Scribner.

TAYLOR MIINCH VICTORIOUS IN IKF ACTION Californian scores three poles, three victories and four podiums. February 12, 2009 – 14-year-old Taylor Miinch had a successful event this past weekend at the International Kart Federation (IKF) Region 7 race as the 28 Top Kart driver scored three victories and four podiums. Along with the final results, Miinch also scored three pole positions as he started his West coast karting action off in fine form. Saturday: With a dual race day format, Miinch would participate in both the Yamaha Junior Super Sportsman and HPV 2 divisions in both Saturday and Sunday’s action. Looking to continue the momentum from his triple Duffy win last season, Miinch started the IKF season off in fine form as he scored the pole position in the Yamaha division. Miinch progressed through the heat race, taking the checkered flag over the field of drivers. As the rain continued to fall for the final, Miinch made it a perfect day by taking the main event victory by more than 14 seconds Looking to continue his Yamaha success in HPV 2, Miinch narrowly missed the pole and would start inside the second row in the third position. Looking to improve throughout the day, Miinch did so as he led the final until late in the race. Looking to score his second victory of the day, Miinch’s process was impeded by a kart that cut the track. With officials not having a direct view of the incident, Miinch had to settle for a second place result and his second podium of the day. Sunday: Happy with Saturday’s results, Miinch came out of the box on Sunday morning looking for more. With the rain falling throughout Saturday’s action, Sunday looked to be the same as early morning showers forced rain tires back on the kart for qualifying. Looking at ease behind the wheel of his P1 Engines powered Top Kart, Miinch went on to score the pole position in both classes of competition. HPV 2 was a carbon copy of Saturday’s Yamaha Junior Super Sportsman final as Miinch took the lead early and never looked back. The talented Californian turned some of the fastest laps of the event showing true consistency to draw away from the strong field to take his second victory of the weekend. Next on the docket was the Yamaha division where Miinch was again the kart to beat. Getting knocked off the track early; Miinch had to take evasive action to get back on course all while being careful not to advance his position. Working hard, Miinch worked his way through the field and to the lead. The consistent pilot got into another one of his unbeatable rhythms and drew away from the field to score his third victory of the weekend and a sweep in the Yamaha Junior Super Sportsman class. Taylor will enjoy one weekend off before traveling across the country to Florida. Looking to keep his momentum rolling at the Homestead Karting Complex, Miinch will do battle in the TaG Junior and KF3 divisions at the Florida Winter Tour. Taylor would like to thank his current sponsors: Grand Products, Top Kart, PKS Kart Supply, Douglas Wheel, Crystal Cleaners, P1 Engines, Whisler Racing Services, Holeshot Drive Systems, Jon Dell Construction, Charlie's Hub Caps, Image On Trak, Race Tech Development, On Track Promotions and Wrangler BBQ.
