About Innisfil Kart Club
Innisfil Kart club is a non-profit club that is directed by a governing
board. The Board Members hold a one-year term. Our mission statement
is “Promoting Competition and Sportsmanship through Motorsports in a
fun, non-partisan environment.”
Innisfil Kart Club uses the Innisfil Indy as its home track. It is located
east of Hwy 11 off Hwy 89, on 2006 Gilford Rd. The track owners, Tony
and Rose Launi, built a new high speed, technically challenging track in
2004. The track length was increased in 2006, and is now bidirectional
and has several different layouts.
Our racing season starts in April with a training day for our young and
new members, and ends in October with an Enduro Race and BBQ. We
usually have a 12 race season with drivers competing for points towards
a championship. Members also enjoy traveling to other tracks in Ontario to race.
At Innisfil Kart club, we race under most conditions, including light snow,
rain, or sunshine. For safety precautions, rain tires are required under
rain conditions. We have an electronic timing system to allow a proper
qualifying session and safe starts. As we are an ASN affiliated club, we
enjoy the benefits of the standardized rules, racing insurance, a safety
inspected track and a regulated organizational body.
Championship Awards
The top 3 of each recognized class will be awarded championship
trophies. The top 1 will also receive a jacket.
Race Day Awards
Race day awards will be presented at the end of the day based on
finishing positions in the finals. Trophies and/or medallions will be
awarded to the top 3 for all junior classes and the top 3 for all novice and
top 3 for senior classes.

It is the driver’s responsibility to complete the Pre-Tech Form and bring
it to registration on race day. Any member, who has not handed in their
Pre-Tech Form, may be subject to a fine or disqualification from the

Timing and Scoring
Timing and Scoring will utilize a transponder system. Each kart
must be equipped with an approved transponder mounting bracket.
Transponders must be mounted as per ASN rules, on the back of the
seat, 25 cm +/- 5 cm from ground level. Minor offset from the center of
the seat is permitted. (Avoid weight being too close to the placement for
better reading). Transponder mounts can be purchased at registration for
$15.00.
Loss or damage of a transponder will incur a cost of $375.00 to
the driver/entrant. By participating in an event, the driver/entrant
accepts that $375.00 represents the replacement cost of the
transponder.
The driver/entrant will be considered to be “Not in Good Standing”
until the transponder has been found and returned or until the $375.00
has been paid to Innisfil Indy Karting. The driver/entrant irrevocable
authorizes the Innisfil Kart Club to retain the driver’s competition
license until full payment has been made.
Qualifying Procedures/Race Format
Start positions for the pre-final will be determined by the times recorded
during official qualifying. The Novice Class will have 2 pre-finals, and
a final.
Grid positions for qualifying will be determined by random order. Karts
-7-
Go Kart Rules 2016.indd 8
2016-04-13 4:27 PM
that are not ready to enter the track when signaled to, will forfeit their
position and will not be allowed to enter the track until all other karts
have done so. Start positions for the final will be based on finishing
positions of the pre-final. Notwithstanding the above:
“Rookies” will start at the back of the grid for the pre-final and final
for their first 3 races, unless they have attended training day and then
will start at the back for the pre-final only for their first 3 races.
A non-member entering a race on the last 3 scheduled race dates of the
season, or a club member who first races in a class (as a member) in
any of the last 2 scheduled race dates of the season, will be required to
start at the back of the grid for the pre-final and final race.
Warm Up Laps/Formation Lap
The number of warm up laps will be decided by the Race Director and
will be announced on the grid. Drivers who rail to maintain their official
grid position during the warm up lap are permitted to regain their grid
position prior to arriving at the formation line on the track during the
final warm up lap, only if this does not impede other drivers. Drivers who
fail to do so, or who fail to maintain their official grid position between
the formation line and the start signal, must drop back to the rear of
the filed for the start of the race. If a driver stops for any reason on the
formation lap, they will not be allowed to try and restart again until they
have been passed by the entire field. For all classes, drivers are allowed
to try and restart their kart in accordance with ASN TR10.11.
Race Start
The start of the race will be signaled by the starter at the start/finish
line, by the waving of the green flag. To be considered a race starter, or
to compete in a race, a qualified kart/driver must enter the race before
the field has completed 1 green flag lap. Karts that do not comply with
this Regulation shall be classified as Did Not Start (DNS). A driver that
has qualified for a starting position, but does not start the scheduled
race, shall not receive any qualifying or racing points. (As per ASN
Canada FIA 2016 Regulations 11.6 A and B).
Stopped Karts on the Track
Drivers are required to follow the instructions of the officials and
marshals. Karts may be recovered by the officials and taken to the scale
area. Karts will not normally be recovered until after a race is over.
-8-
Go Kart Rules 2016.indd 9
2016-04-13 4:27 PM
Crew members/family members are NOT permitted to recover a
kart from the track at any time unless permission is granted by an
official. A $50.00 fine may be applied to violators. Provided it can
be performed safely, and unless instructed otherwise by a race official,
the driver (alone) may repair the kart on the course during a practice,
qualifying session, heat, or race. Except as otherwise provided for in
the regulations, the driver must not receive any physical assistance
restarting their kart. (Novice drivers will receive assistance from a
corner worker only, when it is safe to do so). The driver is responsible
for moving the kart to a safe area and ensuring that they and the kart
remain in a place of safety for the entire running of the race or session.
Drivers must keep their helmets on at all time on the course.
End of Session Procedures
At the end of qualifying and race sessions, drivers must go to the scale
area and weigh in. Drivers who fail to weigh in following a qualifying or
pre-final session will be disqualified and will start at the back for the
next session of that day. Drivers who fail to weigh in after the final will
receive last place points. Karts that break down on the track, should be
brought to the scales to be weighed in order to receive the appropriate
points for where you have finished. Once you take the green flag, you
are required to go through the scales.
Flag System
Innisfil Kart Club will use the flags and flag signals set out in ASN SR11
with the following modifications:
“Blue with Red X” will not be used
“Yellow with Red Stripes” will not be used
All flags, including the blue flag, may be used in practice, qualifying and
racing. In addition to the other penalties that may be assessed, failure to
obey a blue flag during qualifying may result in the loss of the driver’s
fastest time.
Procedure to Stop a Race
Races will be stopped in accordance with ASN SR 10.12(c) and the red
flag will be displayed by the starter and possibly each flag station, but
with the following modification:
On first seeing the Red Flag it is the responsibility of all drivers to
-9-
Go Kart Rules 2016.indd 10
2016-04-13 4:27 PM
immediately slow down, stop racing, no passing is allowed, exercise
extreme caution and pull to the side of the track and STOP as soon
as it is safe to do so. Except in an emergency, drivers should not get
out of their karts until signaled to do so by a race official. Drivers should
keep their helmets on at all times while on the course, unless otherwise
instructed by an official.
Wet Race
If the Race Director declares the race to be a Wet Race, all karts on dry
tires will be allowed 15 minutes to change to wet tires. It is the competitor’s
responsibility to ensure they do not damage the technical inspection
marking on any set of tires that has previously been painted.
When changing tires, competitors must comply with ASN TR 7(a, b, c). If
a race is started in the dry, and it starts to rain on all or part of the course
prior to the completion of 50% of the scheduled race length, the Race
Director is empowered to use procedures for stopping/restarting a race in
the ASN Sporting Regulations. Such a decision is not subject to Appeal.
If a race is restarted, 15 minutes shall be allowed for changing to wet
tires. If a race is started as a wet race and the track dries to such an
extent that it is, in the opinion of the Race Director, inappropriate
to continue to race on wet tires, the Race Director shall invoke the
procedures for stopping/restarting a race in these regulations. Such a
decision is not subject to Appeal.
Drivers are not allowed to keep their visors open during racing. In the
case of rain, a driver may crack their visor slightly.
Re-entry to Track
Competitors who exit from the track during a race will not be permitted
to re-enter the track during that session or race. If a driver does so
during qualifying, they will lose their best time, and during a race, will be
DQ’d. This DQ will not be allowed to be used as a drop.
Pit Lane
Competitors are prohibited from driving through the track exit lane
without stopping. A driver must stop and switch off their engine before
reaching the weigh-in area containing the scales. The engine shall not be
restarted until it is back in the drivers paddock area.

Technical Protests
If a driver takes issue with another driver’s engine, the complaining
driver will fill out a protest sheet and file it along with $250.00 to the
Club President. The engine will then be sent to ASN to be tech’d. If the
engine proves to be illegal, the complaining driver will receive their
$250.00 back. The owner/driver of the illegal engine will pay a $250.00
fine to Innnisfil Kart Club. The member will be considered to be “Not in
Good Standing” until the $250.00 penalty is paid in full.
Race Restart
If in the first corner of the green flag lap 25% of the file wrecks, the
race must be restarted.
Note
In order to achieve the 55 competitor ruling to make a recognized
championship, IKC and CKC encourages all racers to compete in the final
race of the season. The final race of the season cannot be used as a
drop.
President can use discretion regarding change of engine size to
compensate for heavyweight driver.
Additional Tire Rule
Tires used for qualifying, (either wet or dry) will be deemed the tires
to be used for the pre-final race and final race on race day. However
the Race Director will have the authority to allow all four tires to be
changed due to weather conditions. With permission from the Race
Director, a onetime change can be granted to the driver to change only
one out of four tires. Tire to be replaced must be a used tire. Any driver
that changes tires without permission will be disqualified.

SUPPLEMENTAL SPORTING APPENDIX FOR ALL BRIGGS LO206 CLASSES
In order to maintain a level playing field for members and guests, IKC members adopt a CLAIMING RULE
FOR BRIGGS & STRATTON LO206 CLASSES. The claiming rule has been very successful at clubs across Ontario
and continues to foster growth in the grass roots 4-cycle classes.
1.
Competitors making a claim at an event must be entered in the affected class. They may only claim an
engine within their entered class with a maximum of two claims throughout the calendar season. A
competitor, or representative thereof, cannot claim their own engine. A claimed engine CANNOT be
re-claimed by the original owner in the same season.
2.
The competitor making a claim must give written notice to the Event Technical Director prior to the
display of the chequered flag of the class final race and must include payment in full.
3.
The price, payable to TL Motorsports, to claim an engine is:
a)
b)
c)
d)
$675.00,
plus a $150.00 transfer fee,
plus a $225.00 administrative fee,
Total - $1,050.00 plus HST.
4.
There can only be one claim on an engine at an event. The first fully completed claim is the only claim.
IKC will hold the claim money until the claimed engine has been inspected for legality. Inspection of
claimed engine is according to the ASN Briggs & Stratton regulations and MAY NOT be waived by any
party.
5.
The claimed engine will be tagged as soon as it comes across the scales and will be immediately taken
to the IKC Technical Director for inspection and remain in IKC’s possession throughout the entire
process. Both claimer and claimed have the option to be present at the time of inspection. The
decision by the IKC Technical Director is final and binding and no further action can be taken by any
party.
6.
If the claimed engine is found to be legal:
a) The claimed engine will be awarded to the claimer.
b) The claimer will receive any and all items which are found in a sealed LO206 box.
c) All external components are subject to inspection but will be returned to the claimed party.
d) Innisfil Indy will award the claimed party a NEW LO206 in a factory sealed box,
plus a $150.00 transfer fee.
7.
If the claimed engine is found to be illegal:
a) The Tech Director must confiscate ALL illegal parts and related parts from the claimed
engine.
b) The Claimer has the option to void the claim if engine is found illegal and claim money less
the administrative fee will be returned to the person filing the claim.
8.
Refusal of claim, destroying or withholding of parts, or any other lack of cooperation in this claim or
inspection process will be interpreted as an admission that the engine is illegal and may subject the
driver to further penalties by IKC officials.
9.
IKC Officials may make alternative concessions if a particular situation justifies it.
10.
This Claiming Rule is subject to change at the discretion of IKC Officials. Any change in this rule will be
posted on-line in accordance with our Rules and Regulations.
