No, you will be pushed by one of your team to the fuel bay and out of the fuel bay.

Good Idea Dan,

I’ll get something up tonight. However all of the series dates are on the right hand side of the front page, under :- RHPK 2016 FIXTURES

Are these what you mean?

[Mark]

Elliot,

Your not alone at all, all of our team struggled to get the right line. The bump this month round seemed to be more aggressive compared to what it was like in the Winter Cup. Last year I used to monster the kerb, it was bumpy but felt right – Now I still can’t tell you what I’m doing!

Personally I think there needs to be a proper flat kerb there.

Hi Ian,

The rules for the tank state they must not exceed 7.5 liters. Most off the shelf Pro-Kart central tanks should suit. Just ensure they are no larger than 7.5 liters.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Kev,

Good topic! Something which does need clarifying.

So last year was probably one of the closest seasons we’ve had in years, races being won by tenths rather than seconds/laps. During certain races there was increasing pressure for the track to clamp down on teams who we thought were abusing the quick push down the pits.

Given how tight it was in the Championship all the way down the field the track took action. Was this the right action? – in hindsight probably not, however they needed to take action. In reality the track could not walk everyone down the pits and therefore caused more inconsistencies.

This year, Kelvin Nicholls will be part of our Championship and will hopefully mature and enforce the rules we currently have in place.

So, 2016. *To be confirmed in drivers briefing..

– Driver places his hand up just before going into the pits and to drive off the track on the left hand side.
– Driver comes to a complete stop at the weighbridge cones and to proceed by the Weigh bridge Marshall.
– Driver stops on the weighbridge until instructed to move on.
If you are underweight, the Marshall will push you back off the weighbridge, ensure the scales are reading 0.00 and the driver is free to drive back on.
– Once instructed, drive off the weighbridge turn the corner (Allowing engine power) and to turn both engines off before/at the sign post. Another team member must push your kart into the fuel bay (to the right) where the driver has to fully vacate the seat. Unless the driver is fully out of the seat and ready to hold the nozzle – no fuel will be added.
– Once fueled, the driver is then required to get back into the seat and screw the fuel cap tightly whilst the other team member is pushing the kart *Only one team member is allowed to push the kart from the weigh bridge to the driver change spot*
– Driver change can take place and engines on.

Any weight issues need to be discussed with the Clerk of the course immediately.

Hi Danny,

Great to hear from you! Thanks for the comments on the website. I’ve just noticed that the site is missing the Rules and Regulations! I’ll be sure to get these up tonight – this will give you a real overview of what is required for the series.

Do you run wets?
Yes, Obviously the option is up to the team. There have been occasions if the weather is very poor that the track enforce that all teams start on the wet tyre for safety reasons.

Do you hire transponders?
Yes, When booking up make sure you make the track aware that you need one.

Do we need fully enclosed chain guards?
No, normal guards will be permitted – so long as they cover the length of the chain.

Do we need to get our number registered now (and what color)?
I can assign you a number, as you’ve not raced with RHPK before we will assign you in Clubman. White numbers with a Green background – this number needs to be on the front, back and both sides of the kart.

The numbers reflect where each team have finished in the previous season, Super are 1-30 Clubman 30-60.

HRS Racing will be allocated Clubman Number :- 47

Do we provide our own fuel?
Yes, A full Gerry can is required and to be handed in before the start of the race, typically before 12pm. Obviously morning practice to be covered by each team.

Can we enter round 1?
Yes, yes & yes! 🙂

Please let me know if you have any further questions, like I said – I’ll get the rules and regulations uploaded asap.

Look forward to seeing you guys!
Mark
