Public karting days are Come’n’Try days that are put on to introduce karting to the general public. The following guidelines are put in place to ensure the safety of everyone and to make sure everyone has a fun time. Summary of Guidelines: - AKA (Australian Karting Association) Officials must supervise all activities.
- Drivers of the age 7-10 years are restricted to karts complying with the Midget Class.
- Drivers of the age 11-12 years are restricted to karts complying with the Rookie Class.
- All other Drivers are restricted to either a Endurance Kart as defined for use in Chapter 51 or Yamaha 100cc motors, specifically the Yamaha "J", Yamaha KT l00S and Yamaha SEC engines. These motors must conform to their chapter in the current AKA manual. Any other motor will need to be of equal or less or performance and be homologated with the AKA.
- Seniors and Juniors are not to be on the track at any one time. Midgets/ Rookies can be combined.
- AKA licensed drivers are not permitted on the track at the same time as non-licensed drivers.
- Drivers must be given a briefing on safety (including flags) immediately prior to the start of the race or promotion.
- Drivers must wear race suits, properly fitted helmets, gloves and appropriate footwear.
- “Drivers must read / have explained the wording of the Indemnity on the form provided, and then acknowledging the terms and conditions, must sign the document.”
- If a driver is under 18 years of age, the driver and guardian must sign both the entry form and indemnity form.
- A maximum of three (3) karts, but preferably two (2) karts are to be on the track at any one time.
- Karts are to be at staggered intervals around the track.
- These guidelines apply to those events which are absolutely free. If any charge is applied, then the club must apply to the Chief Executive Officer.
Note: * There is no cover under AKA's Personal Accident Policy for non- licensed drivers. * Clubs conducting activities outside these guidelines may find themselves without the protection of the AKA insurance program.
