LEAGUE RACING AT HKC
SEE Information about the series and a link to register below.
Event Details:
League Races are broken up into 4 seasons, with 5 races per season, with your top 4 scores counting towards each season. If you race all 5 races, your race with the lowest score is dropped. Each season is awarded a champion in each class, along with a overall champion for each class for all 4 seasons combined.
Each Race Event will consist of 2 sessions - a 7-10 minute qualifying session scored by best lap time and a 20-35 lap final race scored by finishing position. Qualifying session sets the grid for the final.
League Races utilize all 4 track configurations, utilizing each one once per season, and one track twice per season:
Regular Track (Counter Clockwise) Full, Reverse Track Full, Short Track, Short Track Reverse. Short track configuration links turns 2 and 5 direct, skipping the turn 2 & 3 hairpins, as well at turn 4.
The first time each track configuration is ran per season, qualifying is 10 minutes, with a 20 lap final for full course configurations and a 30 lap final for short course configurations. For any configuration that is ran for the second time in a season, qualifying is 7 minutes, with a 23 lap final for full course configurations and a 35 lap final for short course configurations.
Karts are randomly drawn before each session. If you draw the same kart for the final that you had in qualifying, you are allowed to redraw if you do not want to race the same kart.
No kart swapping or requests are allowed.
Any kart mechanical issues must be brought to the race director’s attention prior to the drop of the green flag or no changes can be made. (to get their attention put your arm up in the air and stop where you are while in the grid or during the formation lap. A mechanical issue is defined as a safety or mechanical issue that will prevent your kart from completing the race).

fLAGS/CODE OF CONDUCT
Racing flags will be used for the event.
All racers must abide by the flags.
Ignoring flags will cause your disqualification of the race (no refund will be given) Flags:
Green Flag: Start of the race, restart after a full course yellow.
Yellow Flag:
Local yellow (flag hand held flat) - slow down in close proximity to the flag, no passing in that area.
Full course yellow (flag waving) - slow down for the whole track, no passing, get in formation. Red Flag: Race is stopped, stop where you are on track until notified to move.
Black Flag: The black flag will be pointed at you for unnecessary bumping or overly aggressive blocking. (This will be determined by the corner workers or race director) This is considered your first warning.
If the behavior continues, the black flag may be waived and pointed at you. If you receive a waving black flag, you must acknowledge the flag by putting your hand up then return to the pit lane for the remainder of that race. ( no refund will be given)
Blue Flag: A faster driver is behind you or you are about to be lapped, you need to provide racing room for them to pass.

dRIVING sTANDARDS
Driving standards shall be outlined to deem what’s expected by drivers competing in these events. Drivers are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner on and off the race track, the Karts are not battering rams, moving road blocks or off road vehicles. This is an environment for people to enjoy road racing at its most grassroots level. We at HKC aim to provide a safe, fun and family friendly environment for competition.
Aggressive/Excessive Contact: Excessive contact is not tolerated. Drivers shall not push another kart off track, off a racing line or in any way use the kart to aggressively force another driver out of the way. Drivers should be aware that if there is contact that results in a change of position, the kart at fault may be penalized for the incident according to the race director’s discretion. A goodwill way to lessen the penalty would be to return the position.
Blocking: You get one move off of the racing line. Blocking is defined in this racing series as more than one move from the preferred racing line.
Unsafe Driving: Any driver deemed to be cutting the course or somehow gaining an advantage driving in a way the race director seems unsafe may receive a penalty.
It should be noted again that the race director can issue a penalty during or after the race for any one of these outlined offences or any other he or she sees necessary to protect the safety, and spirit of competition of the series.
