REMINDER FOR ALL RACERS:

Points Race #1 is less than TWO WEEKS AWAY, and it will be mandatory for ALL KARTS to pass through safety Pre-tech at that time. INCLUDING RETURNING MEMBERS AND ANYONE WHO WAS CHECKED AT KARTING 101.

The example Pre-Tech form can be found at OVKA.com/rules if you need it for reference.

We expect everyone who attended Karting 101 to have any issues we may have pointed out with their kart fixed for Race #1.

If you need Pre-Safety Drilled Bolts, you can look at places like CometKartSales.com

If you need new hardware to safety drill yourself, websites like McMaster.com have a huge selection of bolt lengths and styles, as well as nuts, clips, and pins to fit your specific installations.

Many of our new racers went across the scales for the first time on Saturday and learned how much weight they need to add for the season. Follow the guidelines in the OVKA Rulebook as you install your weights. WE WILL BE POLICING THIS HEAVILY AS IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM.

If you have any questions at all please reach out to us and our membership here and on the OVKA Discord. We will be happy to help.get you the supplies and advice you need to be successful.

We're excited to get the points season rolling in two weeks and will see you at the track!
