2024 Rules Committee
The OVKA Rules Committee will meet online on Wednesday November 8th at 7pm at the link on the Board Meeting Page at OVKA.com. In preparation, please send any suggestions for rules updates to our Race Director at: dylancradlebaugh@gmail.com or as Direct Messages to the OVKA facebook page.
***In your suggestions for modified rules, please take the time to include the existing referenced rule number from the 2023 rulebook wherever applicable.***
This committee took the time in 2022 to clean up quite a lot of the language in the rulebook before 2023. Our hope is that we will only need to focus on minor revisions this upcoming year.
TENTATIVE OVKA 2024 Schedule
As discussed in this month's Board Meeting, here is the TENTATIVE 2024 OVKA Schedule. We've worked hard to factor in your feedback from this season, while also providing off-weekends for practice and family events between nearly every points race on the calendar. Here are the highlights:
CHARITY RACE: will be moved to the Spring, the day after Karting 101. This will act as a great Warm-Up Race for everyone to get used to the new track surface and dial in their setups.
NIGHT RACES: three Night Race dates (5/18, 6/8, and 8/3)
DOUBLE HEADERS: two double-header weekends (6/22-23, and 7/20-21)
MEMORIAL CHAMPIONSHIP RACE: 7/6-7
G&J Kartway Repave: UPDATE
Congratulations to G&J Kartway on the completion of the major paving work and thank you for arranging for these upgrades for 2024! We also want to thank Wagner Paving Inc. for their fine work and dedicated efforts this week.
While we know many of you are excited to get out to test the new surface, G&J Kartway remains CLOSED while work is fully finished on the track and we allow time for the asphalt to cure. The track surface is still very fresh, and hot, sticky racing tires can risk pulling the asphalt apart if not given the proper time to fully set. Allowing a healthy curing period well into this winter will protect against premature damage and guarantee a longer useful life for the new track surface.
We will work with G&J Kartway to announce the official re-opening date for practive when it is appropriate, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding in helping to protect the significant investment that has gone into this project.
As always, keep up to date on all of our social media channels, as well as OVKA.com!
