Reminder: quite a few drivers risk losing their Championship place if their club duty isn’t completed, we don't yet have five drivers in Junior Heavy who have met the requirement 🤯😭. Email the club urgently to get yours done.

Several positions are also still undecided now that worst rounds are being dropped from the on-track results. Check the website for the full details.

Junior Development Program- Drivers Quiz - Part 2

Ok Novice Rookie and Junior Drivers parents, test your racer's knowledge with this quiz. Any that you're not sure of, either refer to the KNSW rule book, or contact me.

6) The race is in start formation, and as you enter the start straight the kart in front of you moves to the middle of the 2 lanes before the light goes green. Can you go behind that kart and sit in between the 2 lanes as well?

7) You are on pole position in a race. You head out of the pits. Where should you begin to slow down and allow the other karts to start forming up behind you?

8) Safety is a priority at SIKC race meetings. If an Official tags your kart to be scrutineered after a race, a) what is the purpose of that, and b) should you be upset as some children do become?

9) If an Official points something out to you to improve your racing safety, yet someone in your 'team' tells you not to listen to him/her, who should you pay attention to?

10) Here's a different one. Race day is over, would it be good manners of you to give up 5 minutes and go and thank any officials you can see for giving up their day/weekend so you could race? If your answer is YES, then will you do that at the next race?

Well, how did you go? Most answers are in the KNSW rule book, or feel free to contact me and discuss any of the questions.

See you at the track,

Gary.

Junior Development Program- Drivers Quiz - Part 1

Ok Novice Rookie and Junior Drivers parents, test your racer's knowledge with this quiz. Any that you're not sure of, either refer to the KNSW rule book, or contact me.

1) You are going to leave the track and be entering the in grid for whatever reason. How do you let other drivers know, and, where should you position your kart on the track?

2) The Grid Marshal gives you the signal to head out on track. Can you weave your kart from side to side to heat your tyres while still in the out grid area?

3) You realise while waiting on the grid for your race to start, that you are low on fuel. Can your mechanic tip more fuel in to your tank on the out grid?

4) In your race, the kart in front isn't going as fast as you want to. Is it ok to ram him/her hard from behind to let them know you are there?

5) If your kart breaks down, or runs off the track and won't go, what should the driver do?

Well, how did you go? Most answers are in the KNSW rule book, or feel free to contact me and discuss any of the questions.

'Extension' Karting questions coming tomorrow.

See you at the track,

Gary
