We are asking club members who plan on attending to please bring a dish to share. The theme will be "tailgate food"!

Attached below is a link to the sign up spreadsheet where you can write your name and what food you are bringing so that we can avoid people bringing the same things.

[11/05/19]   Due to schedule conflicts, our board meeting will be moved to next Tuesday, November 12th @ 6pm

[10/02/19]   After a lengthy discussion the SKRA Board of Directors has made the decision regarding the annual “Fun Race” this coming Sunday 10/6. Because of the early winter weather, temperatures in the 30's forecasted for this this weekend, and the lower kart counts, it has been decided to cancel the event.

We will be closing the facility this coming Sunday 10/6, as we do so we will be opening the track for anyone looking to turn a few more laps before the snow starts to fall. The track will open at 11 AM. Please come and lend a hand to close the facility.

[09/16/19]   Hey everyone, the track is going to be open for practice tomorrow 3-5pm.

[07/08/19]   Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great 4th of July!

As some of you know we have our annual night race on the schedule for Saturday, August 17th.

Because of the costs associated with setting up the lights, we need to get an idea of who plans on being there. If we don’t have enough interest it doesn’t make sense for us to go through with it and we’ll just do a day race instead.

This will really help us out, so if you wouldn’t mind, please click below if you think you will or will not be there.

[06/28/19]   Due to scheduling conflicts the track clean up scheduled for Sunday 6/30 has been canceled. The track will be open tomorrow 6/29 for practice and next Saturday as scheduled.

Northwest Karting Association ICP Cup

If you are not going change your plans. Be part of history in the NW!

We would finally like to answer the question most of you have been asking...

"What has been the biggest NWKA (Gold Cup) race in history?"

We didn't know. So we started doing some research. In 1995 there was a race prior to the Grand Nationals that had 350 entries over two the day event.

As of yesterday when the pre-registration closed there were 352 entries for the two days. With drivers still signing up we believe we will be close to 400 entries for the weekend.

THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING HISTORY!!!!!

Engine Update from TAG USA

Attention Racers: TAG USA Engine Update

Northwest Karting Association ICP Cup

As we near the 160 pre-entry mark we want to remind every one the verify they have their Le-Cont Slicks and Rain Tires. Do not assume kart shops will have them at the track.

Attn Racers.

Attention Racers.

Due to a restriction imposed by our insurance provider all drivers must now be a NorthWest Karting Association Member. We understand this is last minute and want to make this as painless as possible. For the 2019 racing season the NWKA membership will be only $5 per family. This one-time fee is good for all NWKA events across both Sprint and Road Race. The applications will be available at the track as well as on our website.

Tentative schedule is out for the first round of the ICP Cup

As we get closer to the first race we wanted to give everyone a tentative look at the weekend schedule. Please keep in mind this may change due to the total number of entries. If you haven't looked lately we are getting close to 150 pre-entries.

Jr 1 Drivers

In an effort to protect our young racers, we have implemented a new rule which requires the rear wheels not to extend past the side pods. Here are two images to make sure your cadet kart for JR.1 and TAG Cadet classes conform to this rule.

Northwest Karting Association ICP Cup

Attention Racers!

Tech Update:

206 RULE UPDATE - FUEL PUMP

UPDATE - Effective immediately, Non-impacting.

15. Fuel Pump

Only fuel pump, B&S part number 808656 or 597338, is legal for competition.

Reason for this update: Mikuni has updated the membrane material to meet ROHS Compliance in the EU. From a visual and function standpoint the pump remains unchanged. A new part number change was required to prevent accidental non-compliance. Part number 808656 will eventually supersede to 597338 in the future depending on warehouse inventories.

206 RULE UPDATE - CYLINDER HEAD GASKET SURFACE IS NOT A TECH ITEM.

Effective immediately

Briggs & Stratton 206 Engine Rule Update – Non-impacting

19. Cylinder Head – (Updated 2/18/2019)
b. Cylinder head must be “as cast”. Factory machining marks on the head
gasket surface is NOT a tech item.

Northwest Karting Association ICP Cup

It has been brought to our attention that during some of the recent club races, there has been some confusion on the requirements for the Briggs 206 exhaust wrap. Here is the current rule as it is posted in the 206 Rule Set. Tech Inspectors will be looking for this.

Exhaust Protection:
The header must be completely wrapped (360 degrees) with a non-asbestos, approved insulation material or sleeve starting approx. 3 inches from the exhaust flange but MUST extend to where the stock supplied RVL support (welded or clamped) meets the header.

As we get closer to the first event, the first question that always comes up has to do with the Minor Waver Form. In the attempt to clarify the procedures here are some key points. The TAG USA Annual Minor Waver will be available on the ICP Cup website shortly. When Printing they must be done so in color.

Requirements for Minor Participants for any TAG USA Sanction Events:

Minor participants must have an Annual Minor Waiver with Notary and birth certificate on file with the ICP Cup registration coordinator as well as their local club.

Minor participants must fill out the Event Minor Waiver (pink form) at each event.

If minors are traveling with someone other then their legal guardian they must have a notarized letter from the legal guardian stating that they are being accompanied by this person and that person is acting as an authorized guardian.

Just a friendly reminder at this year’s conference it was voted in that All podium finishers will be required to wear their race attire, and have their helmets with them for the podium ceremonies. Don’t miss our first round on April 12-14.

ICP Cup Round 2 Moved to Spokane, WA on May 24th-26th

The second round of the ICP cup has been moved to Spokane, WA on May 24th-26th. “A few issues crept up with hosting the race in Boise. Snake River Karters' leadership being forward thinking and not wanting to distract from the momentum of the ICP Cup, have relinquished their race. We want to thank them, and look at getting them back on the calendar in the future” said Tim Draggoo of the ICP Cup Series. “Our series is exploding with already 126 pre-entries for Tri-Cities! We have to thank the TCKC leadership for all the hard work to prepare the track for the opening round, we all can’t wait for the season to start!”

With an all-time new attendance record on the horizon, the ICP Series is establishing itself as a fantastic series for the racers and sponsors to be part of.

We invite everyone to be part of a new chapter on April 12-14 in Tri-Cities, WA.
