I have forwarded the clone rules package and the WKA Stock Rules that Terry had given to me to Mark. They are to be put on the club website's rules and regs section.
I don't recall any agreement/decision that there would be no tech inspection - I do remember many people saying that they were not interested in protesting or tech inspections.
I may be in a minority but I believe that it is important to know that all competitors are staying within the rules - we are running engines in the 7 - 9 horseower range - with readily attainable bolt on parts that will easily produce 12 to 15 horspower.
Knowing that everyone are working within the rules gives the class credibility -
Plus re-reading the post from Markus I don't understand the rules regarding the Stock Animal.
We had a long discussion regarding the fact that the "existing" rules (2010 CKRC supplemental rules) were untraceable (the webpage posted is no longer available) and in fact allow that engine at 350 lbs more powerful than the machined to WKA specs version at 375.
I believe the decision was to allow an umodified/blueprinted Animal to be run at 350 lbs, and a machined / blueprinted one to be run at 375 minimum weight. Both engines would be under the WKA regulations - as these and the identical IKF ones are the only ones available. Further it was up to the driver to state whether they were running a modified /blueprinted or box stock engine.
No one expressed any interest in teching these engines - although no vote was taken on the issue, Personally I have no interest in teching engines unless an obvious discrepancy in power becomes apparent - at which point it is important to me that I have the oppourtunity to prove to myself that I am being beaten by superior driving talent and kart set up rather than by an illegal engine making more power than is allowed.
The clone regs and the WKA regs have been forwarded to Mark H to post on this site and will be available here hopefully before the season starts. I am attaching below the scanned WKA pages and another copy of the clone rules.
<Administrator's Message: Attachment removed ! All rules can be found on the Rules & Regulations page and in the interest of making sure there's only ONE ruleset floating around, we can't have them posted on the forums. You should ONLY use rules downloaded from the Rules & Regs page and nowhere else !!!!>
