All I'll say is that my first take on the whole deal was that all weights would be bolted and tethered to the kart, with jam nuts being required and cotter keys or safety wire being optional, though recommended.
Then I got to thinking about tethering weights and what a mess that could turn out to be. Figured it was NKA's business and none of mine.
Over the last few years I've tried to contact them several times for various things, always get the machine promising to return my calls, which were never returned- figured out pretty quick where I stood.

Personally I think they should be more concerned about the size washer used when putting stacks of 20+ lbs to one 3/8 bolt in multiple locations on the seat. If it is 5lbs or 25lbs and mounted using the proper bolt, size washers, double nutted and pinned it is not going anywhere. JMO!
I always get positive comments while going thru tech inspections about the neatness of my weight mounting

I called nka. They said only double nuts are required.

Double nuts are required. Per nka. I spoke with them. I agree the rules are misleading.

It's pretty clear double nutting is required, That's not the part that promotes question, Glad to hear you got your original question confirmed.
Good Luck !!

Double nutted with 1/4" of thread showing.

That part of the rule is very good two reasons, better chance nut won't come off if not pinned and allows enough bolt to drill for those that do pin, plus it's very clear it's required.
