WKA Open Sprint class

[Speed Racer]

Anyone know the rules for WKA open sprint road race class? Can't find it on the WKA web site. Thanks.

You will have to purchase the WKA rule book. It is $25.

Only wka makes it this hard. Every other series has classes and rules on their web site.

The basics of the WKA classes are on the website.

More detail has to be obtained from the WKA tech manual.

Open Sprint is not in the tech manual that I can find because I don't believe it is an official WKA national class. I believe it usually offered as a local option. Here is a list of local option classes from the Dart Kart Club web site: LO Classes

Thanks. The wieghts seem very low.

I agree with you. I think that 425 pounds should be the min weight.

It IS Open....lol.....for jockey sized drivers and V8 sized engines. FWIW, with my CIK bodywork ICA, I was at 290# with no weights added, and my weight at the time was 145#. What is the current specc'ed weight for open?

There is not a min weight that is being inforced. I go over the scales at about 450 and weigh 240+. Big block racing is generally for bigger racers. I think that the reason that clones didn, t work in RR is that they didn,t have enough hp to be fun if you were a big person.
