As mentioned in another thread the 2011 AKA Karting Manual is now available -
Thanks AKANSW - http://www.akansw.com.au/news.asp?catID=3
or Kartsport News - http://www.kartsportnews.com/content/2010/news_101227-4.html
Good to see the Class Chapters are in a sensible order
Wonder when the Engine Tech details will be available from the AKA Oz website
No (paid) adverts other than insurance in Chapter 3 ???
Needs some proof reading to conform with NKC decisions as shown in NKC minutes
25.16 b Bans Cameras, but 25.31 allows cameras
NKC Minutes "...I have had an enquiry regarding the weights of cameras from Steve King the President ofAKA NSW, I took the opportunity to then pass this onto the other State Tech Officers and as a result we would like to submit the following changes the Rule 25.16 ..."
THe "NO COMMENT" by officials is not as per the NKC decision -
3. TRIBUNAL RECOMMENDATION
Due to the ease of access to some forms of electronic media eg; Facebook, Twitter, etc, several instances have occurred recently where competitors / officials have contravened rule 5.01.e. One such case was reported and the perpetrator sent to a Disciplinary Tribunal.
:
As a result of that Tribunal, the tribunes made a recommendation that we implement a new rule to read; “No Official is to make any comment to or on any form of electronic media or otherwise without the express written permission of the AKA”.
We need to add to this statement; No Official is to make any comment to or on any form of electronic media or otherwise, pertaining to any issues arising from a race meeting
.
To go into chapter 4.

No need for a commentator at any more race meetings ???
Can the Stewards report ???
Can the Clerk of the Course say "RED FLAG - Driver under a kart in turn 4" ????
I believe the Exhaust Open to Transfer Open for CNC Senior Rotax was changed from 15.00 min (millimetres I presume) to 14.6 ???
"PTG Measurements – Tech ItemLate Item No.4

I understood that 26.04 Step 6 and 26.05 will apply to Senior Rotax, but will have to wait for the Engine Details on the AKA Oz website
Happy Karting and BE CAREFUL about commenting, especially if you are an official - "The vintage karts (and drivers) put on a brilliant display of racing with no contact !!!"
