TRACK RULES:
Racers will be required to drive safely and any unsafe driving or acts of aggression or illegal equipment will be grounds for disqualification and/or penalty.
NO clearing track and/or engine at starting line. Warm-up stands with ISR-approved backs and sides MUST BE USED when warming up machine with the track suspended above the ground/ice surface.
No pushing or shoving. Inside machine has the lead. No pushing or racing inside of cones. If a driver is excessively pushing or tries to force their sled into an area that it won’t fit and catches a cone, or purposely catches a cone, will have to continue racing with a cone in place. Racing will not be stopped for picking up a cone. Pushing others drivers into cones will not be tolerated.
Race restarts. If a driver causes the race to be restarted more than once, that driver will start in the second line of a restart.
A racer cannot enter the infield of the track to pass another racer or to gain ground during the race. If a driver gains a position in this manner the final results will reflect the loss of this placement for any placement affected by this pass. If driver is driving in an overly aggressive manner repeatedly final placement may be moved to 6th place at discretion of the Race Director.
Racers must stay on sled at all times. If sled failure occurs, drivers are required to raise their hand to notify flaggers/corner workers. Corner workers will help drivers in need.
The checkered flag will determine end of the race, not number of laps. Situations are at the discretion of head flagman of that race.
Time to fix or repair a sled is limited to 5 minutes maximum. This comes into play only after a race has started and a mechanical problem arises. If a sled makes it to the line but is unable to finish the heat, they may be placed into the consi heat if that is an option. However, the sled must have made it to the start line by its own power.
Parents, racers, spectators and other children must remain off the track while the race is under way for that day. Parents on the track or infield are only permitted if: their child has been injured; if there is a mechanical problem with their sled and the race has been stopped; or if a race has been stopped or not yet started due to a mechanical problem of some ones sled and your machine needs to be restarted. The parents should leave the track once the problem is corrected. Parents will not be permitted to stand next to or hold sled in place on the start line.
FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES CHILDREN OR UNAUTHORIZED ADULTS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE INFIELD OF THE TRACK WHILE A RACE IS UNDERWAY, INSURANCE WAIVERS MUST BE SIGNED AT EVERY RACE.
DISQUALIFICATIONS:
If a sled has been disqualified, the driver will be suspended from that class for that race and any races that the involved sled was used in and the next two point’s races, at the discretion of the WKSRA officers and race directors. The decision of the officers, voting board members, race director and technical inspector(s) is final.
RACE DIRECTOR AUTHORITY:
The Race Director shall be responsible for the conduct of the race. They shall have the right to make the final determination concerning all aspects of the race and the race facility, including design. They shall have the voice of authority to discipline the participants for violation of the rules. Such discipline will be limited to disqualification of a participant and/ or exclusion from an event(s). Parent/guardian must speak with the race director no later than 15 minutes after the finish of the race in question. If the race director is not present, the President will take his place.
FLAG/RESTART RULES:
The flag person and/or race official will stop and restart the race if all sleds do not clear the designated striped cone in the first lap.
All Machines will be stopped under the red flag. The flagman will notify drivers when to move machines and then proceed slowly to point of restart.
If less than one lap has been raced the order of the sleds for restart are the same as the beginning of the race with the following exceptions:
Any sled causing the stop of the race twice with a false start will be placed one sled length behind the others on the start line.
After more than one lap has been raced the restart position of the machines reverts to the last officially counted lap. Sleds will restart in staggered line from left to right with the sled causing the stop of the race placed to the back. In the instance that two sleds were involved in stopping the race they will be placed evenly side by side.
If a racer receives two red flags in one class, they may be disqualified from that race for the day at the discretion of the race director.
If a racer causes the race to be stopped by reckless driving, that racer can be black flagged.
Red flags are to be used at the discretion of the corner people. If there is a dispute, it should be taken up with the race director and finalized before the start of the next race.
Red flags will not be thrown in the last lap unless necessary for the safety of participants (driver or sled in the direct path of drivers finishing the race or other dangerous situation). If a red flag is unavoidable in the last lap the restart will consist of 2 laps.
Any sleds crossing the finish line before a red flag is thrown shall be considered finished. Any remaining sleds will restart and complete 2 laps to finish and determine placement.
VIDEOTAPING:
Videotapes will not be viewed for Race Decisions.
RADIO DEVICES:
As of December 31st, 2002, the Wisconsin Kids Snowmobile Racing Association (WKSRA) board has voted to ban the use of “radio devices” for the purpose of communication between Driver and Parent in any and all race situations. Further use of these radios will result in an infraction of the WKSRA By-Laws Section 6, subsection E and will result in a disqualification for two (2) WKSRA points races for that particular class that the radios were used in and sacrifice of the points earned in any or all wins.
PROTESTS/DISPUTES:
In the event of any protest or dispute of stock or ineligible equipment in any class, or driver, WKSRA has enacted a $50.00/$150.00 Protest Rule. ($50.00 for stock based classes and $150 for all modified classes). Any parent or guardian of a driver may on any occasion protest for using illegal equipment or otherwise breaking WKSRA rules if they file an official protest. Parent/guardian must file an official protest form with the Race Director in the Registration Trailer/Building no later than 15 minutes after the finish of the race in question. $50.00/ $150.00 Protest Fee must accompany official protest. The Race Director will review the official protest in the Registration Trailer/Building and determine necessary action within 15 minutes of the end of the race day. He may consult other race directors/officials and Tech inspector(s) in the privacy of the registration site. In the event of equipment dispute, protested machinery is immediately impounded to the center of the race track or other secure area, until Tech inspection is performed to determine authenticity of protest. No awards will be given to the driver under an official protest until protest is resolved and the Race Director/Head Tech inspector determines an answer. If the protest is warranted, the driver/family filing the protest will have their $50.00/$150.00 returned to them. Protested machinery will be subject to any disqualification or suspension rules. If the protest is NOT warranted and the machine and/or driver are eligible by all the rules of WKSRA, the filing racer/family will lose the $50.00 or $150.00 Protest fee. The 50.00/$150.00 Protest fee will be given to the protested driver/family for the inconvenience of the protest. Bad checks or stop payments of protest fee will result in an automatic one-race suspension of driver or family.
The five elected board members of the WKSRA are to be used whenever a dispute, conflict or a disturbance to the WKSRA has been identified and needs a resolution. This includes decisions that occur on and off the WKSRA racetrack.
If it is not stated in these rules that you can do it, it can’t be done. Any questions concerning rules should be directed to the Race Director(s). If decision is not satisfactory, it may be appealed to the WKSRA officers. A vote may be taken if necessary.
Please refer to the ISR Book for full set of rules for all classes. These rules are in addition to ISR rules.
