G-Force Karts: Where Every Day Is Race Day

8 Karts 50 laps. Who will win?
$30 per Junior
Endurance Race Format and Rules

Dates of Races (2008): 1/20, 2/10, 3/23.
Time 6pm.
Endurance races are 50 laps.
Qualifying will be 10 laps in randomly assigned karts.
Qualifying fastest lap times determine the starting order for the race, not the kart number.
Karts will be selected randomly by drawing.
All races will have 8 drivers maximum. American Indoor Karting reserves the right to place racers in heats appropriate with their lap times. IE: the last junior in a qualifier is 2 seconds off the pace of the kids he/she will be with. The junior will be placed in the next slowest group for safety. This will increase the fun that the junior has racing, instead of worrying about being passed every lap.
Karts will be gridded up for a standing start on the track, remember this is a 50 lap race. Crashing or getting a penalty in the first corner, will not benefit you.
Trophies will be awarded for first, second and third place.
Points will also be awarded for each junior and a four series champion will be crowned after four endurance races are run.
All American Indoor Karting rules apply. We expect everyone to act respectfully to others.
Any junior racer acting inappropriately, or endangering themselves or others, will be immediately taken out of the race and no refund will be given. Any parent acting inappropriately before, during or after a race will cause the junior and the parent to be escorted from the building. This racing program is for kids to enjoy, not for parents to act inappropriately during the event. Let the kids race, and let the kids decide their demeanor. This is a great learning experience for the racers to feel what it is like to race with several other people on the track in a competitive environment.
This is a race for individual juniors. We need to have payment for the junior a full 7 days in advance of the race. In the event that you cannot show for the event and there is no one to fill in the space left open, you lose the entry fee. If an alternate junior can be found the day of the event, the parent's money will be refunded.
Each racer will be tracked in the computer and the racer who completes 50 laps first will win.
In the event that a kart fails for a mechanical reason other than a crash, the junior will be given a replacement kart the race will not be stopped unless it is deemed unsafe to remove the kart from the track for the junior to get a new kart.
If a race needs to be slowed to remove a kart and replace it, the karts will be slowed using the Shutdown system. No passing will take effect under this full course yellow situation.
The first penalty for violation of the rules will be a 10 second pit stop.
The second penalty for a violation of the rules will be a 30 second pit stop.
The third penalty will result in removal of the junior racer from the race.
Most racers are accustomed to a 24-lap race. This is a 50-lap endurance race. Remember that there will be many turns to get past your opponents, not just the next one in front of you.
This event is non-refundable. No refund will be given for any reason, kart breakage, violation of rules, improper conduct or basically losing the race for any possible reason on the planet that could occur.
Please remember that this is supposed to be fun. We award prizes, trophies and other items for endurance races, but the goal is to enjoy spirited racing in a competitive environment without someone getting hurt. Remember your manners and act appropriately as a winner or loser. Take into consideration that there are a number of other people trying to enjoy the same experience that you are. Don't be a poor sport and ruin the experience for someone else. Inappropriate actions will result in the participating member being barred from racing at American Indoor Karting again.
