Note 1: If classes do not grow to 3 or more entries within 4 races they may be dropped or combined with another class and scored separately.
Note 2: Classes may be added, deleted, combined, or changed during the year, as demand requires.
Note 3: For any class that has a class sponsor, the sponsor’s decal must be displayed on the kart or the competitor will not be allowed to compete in the feature and will not receive points. This applies to HRKC members only.
Note 4: Novice and Amateur classes are not for drivers to remain in for extended periods of time. They are designed just for drivers with no previous experience to get familiar with their kart/kar and the race day procedures. HRKC recommends that drivers move up to their respective classes after a max of 6 races in the Novice or Amateur divisions. Exceptions to this rule must be discussed and granted by the HRKC Race Committee.
Note 5: All weights posted above are minimum weights post qualifying, Heat Race or Feature Race events. Weights are also subject to change, as determined by the HRKC Race Committee.
