Karts

[gmrviper]

Hello, i was curious if i could run my kart on the next get together. Its nothing exotic by any means. Just a briggs animal motor on a sprint chassis. Also what safety equipment would i need other than a good helmet. Thanks for all the help.

Since OMR is a more easy going Region, I would not see an issue as long as the Kart passed tech. Remember though that it would be in the F125 Class and up against some tough competition should Randy and/or Quintin Dye show up to race. Also take note of the rules in red. These safety devices are required to pass tech.

19. KART CLASSES
Data acquisition systems are allowed in all kart classes.
See Appendixes G and H for event conduct requirements.
19.1 F125

A. FRAME/DIMENSIONS
1. Chassis must be constructed of carbon steel alloy using
traditional tubular construction. Nerf bars are required. Suspensions
are prohibited. Differential mechanisms that allow
the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds are prohibited.
2. Maximum width measured at any point shall be 55 inches.
Maximum length measured at any point shall be 84 inches.
3. All karts shall have bodywork consisting of a nose cone, driver
fairing and side-pods. (Full width nose pieces are recommended.)
Bodywork may not extend past the rear nerf bar.
No metal bodywork is allowed (although metal number
plates to allow use of magnetic numbers are permitted). Belly
pans are allowed provided that they are fully confined within
the frame rails and do not extend aft of the leading edge of the
rear axle. No skirts or vertical aerodynamic sealing devices
are allowed to extend below the main frame rails (this does
not include the front fairing). No wings allowed.
4. Minimum weight for entrants in 125cc shifter karts is 385 lbs.
as raced, including driver, regardless of driver gender or class
entered. Weights for entrants with karts having other engines
are as listed in section 19.1.D.3.
5. All non-structural weights must be affixed to the kart, seat, or
driver in such a way as to prevent said weight from becoming
separated from kart/driver or moving freely during competition
runs. In addition to bolted on weights, this also allows
weights to be placed on the driver underneath a suit, to be
placed inside the seat liners/inserts, and to be used with quick
change mechanisms, thus facilitating addition and removal of
weight during driver changes. Arm or wrist weights are prohibited.
Ballast weights may not be mounted to nerf bars or
moving parts.

B. WHEELS AND TIRES
1. Wheels must be metallic. Five and six inch rim diameters are
approved.
2. Tires
a. Tires must be no larger than 12.5 inches in diameter and
no smaller than 9.0 inches in diameter as imprinted on
tire. Tire width is limited to 5.5 inches for the front and 7.1
inches for the rear as imprinted on tire.
b. Tire brand and compound are open. Exception: the tire
must not appear on the following list, which may be altered
at any time by the SEB upon notification of membership:
No tire models are currently listed.

C. BRAKES
1. Moto and ICC 125cc Shifter Karts: Moto and ICC shifter karts
must have disc brakes that operate on all four wheels. The
brakes shall be a dual system, arranged in a manner to provide
braking for at least two wheels in the event of failure in
part of the system.
2. Other Allowed Karts: Other karts that are allowed to compete
in F125 (see 19.1.D.3 below) may use a braking system that
complies with the rules to which the kart is prepared (e.g.,
WKA, IKF, Cart Stars of Tomorrow). The competitor is responsible
for providing the rules to which the kart is prepared (i.e.,
an 80cc shifter or 100cc clutch type is not required to have
front brakes). All karts with engine configurations other than
moto/ICC 125cc, that are allowed to compete in F125, must
have at a minimum, a single rear disc that brakes both rear
wheels equally and adequately for the power-plant used. The
addition of front brakes is optional; however, the kart must
then be run at the 385 lb. minimum weight.

D. ENGINE
1. Moto: Engines must be mass-produced, single cylinder,
motocross motorcycle engines up to 125cc displacement and
of the current year’s production or older. No prototype, preproduction,
“works type motors,â€
