June 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General<\/strong><br>The Vintage Kart Club of America (VKCA) represents karts manufactured during the early eras of kart production. Karts acceptable for participation are identified in these rules and in the VKCA Mission Statement. The philosophy of VKCA is simple. Karts configured as designed and equipped consistent with the era manufactured will comply with the rules. Safety and responsible conduct of each participant are the fundamental elements of club participation.<br><strong>Event Participation<\/strong><br>Participants in VKCA events shall abide by these and other rules implemented by the Board of Directors, insurance carrier, event officials or venue officials and waive the right to legal action against any individual or organization involved in the presentation of that event.<br><strong>Safety<\/strong><br>All VKCA events shall be run with safety as a first priority. VKCA event officials will control all on-track activities in a safe manner and when necessary schedule separate track sessions to accommodate slower and faster karts:<br>\uf0b7 Less skilled or less experienced drivers<br>\uf0b7 Junior drivers<br>\uf0b7 Lady drivers<br>\uf0b7 Older karts moving at significantly lower speeds, the following are minimum safety requirements and are subject to review and approval by the Safety Director:<br>\uf0b7 Full coverage (full face) helmets are mandatory and as of January 2020 must comply with the following: Snell rating 2015 and newer. June 2023<br>\uf0b7 Helmets must have safety face shields. Shields must be in good condition, free of major damage i.e. breaks, cracks, or missing pieces. The safety shield must be in the closed position when entering the track, and for the entire time the driver is on the track. These requirements shall be addressed in the drivers meeting at all V.K.C.A. events. First time offending driver will be shown a black flag and be asked to close his or her visor.
