2011 Plans: Unfortunately, participation in the 2010 WKA Northeast Speedway Pavement Series did not generate sufficient revenue to support the series. As a result, there are no current plans to run the series in 2011.
That said, the officials of East End Kart Racing have expressed interest in running a four race series at Riverhead Speedway. If you would like to participate in a series there, please contact the EEKR Race Officials directly.
Impact Racing Products Update: SFI and Impact Racing Products have issued a joint press release regarding Impact's fire resistant driving suits and restraint systems. Click on the Impact button on the left to see the complete document. However, nothing has changed. SFI has decertified Impact Racing Products fire resistant suits and restraint systems manufactured in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
As reported recently on this web site, two Impact Racing Products driving suits were inspected during pre-race tech at Pomfret. Although both suits had the required SFI Certification and date tags, one of the date tags was not punched. The suit was purchased about a month ago. The lack of a punch in the tag indicates that either this suit (1) was made in 2005 to 2008 and may be defective, or (2) was manufactured in 2009 or 2010 but the date label was not punched. In either case, the suit should be returned directly to Impact. Impact will either put a correct date tag in the suit or will replace it at no charge.
The WKA Board of Trustees has ruled that any Impact Racing Products driving suit that is presented for use in a Champ Kart must be properly labeled and manufactured in 2009 or 2010. Any suit with a date code prior to 2009 or no date code at all will not be allowed at any WKA sanctioned event after the end of the 2010 competition year, December 20, 2010. Restraint belts with date codes prior to 2009 will also be illegal after the end of the 2010 competition year, but they would not be legal anyway, since restraint belts must be replaced every two years.
This action does not affect Impact helmets.
