HRKC Pro Wing Champ Rule Changes

The HRKC Board has meet and have joined into conversations with Langley Speedway concerning our Rhonnda Claiborne Pro Wing Champ Karts and their continue venue at the Speedway.

Both organizations have decided on the following changes to be made immediately: These changes will have to be done prior to the July 27, 2008 race.

1) The wing angle to be changed from 15 to 20 degrees.

2) Install a triangle window net also known as a sprint car window net in the left side attached to the rear left roll cage bar and left front roll cage down bar.

3) Install an aluminum plate, 6" X 6" X 3/16"(thick) adjacent to the clutch on the right  hand side of seat, this is to be known as the "Clutch Protection Plate".

4) Every driver will be required to wear elbow pads.

5) All rookies that have not achieved the 4 race rookie qualification, will be required to start in the rear for the remainder of the 2008 Season.

There are also some additional changes that are being discussed for the 2009 Season and those changes will made prior to the 2009 Competition rules and technical manual being published, allowing everyone enough time to adapt their karts.


Summer Race Day Changes

A vote was conducted at the race on June 22, to see whether the club members wanted to forgo the practice sessions during the hot summer months, in an attempt to shorten the race day. The majority of the members were in favor of this, and therefore, for the remaining races scheduled in June, July, August, there will not be any practice sessions on race day. The gates will open at 7:30am, and registration will close at 9:30am. The driver's meeting and heat and feature races to follow. Again, this is just for races scheduled through the end of August. If any members would like some practice time, they can contact Langley Speedway and can reserve a 4 hour block (either morning or afternoon) for $50.00. The club is also entertaining the idea of maybe a group practice session on a Tuesday evening, if there is enough interest. Please contact your kart rep if you are interested in this Tuesday practice.


The HRKC Membership Meeting was held on Saturday, February 16, and was well received. Thanks to all the members that turned out for the meeting. If you could not make it, both the rulebook and the Membership Application are available here on the web site. You can print them out and either mail the membership application (with payment) to the address listed above, or bring it to the Practice on April 6th at Langley Speedway.
