2010 Tillsonburg Outlaw Kart Club Race Rules

Club direction focuses for new season.

Goal-fun and fair racing. 

After two years of racing in Tillsonburg, the QRC karts have proven to be consistent week in and week out and many teams have gone to them already. The decision has been made to race almost exclusively this chassis. The phaze in process has begun and is in full effect for the Expert division in 2010.

We have been promoting the Beg, Jr, Sr sealed engine concept for 3 years and this year will improve the consistancey of sealing even further. Only two ways to have a points legal engine. Race a Suburu sealed by QRC/track with unaltered timing and valve train or Keith Marshman sealed & certified Honda. Engines may still be checked for hp,fuel,mechanical compliance. Engine Serial numbers will be recorded by the first race, May 4 2010.

Racers require a Transponder for scoring purposes.

As a rule of thumb. IF WE DON'T SAY YOU CAN-- YOU CAN'T
