ProTour Specific Rules and Procedures
Updated 7/6/2011
Air boxes are Mandatory for Moto Engines
Grand Junction Motor Speedway requires an air box that holds two (2) 29mm (+/- 1mm) tubes; air filter is optional.
NOTE: If you have an air box with 3 tubes, it is ok to block one off to meet this requirement.
Race Numbers
You will be assigned your unique and official kart number (with regional letter designator) when you purchase/renew your SKUSA membership and/or register for your first race of the season. This number/letter combo is required on all 4 sides of your kart for all competition sessions. Call PKC/SKUSA at 951-491-0808 to check on your desired race number. NOTE: SKUSA's National Number plate winners -- 1st thru 3rd from the 2010 Pro Tour -- are asked to race with their national number plates in 2011 (as sent by SKUSA) if running in the same class. These plates do not require a letter designator.
Race Number Panels
Please be aware that SKUSA is making specific number panel colors MANDATORY for the 2011 SKUSA Pro Tour. Please see the Race Number Panels page for more info.
Practice and Qualifying (All Classes)
-
Anyone in the wrong practice group will forfeit the next practice session
-
Anyone who misses their qualifying session or is in the wrong qualifying session will be assigned a "no time" and start at the back of the field in their respective class.
Vortex ROK Mini ROK Class Information
All basic engine specifications and dimensions will be found in the Mini ROK pdf as published in the Rulebook section of this website. The intent of the class is to run the engine as produced. The specifications are available to determine any modifications, not to allow blueprinting. No deviation from the “as produced” engine is allowed. All components must remain OEM. Please consult the Mini ROK pdf for complete details.
Spec Tires
 For all classes except TaG Cadet, Race Tires are defined as the two (2) sets of tires purchased from SKUSA as part of the entry process and delivered at the event – one set for EACH race day. For the TaG Cadet class, Race Tires are the one (1) set of tires purchased from SKUSA as part of the entry process and delivered at the event. Race Tires are marked with serial numbers specific to the related entry -- and to the race day, for all classes except TaG Cadet -- and are signed out to the participant at the event Tire Desk.
For all classes except TaG Cadet, the MG White Type “MG-SK” is the spec Race Tire and the only slick that can be used in qualifying, heats, LCQ’s and mains. For the TaG Cadet class, the MG Red Type “MG-HZ” is the spec Race Tire and the only slick that can be in all competition sessions. If rain tires are necessary, they must be the Bridgestone YJPs, YKPs or YLPs, and must be supplied by the racer. SKUSA does not sell these tires.
Race Tires are NOT included in your entry fee; however, their purchase is mandatory WITH your entry registration. SKUSA is the official tire provider for the Pro Tour, and two (2) sets of Race Tires (MG-SK’s or HZ’s) per class must be purchased from SKUSA for delivery at the event.
The Tire Desk will open and close during the event per the published schedule. Competitors are required to pick up their Race Tires (slicks), any practice tires purchased from SKUSA, plus have a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of two (2) sets of participant supplied rain tires (mounted OK) marked during these time periods. Only Race Tires (slicks) received from the Tire Desk and rain tires marked by the Tire Desk are eligible for competition at this event.
Any tire issues occurring after Tire Desk closure should be reported to the SKUSA Registration Desk and they will be handled on a case by case basis.
Tires used in practice and warm-up sessions are open spec.
ROTAX Fuel
Although our spec fuel is normally VP MS98, we now allow VP MS93 for Rotax competitors. This change comes as a result of our experience at SuperNationals 14, as well as other field input, and will bring our rules package directly in line with USRMC rules as well as reflect what the majority of Rotax competitors are using. This change should allow an easier transition between Rotax events and SKUSA events and eliminate complaints regarding jetting issues.
Important: Drivers wanting to use MS93 can bring their own fuel to Grand Junction, Colorado, or purchase it there from the track. NOTE: If you bring your own, it must be able to pass fuel testing by the technical staff.
