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.
TaG Update: Technical changes effective 9/5/10
In our continuing effort to refine our TAG classes, the following changes are effective September 5, 2010:
- ROK TT- Remove the requirement for a .1mm head shim. Change the minimum squish to .038” measured with .060” solder. Change the minimum cc to 10.8cc with LAD tool.
- ROTAX- Change to all RMC rules including carburetor, sealing and Passport requirement.
- TAG WEIGHTS- Class B changed to 370/400. At this time we have elected to retain the current weight structure for 09 Leopards; they will continue at the same weight as the earlier Leopard.
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 MG-FZ tires purchased from SKUSA as part of the entry process and delivered at the event. For the TaG Cadet class, Race Tires are the two (2) sets of MG-HZ 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 are signed out to the participant at the event Tire Desk.
For all classes except TaG Cadet, the MG Yellow Type “SKUSA-FZ” 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 “SKUSA-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 YKPs or YHPs, and must be supplied by the racer. SKUSA does not sell these tires.
A total of four (4) front and four (4) rear Race Tires may be managed at the discretion of the competitor for qualifying, heats and main. Should the Race Director declare a wet race, a maximum of two sets of “marked” rain tires may be utilized.
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 SuperNationals, and two (2) sets of Race Tires (MG-FZ’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 two (2) sets of 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.
Spec Fuel and Oil
 For all classes, the spec fuel is VP MS98 (ICC, TaG, Spec Honda) or VP C12 (built motos) and the spec oil is Motul Kart Grand Prix 2T. Mixing ratio is open spec. Event entry does not include any fuel or oil; all fuel and oil will be available for purchase at the event ONLY, and NO fuel is allowed to be brought in by competitors.
 Motul representatives have told us that Kart Grand Prix 2T can be run from 16:1 to 32:1, depending on application and driver preference. The richer ratios are generally reserved for high rpm, cast iron cylinder applications (example Leopards) and the leaner ratios for Nikasil cylinder applications (example Rotaxes). ICC’s and Moto’s would fall somewhere in between the two extremes.
