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 will be a mandatory drivers meeting for champ kart drivers, their owners and crews prior to the July 27, 2008 race.
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.
