Will a twin pass the db limitations ?? It would be a shame if the twins dont make it as i know at least 5 drivers that would love to race on the Laguna circuit !

I sure would like to see some Twins again! The 250’s are getting by for the most part. You probably will need to run Air Boxes though.

Air boxes help a great deal.

Attention should also be paid to your exhaust exit. The sound sensor is at the exiton the right side of turn five. Point exhausts out the left side and down. Bring materials to build “widgets” for deflecting sound and plan ahead.

I was called out on my laydown kart two years ago and adding a simple exhaust deflector at my exhaust exiting the right side pod was enough to pass. I was NOT using an airbox because it doesn’t fit in my bodywork, but I brought it just in case I had to modify things to use it. You would be wise to have airboes mounted to be certain that you’ve done due diligence ahead of time given that you’re traveling a great distance.

We’ve had very little problem with sound at LS, but it always pays to plan ahead.

We have a Facebook event page for discussions, questions, announcements, etc.  Feel free to go there as well:

You MAY want to put elastomers between your cooling fins to dampen noise.

The sound limit is mandatory.  Bring more than enough sound reduction equipment and work your way from quiet to just passing, remember you only get one sound failure, a second sound failure ends your day.  Airbox, long silencer or two, and 90 degree bends in the connecting pipe and a 90 degree bend on the output of the silencer with the output facing drivers left and down.  Experts to consult are Ian Harrison of Viper Racing, UK for Superkarts, and Art Verlinger of RLV for the rest of the karts.

Who’s coming? class for sure are Stockmoto. Superkarts, TaGs, 80cc sprints, Laydowns. 4 Strokes,

How would you like to have a race on a temporaary sprint track in the paddock while the roadracing is happening?!

man I wish I wasn’t 3,000 miles away :(

What are the TaG rules for IKF?

FYI – David and I have traded some emails about TAG rules.  I think I covered what was needed.

ALL class and rules questions – bring it on….  I will assist as needed.

I’d like to see a TaG light class added each day to a race group to make it two TaG classes a day, and maybe entice some of the sprint racers with TaGs to race. 400lbs. is not normal weight for them, except for Masters drivers.

Sounds good.

Do all tracks have the noise testing equipment? There will ne a few of us going to Daytona. It would be a big help if we could get the reading.

It might help if all the racers got their results listed. Just like fast lap. loudest sound.

It would really suck to make the trip and not run.

Laguna is just under 3months away with 209 entry’s and growing fast. We have some garages left so if you want one you need to enter soon.
We have some great sponsors on board with Hoosier tires at the top of the list. We now have comitments from several of the kart shops for class contigency sponsors that include Swedetech, Cameron Karting, Cambrian Karting, Leading Edge, The Framing Company, Aluminos. Aim Sports will be on hand for support. More to follow soon.

If you are into 125 Shifter Karts this race would be worth the price just to watch! Some really fast people are entered.

Hi Ray, we are over 250 entries from all over the US!  Although they are not entered yet (like the 125 racers{thanks!})  I estimate 40 unlimited, IC-E, FKE-III and Unlimited entries will be coming!  Lots of groups of racers from various clubs around the country are planning together to make this the best race I have attended in the last quarter century!

Things are looking lean for the Tag Heavy class!! Come on West Coast Tag guys and girls!!

NCK would like to thank everyone who has entered already.  Please check your email that was sent to you when you entered to ensure you have:

1.  paid for the number of days and classes each day that you want to race and

2.  compare your entry to dlb’s web site and confirm that you got it right.

something this important deserves a second look!

Why is Tag heavy with 250 karts? I was thinking about coming out from Chicago. But I’m not going to race on a track with karts that can run 40 mph faster. You wont even know they are coming up on you. 40 plus entries in that class. Let them have the track to themselves for that race.
Why not put Tag Heavy in race 6?

HEY! It looks like the weather is going to cooperate and I got my racing info packet in the mail yesterday!  I am so fired up about racing with all these racers from all over the country. Can’t wait to meet all my fellow karting fanatics.

Haven’t seen anything about Race Monitor. Will it be utilized?

Laguna is tricky on Wi Fi if at all  possible we will have Race monitor up

Race Monitor is up. Thanks

Once again Race Monitor makes it almost as good as being there. Thanks.

Hard to believe it’s been a week already.  I would like to thank Mark Morrison and everyone else from NCK that put on this event.  It was a great time meeting new people and racing on a new track.

NCK will return to Laguna Seca in 2018. The date is March 24-25 so put it down on your calendar. We will start an event page soon.
