The Maxxis Midwest series is a National Karting Alliance (NKA) sanctioned series. Therefore, all events will be conducted in accordance with NKA policies and procedures.
NKA Rule Book 2018
10.3.5: Competition Age
10.3.5.1: A driver’s competition age is determined by the age that they have
turned, or will turn, during the course of that competition season. For example; a driver is 11 but will turn 12 during the year. Their competition age that year is 12.
10.3.5.2: The minimum age for any NKA event is 5 years, ‘actual age’. For example: a child is 4 in April, but turns 5 on June 10. They may not compete until June 10 when their actual age is 5.
The Maxxis Midwest Series will allow border-line aged junior drivers to advance up in lite and heavy, but can not advance up to the JR Pro class.
For example: An age 12, JR2, is allowed to compete in all JR2 classes, JR3 Lite, and JR3 Heavy, but can not compete in JR3 Pro.
***ALL JUNIOR DRIVERS MUST BRING A COPY OF THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE*** – no exceptions
Drivers will at all times be responsible for their own conduct and the conduct of their crews. Any offense committed by a crewmember may be chargeable directly to the driver. The Maxxis Midwest series will enforce a ZERO tolerance policy for foul language and fighting.
Fighting will result in immediate suspension for they and possibly for the year. All winnings will be forfeited to the next event, and add to that purse. The driver will not be allowed to participate in any NKA sanction event for 12 months.
