With the season close by, does anyone know if there are going to be any rule changes to the Mini Dwarf Class?  There was some talk at the end of the season, has anything changed?  Thanks

Would be nice to know soon!!  

I have heard a few things they might do but no confirmation.

Wow, now that some engine rules.  Glad to see, some serious thought went into the rules.  Hopefully all other tracks will incorporate the same rules

I give Scott credit for trying to fix the MD division.

I was shocked on the engine rules because the predator engine swap ended everything and made the tech way less needed.  There are things you can't police in those engines like "Slightly" changing radiuses in the heads and machining down the bearings in the motor to free them up. Not only that but you have everyone (including myself) running oil additives that don't burn.  It was such a slam dunk and 1/5 the cost for new motors.  In the end a bone stock motor off the shelf isn't going to compete.  

I hope the seats clear with the new tire specs on rear.  I think the karts are going to need quite bit of fab work to raise up the rears.

I am not sure what the rules were before and what has changed a whole lot...

I know my sons car is high enough and the engine is stock. I have now idea or don't know much on the engines and how to check them.  I guess we will just race and see what happens!  

I am kind of confused about the tire rule and have no idea about the different sizes. Guess I will have to look at them.

I have no idea what I have. I assume they are stock. But if I am ever asked to tear one down I'll say "hell no." Since I have legal motors that I will refuse to tear down; money is the only thing stopping me from getting the best motor I can and let my kids run them till they get caught. The outcome will be the same, I will refuse to tear down. Maybe a spec class and an unlimited class?

run what ya brung with A RIGHT SIDE 18psi tire press rule!!!

LOL   ya beat me to it!!!!

I was wondering??  With these rule changes is it going to be just bakersfield changing or all tracks around here??

Ok I just focused on the new engine rules when I read them.  I don't have a problem with the engine rules because honestly I believe it needed to be spelled out.  Stock, I as I found out, did not mean straight out of a box from honda and I had to keep asking people what was "acceptable" and few had a straight answer.  From an outside view it looks excessive but there is a whole world of performance go kart engine parts that is available at the click of a button.

Now that I looked at the other rules I do have some questions.  "Frame rails must be higher that bottom of seat"  What does that mean? I read that as the bottom of the seat sits below the frame rails.

The rules say "Maximum height of car body from the lower frame rail is 35”, so I read that the car height can actually be lower because it says maximum not minimum.  Correct?    

Because the backend has to be changed this rule won't currently line up with other tracks like Ventura or Santa Maria.  Are the other tracks adopting these rules?  Thanks
