Raymore, MO
 
Due to the small number of rules' changes to the Tech Guide for 2009, and not wanting to place additional expenses on KART's supporters and advertisers, the decision was made to not publish a 2009 Tech Guide.  The 2008 Tech Guide will remain the official Tech Guide for 2009 with these updates.
 
The changes appear here.  You can either print them out from this site, or a hard copy will be included with your 2009 membership packets when renewing your membership.  To renewing members, you will not receive a copy of the 2008 Tech Guide unless requested.

10-2-2008 KART - Sprint & Speedway Divisions

MEMO TO KART SPRINT AND SPEEDWAY MEMBERS FROM PRESIDENT MIKE BALDUS: 

The KART President Mike Baldus, with Board approval, announces the suspension of KART National Championships’ and series’ programs for the 2009 season in the Sprint and Speedway divisions of KART.

The highly successful MASN Speedway Series, which is being promoted by middle America racers, shops and tracks, and has had several events of 400± entries, has reduced or eliminated the need for the KART Speedway National Championships.  KART’s goal from the beginning was to have national caliber races in middle America so middle America racers would not have to travel to the east and west coast areas.  

I encourage our members to support this series.

If at a future date, we need to re-activate the KART national speedway program, we will do so.

The KART Sprint national and series’ program has not had sufficient support to continue at this time (2009).  We cannot ask promoters to put on unprofitable events.  It is our hope that by suspending events in this division, the others trying for the same piece of the pie may strengthen their programs.

If circumstances change in the future, this program can be re-activated.

10-2-2008 KART - All Divisions

To all members and interested parties, from KART President Mike Baldus: 

KART has closed our Oklahoma office.  The need for a full-time administrative office is no longer necessary.  With the addition of part-time contract help, the Executive Office in Raymore, MO will handle the administrative duties also. 

I want to thank Karla and Maysha for the excellent job the Administrative Office has done over the past few years. 

KART had just one office for several years and we are just returning to that format to try and simplify operations.
