One new feature we have is MyLaps Practice. If you have a MyLaps personal transponder (formerly AMB) you can use it on practice days and the results will automatically post to NCMP's MyLaps Practice page.

2/23/10 -The 2010 KRA Membership form is now online.

2/2/10 - For 2010 KRA will add a Clone engine 4 cycle class. The Clone engines are low cost and must be run very close to box stock and the class is becoming very popular at many tracks. We will be using the new WKA International Class engine rules available here (sections 710 thru 710.20). KRA will also have a $200 claimer rule on the clone class for the engine. The Clone class will run on track with the Briggs Animal class and scored seperately. The class will also have open tires and sizes and a minimum weight of 365 lbs. The class will also allow CIK style bodywork or traditional style 4 cycle bodywork.

We realize this is a fairly outlaw approach in regards to bodywork and tires but a lot of new karters have purchased a wide variety of used, low cost equipment and this class will hopefully allow them to race without further expense. For a complete breakdown of the rules please visit the Classes Page.

1/21/10 - Happy New Year! The 2010 KRA Schedule is now available in PDF here!

After attending the WKA sprint race at Daytona as well as the first round of the Florida Winter Tour and seeing that the 08 Leopard is every bit the equal to the 09 Leopard, KRA will allow the 09 Leopard to compete in all KRA events.

5 - Junior Can Sportsman

7/13/09 - We have had a few questions about the YHC/YKC policy in KRA for the rest of the year. For the 2009 KRA season we will allow YHC or YKC tires in those classes that apply. The Robopong and Ironman events will be the new YKC tires only.

7/6/09 - With July 22 quickly approaching, our entries for the Race for Riley are not where they should be. This event is great for multiple reasons. First of all, we can all agree that Riley Children’s Hospital is an excellent charity to be behind. But something else that we as karters can benefit from with this event is an opportunity to showcase our sport to the general public. This benefits everyone in the karting community including drivers. The more people we can get into the sport the more cost effective it can be for each and every participant. There is no doubt that given the current economy, this is a tough year for everyone, but this is an investment in the future of your sport. So please get your entries in as soon as possible and let’s make this a very successful event both for the kids at Riley and karting. In the event that the classes offered fail to reach a minimum of 10 karts those classes will be dropped. The preentries will determine if we have these classes, the deadline is Saturday July 18th.

6/29/09 - On Saturday July 4th, KRA will run backwards with three rounds of practice in the morning. On Sunday July 5th, KRA will run the normal direction with the track layout to be determined. If you would like to preenter the KRA race online using a credit card, the online entry form is up on the website.

The 2009 Race for Riley will take place on Wednesday July 22nd, it's a great event with a lot of fun activites for the entire family and it's for a great cause. The raceday schedule and the print entry form or online entry form are available.

6/24/09 - The KRA Double Header weekend on July 4th and 5th will be YHC tires only in the classes that require YHC tires. Starting with the KRA race on July 26th it will be either/or YHC and the new YKC tire.

6/19/09 - This Friday and Saturday is one of the largest vintage kart gatherings in the country with karters from the 50's, 60's and 70's in attendance with some amazing machines on track from those era's. Friday night will be a dinner sponsored by Comet Kart Sales and everyone is invited to attend. The program ends around 2pm on Saturday so make it out early!

5/15/09 - The 2009 Ironman 150 race has been postponed until later in the year. Without a minimum of 40 karts this race makes no sense in regards to purse money and media coverage. When we reschedule the race we will make preentry mandatory, if you have already preentered for the Ironman we will just hold your entry until the rescheduled race unless otherwise notified by the entrant. We hope to make this race a big event but we are also aware that putting time on your kart equipment during the middle of the season with the current economy may be a big contributor to the low kart count.
