Most clubs run a reverse direction. Some even alternate between meetings. All that is required is for the direction of practice/racing to be clearly shown.

Yes I read it Greg. Seems perfectly straightforward to me. What am I missing?

PRACTICE SESSIONS

 It is forbidden to cross the Track, sit on tyre walls or be inside the Circuit while ever there are karts driving on the Track.

 There must be a chequered flag and a red flag available at the out grid gate at all times to enable the sessions to be controlled or alternatively a Safety Light signalling system controlled from the out grid.

 When there are more than 5 karts on the Track, an adult must be delegated with the responsibility to control the session.

 Practice should be limited to 10 minute sessions in each group (i.e. Cadets or Junior or Senior).

 It is forbidden to stop on the track for any mechanical adjustments, take tyre pressures, refuelling or to give the driver instruction. o The Mechanical Breakdown area may be used during this 10 minute session.

I don't quite understand why this has been put in, has there really been that many people hit while walking around on the track on practice days.

This is a drastic change, I'm not sure it's for the better. I am keen to understand how tracks will enforce this

GkSA wont do anything to upset the KA as they have the nationals so they will tow the KA line  when it comes to track configurations
