Attention KA100 and IAME X30 Junior Racers

Attention KA100 and IAME X30 Junior class racers,

As you may have heard, SKUSA has changed the minimum weight for KA100 Junior and Senior, and IAME X30 Junior.

GCKI will NOT be making these changes at this time. Our weights will remain as posted on our current 2022 GCKI Classes document on our website for the March 6th race.

We will be looking at the karts and talking to the racers in the effected classes, and ensuring we remain aligned with Speedsportz, before we make any weight changes.

Regards,

Jay Kleinheinz
