As many of you may know, social media blew up a few months ago regarding claims that some competitors and “engine tuners” had discovered a way to “twist” the camshaft inside the engines without breaking the seals. Although we have stayed silent on this potential issue up until now, our team has been actively looking for a solution to prevent this.

Cup Karts of North America, a large road course series, spent months gathering data from multiple sources. Hundreds of camshafts were measured and documented from both new and well-used engines, as well as engines from multiple years of production. They also asked key partners from within the industry to provide their own findings of camshaft measurements from their own engines and/or engines they had come through their shops.

The result of this effort is a huge amount of information to base the creation of an allowable tolerance that Racing Promotions (aka Snydersville Raceway) and Oreville Kart Club will now use to inspect engines with:

• In addition to the measurements in Briggs & Stratton 206 rules section 28 – Camshaft Profile Limits Rules:
  • Centerline of the INTAKE lobe must measure 105°-107°.

This rule will take effect immediately. We will also outline the procedure in which our tech team will perform this check, and how disqualifications or suspensions will be handled for engines found not to be compliant with this rule.

We know this announcement comes very close to race season and in a time when engine are hard to get, but unless you (or your engine tuner) have been messing around with the camshaft, you will have nothing to worry about.

WKA has updated the Helmet Certifications and has now allowed the Snell K Helmets. The additional Helmet Certifications will go into effect on Friday, April 29. Click on the link to view more: Tech-Update-2022-001-Helmet-Certifications.pdf (worldkarting.com)

ATTENTION ALL SLINGSHOTS – For the 2022 Snydersville Season, a VALID Tobias Slingshot Registration and Inspection is REQUIRED for both the Jr. and AllStar divisions. The racers with 2021 Tobias Registration have until Jan. 31, 2022, to submit the registration for car number renewal. All Slingshots must have their car inspected and registered by their second race to receive the finish, points, and payout.

The following rule has been updated taking effect Sept. 15, 2021:

G.7 If a competitor wishes to protest another competitor on legality, the protest fee for minor teardown is $75 (Fuel, Tire Duro, Gear, Flywheel Check, Seals). A complete engine teardown will be $300 plus shipping of the motor to Speedway Entertainment for inspection. Both protestor and protested will sign a waiver stating the motor pulled is the motor to be tech, and it hasn’t been altered. All payout and points will be held until Speedway Entertainment makes the final verdict of the engine.
