All Club Members & their guests are subject to the rules &
penalties outlined in the current AKA manual.
The SGKC Executive reserve the right to impose penalties
on the Club Member for any misconduct or breech of the
rules by the Club Member or their guests as they see fit.
The onus is on the Club Member to ensure that they are
familiar with or have a copy of the current AKA manual.
The time clock shall be adhered to for all uncontrolled pactice
sessions regardless of the actual time. There are 3
groups—black designates senior practice. White for junior
practice & red for cadets/rookies. If only one group is present
they may use the track continuously. If two groups are
present they can share the un-used time i.e. an additional 5
mins each. If all groups are present the time clock must be
adhered to.
Under no circumstances are two groups to be on the track
at the same time. If you are on the track & see a kart from
another class on the track then get off the track immediately,
then sort out who has the right to use the track.
Should problems arise then contact a committee Member via
the phone numbers displayed adjacent the time clock. Be
prepared to provide all relevant details including any witness
details. Failure to abide by this rule for any reason may
result in the Club Member being refused future use of
the facilities.
Drivers must not voluntarily stop on any portion of the track.
If the need to stop arises then pull onto the grassed infield or
bitumised roll around. If the stoppage is the result of a crash
the drivers shall raise their hands & when the track is clear
remove the kart/s from the track. The kart/s should only be
restarted when it is safe to do so.
All non drivers on the track shall be behind safety barriers.
Passengers are not allowed
Practice shall only be conducted in an anti-clockwise
direction. Practice may be conducted in a clockwise direction
on the Club prior to a meeting to be conducted with
clockwise racing. Once the track has been prepared notification
of practice direction will be displayed on out-grid gates/
shed.
No driver that is considered to be affected by drugs or alcohol
shall use the track at any time.
Drivers must enter the track via the out-grid only & exit the
track via the in-grid only using the correct hand signals displayed
with adequate notice. Under no circumstances is
the track to be exited via the in-grid or entered via the outgrid.
During uncontrolled practice karts must be pushed off
from the out-grid furthest away from the track. Karts
must not be pushed past the no-go line painted across

proper should only occur after a breakdown or crash &
must only occur when the track is clear & safe to do so.
Drivers stopped on the track or in-field must not remove
their helmets.
All karts must meet current AKA racing standards &
must display appropriate numbers.
Drivers must only drive karts within their current licence
restriction i.e. minimum B grade for unrestricted 125cc
