Roger Miller states the Northern California

will have the Grand National Agreements 

ready for the April Board Meeting.

there will be a 2010 Speedway Pavement 

Grand National. Feels that they may not 

award the event in April. 

Treasurer’s Report - Presented by Hoegerl. 

Accounts Receivable Summary is as 

expected this time of year due to recent 

publication of the Tech Manual and 

the billing cycle for advertising in that 

publication. Discussed two past due 

accounts. 

Profit & Loss – 3 Year Comparison: 

Regional income, pit pass sales, and 

memberships are down from 2007. 

Income from the Grand Nationals was 

slightly increased. Overall expenses

greatly lowered in 2009 with the introduction 

of the virtual Karter News. Discusses 

cost cutting efforts by the Board. 

The goal for 2008 was to break even 

and feels that we are have successfully 

achieved that goal.

none are deal breakers but all are 

important in general: 

Discussion: Stock CR 125. Will be solid 

deal in 2009 RR GN. There will be some 

rules issues. Passes list to the Board. 

Wants them resolved before their season 

starts in March. The way they start their 

season is the way the rules will be for 

the year. States that it is basically what 

SKUSA is doing with the Stock CR 125. If 

we can incorporate what they are doing 

in the Stock class, It makes it a perfectly 

clear deal to cross over from anywhere 

you want to race. Comments by Holmboe 

not picked up on the tape. Motley 

states that Region 11and the Northwest 

wrote the rules. Mac states they have 

done it exactly the same way ever since. 

He has no problem with that and no 

problem continuing with it. 

Mac states there is one deviation that 

has taken place that he is vehemently 

opposed to. States they have raced it as a 

pure stock type of class i.e. everything is 

stock. States there was huge controversy 

at the RR GN when they had monster 

farings on the karts. It clearly says in 

the Rulebook that you don’t have that. 

Response was that was the way we do it 

here and the way it would be done at the 

GN. He states that no one in his region 

has run the monster farings in the stock 

class. This year it was adopted in the 

Rulebook. Is aware of only one person 

in the Northwest who makes the faring. 

Now all of our racers who have raced 

and supported the class since its inception, 

will have to spend $300 for the faring 

to race the class. Holmboe states the 

Northwest individual does not care if it 

goes away now. Mac does not understand 

how it got in the Rulebook. Mac 

states that everyone has a CIK faring 

on their kart-why make the $300 monster 

faring mandatory for the upcoming 

Grand Nationals. Holmboe explains why 

it was added but his comments were not 

picked up by tape. 

Discussion on the word “stock”. Says it 

is misleading. Holmboe asks what Mac 

is proposing on motors. Mac says that 

is directly out of their rules. Comment 

about pipes. Mac states the monster faring 

issue is much bigger to him. His guys 

have the equipment. Discussion of the 

monster faring. Motley discusses a draft 

of some potential SKUSA rule changes. 

Mac states they cannot show up at the 

RR GN with the wrong faring. Does not 

want his regional racers to have to spend 

$300 to participate in the class. Discussion 

of change to Section 306.9.3 in the 

Rulebook. Holmboe to work on a rule 

change for Board consideration. 

Mac states the other issue is the TaG 

class – front brakes. Based on participation 

in his region, probably 80% of the 

people who race TaG are Rotax racers. 

Rotax racers have front brakes. He will 

not tell the TaG racers on the starting 

grid of the upcoming RR GN to unhook 

their brakes before they get on the track. 

Holmboe states the reason they do not 

have front brakes. Discussion by Board 

regarding brakes. Mac feels that the 

majority of the TaG racers at the 2009 

RR GN will be Rotax racers. Verlengiere 

asks Holmboe about the Rotax racers in 

the Northwest. 

Mac is not asking for it to be mandatory, 

he is asking that it be common between 

TaG and Rotax to say the same thing. He 

does not like the idea of mixing it. He 

will always be an advocate of putting 

karts on the track, especially road racing 

at high speed, and having part of them 

with rear wheel brakes only and part 

with rear wheel and front wheel brakes. 

Discussion by Board. Mac states that 

he would like the TaG class to have the 

same wording as the Rotax class i.e. rear 

brakes optional. Mac states that the two 

item of high priority are the brakes and 

faring. The reason he brought up the faring 

issue is it affects the cost to race; he 

wants to keep the cost down. Discussion 

by Board and audience. Debbie Kuntze 

says to put in place for 2010. Mac states 

that they will need to take the class out of 

the RR GN schedule as there will be no 

participation. Mac and the Board discuss 

running the class as a local option. Verlengiere 

asks Mac what he wants. Mac 

wants the front brakes to be optional in 

TaG just like in Rotax. Additional discussion 

by Board and audience. 

Motion by Verlengiere re: Allow a one 

race exemption for the 2009 Road Race 

Grand National to run the TaG Light 

and TaG Heavy classes with optional 

front brakes. Add to Section 312. Second

Motley discusses the Super Stock rules. 

Mac asks IKF Office to distribute requested 

rule changes to the Board. Wants to 

eliminate problems prior to the Grand 

National. Mac wants any changes done 

prior to his March race. 

Jim McMillan announces a major international 

sponsor of the 2009 Road Race 

Grand National. Mac discusses the participation 

of the World Formula at the 

event. Discusses the scheduling of events 

over the RR GN. 

David Williams, Region 7 Sprint 

announcer, joins the Meeting. Discussion 

of recent PRI show. Comments that the 

event was great for karting. 

Verlengiere states that the Region 7 

Sprint series management team decided 

to implement self validating pre-tech. 

States that the karts will be stickered 

when the self validating pre tech form is 

given to the tech person. Motley states 

that the form was discussed by a previous 

Board. 

Sharon Barros asks about redrawing 

the line for Region 7 and Region 11, i.e. a 

Region 11 club hosting Region 7 events. 

Verlengiere states that the club is 40 

miles north of the line. Region 7 Sprint 

has more tracks/clubs/promoters than 

they have weekends for the events so 

they were forced to pull two supporting 

clubs from the program and go on 

the rotational system. Araki states they 

had more tracks that wanted to race in 

2009 and some tracks had to step down. 

Scribner states that there are too many 

tracks in both Regions. Araki states the 

issue is the Kerman Kart Club, which 

hosted one of the biggest attended races, 

was knocked off the schedule. Villarreal

states that they had tried to realign a 

couple of years ago and asks what happened. 

Hilger states they are going to 

adopt where you can have two regional 

series in one region. Scribner feels a great 

club is being denied a race for a whole 

year. Verlengiere states that Santa Maria 

and Kerman were offered a date but felt 

that eight races were enough for a year. 

Discussion of realignment of Regions 7 

and 11. Hilger states it will be done by 

the February Board Meeting. 

IKF Executive Director - Verlengiere 

feels the sport needs some form of governing, 

some sense of rules, and some 

continuity. IKF is a quiet company, maintained 

a Rulebook, and empowered local 

people at all levels to build and create the 

program. The environment has changed 

and there is more profit and opportunity 

out there in the different regions and at 

different levels of competition. All of us 

are part time volunteers with full time 

jobs. He feels they all do their best to help 

the IKF but feels we are at a crossroads. 

Feels the way we are structured, it is very 

difficult to grow the company. Feels 

that the IKF needs a person with a huge 

amount of energy, enthusiasm, an understanding 

of the sport of karting to go out 

there and build this company. Which 

means that the Board of Directors needs 

to step back, create a plan, share the plan 

with that person and create a roadmap 

and evaluate the progress at scheduled 

Board Meetings. Finding that person is 

the biggest problem of all; it has to be a 

special person. Feels that at this point in 

time that we need an Executive Director. 

In order to do that we have changed our 

insurance pass prices dramatically. We 

have been able to maintain status quo. 

We have got a number of tracks back, 

made adjustments in other areas and 

made ourselves competitive with other 

companies. We need someone to take it 

to the next step. It is going to cost a lot 

of money and once again, we are going 

to gamble the company because anyone 

with any talent is going to cost money 

(tied to salary and performance). The 

right person can create something exciting 

about the IKF in the karting community 

with people want to come to this 

company. Currently we don’t have that 

– we are working on it. We need someone 

to create that. Discussion of prior 

Executive Directors. Debbie Kuntze says 

they had no plan; Julie Kuntze says that 

they did not have a mission statement, a 

goal. Verlengiere states that there is huge 

chaos in karting today. Agrees that there 

is huge opportunity to grow. Hilger says 

there is huge risk. Mac says they need 

the right agenda and the right person. 

Hilger says that we need to attract the 

Juniors. Verlengiere says there is a ton 

of business out there. Hilger could be 

gone by the time they get someone out 

there; they need someone to get sponsors 

and excite the people. Agrees that 

we need the right person. Debbie Kuntze 

states they need a job description with 

accountability. Verlengiere states they 

would share in the revenue. Mac states 

that they will need to understand karting.Villarreal 

says they need an outside 

source to do the interviewing. Motley 

agrees. Hilger states there will expense 

in addition to salary. Mac discusses a 

possible new Sprint regional program 

in Texas. Hilger suggests that someone 

meet with the track/club. 

Motley states the SFI Tech Director 

Inspection matter needs to be readdressed. 

Discussion of current IKF safety 

items. Verlengiere asks if we will have 

better tech people Motley says it will 

make sure they know the Rulebook, it 

will elevate those persons interested in 

doing tech to a more formalized structure. 

Verlengiere asks if Motley comes 

across unqualified techs Motley says 

not usually when he does it. Verlengiere 

asks if he is not giving them free reign. 

Motley replies he is absolutely correct. 

Araki states that every series and area 

has that problem, especially in the pre 

tech area.Discusses legal position if you 

only certify some safety equipment. 

Hilger states that there is an advantage 

to have SFI. Discusses certification. 

Motley states that other organizations 

certify their tech personnel. Hoegerl 

states that there are not enough tech 

people to go around.

Clone Testing - Hilger states that we do 

not have any results of the clone engine 

testing at this point. There has been some 

engines running on dynos and waiting 

on parts for another. Hilger states they 

are still looking at it. Need more data 

back.Hoegerl asks what we will do when 

our tracks request to run the engine as a 

local option. Verlengiere states that we 

should be proactive. Hoegerl says there 

is a lot of excitement about this engine 

and asks if we are going to insure it; he 

thought there would be an answer at the 

Meeting today. Hilger says we will have 

to ask the insurance company. We have 

no National rules. Discussion of the flywheel. 

Engine has changed from 2008 to 

2009. Tremendous problems with tech 

issues. Discussion of class, engine and 

tech issues. Hoegerl says that tracks are 

setting their own rules. Hilger told them 

to put a claimer on the engines if they 

are going to run at the tracks. Hoegerl 

felt that we would be a leader in this not 

a follower; people are looking for direction 

and someone needs to start leading. 

Verlengiere agrees. Hilger asks who will 

pay the engine fee for the clone engine. 

Scribner does not remember the Local

Verlengiere asks to speak about sponsors 

and the clone motors. Appreciates 

that there has been long time sponsors 

of the IKF. Companies have come along 

with competing products and nobody 

hesitated to plug them in at the expense 

of other people who have supported 

the IKF – that’s business and he accepts 

that. He gets the distinct feeling that 

we are obstructing the clone motor, he 

does not feel this is in our customers 

best interest. He may be wrong but that 

is the impression that he gets. Verlengiere 

asks where the facts and dissention 

are coming from - just what he sees out 

there. Verlengiere does not feel that it 

serves our members to continually put 

off addressing what we are going to do 

with those things because we feel obligated 

to sponsors. Hilger states that no 

region has come to him wanting run 

the clone engine. Hoegerl states that a 

couple of tracks in his region run it at 

their club races and from being at the 

meeting, they were told they could not 

ask for insurance from us to run it at 

their club races and definitely not at 

their regional events. Hilger states that 

he told them the only issue he had was 

that he would like to have a statement 

from the engine builder that it is a racing 

engine. Scribner asks if we require 

that from anyone else. Verlengiere feels 

that we are bringing undue hurdles to 

this company or a group of importers. 

The market will determine the viability 

of the motor. States that Hoegerl is 

asking for us to show some leadership 

to our members that want to use the 

product. At least address it and come 

up with something good. Hilger states 

they are addressing it at a track right 

now and the clone people are meeting 

this weekend in Iowa. Hoegerl says he 

fully expected the testing to be done. 

We knew this was going to cost us some 

money. He expected the guys to blow a 

motor up. Wanted to know where that 

threshold was. Verlengiere states that 

maybe Ralph should send the motors 

to RLV. Hilger says parts are on back 

order. Hoegerl says if they blow up one 

motor, we will send him another motor 

to test. Schorn states that he has not got 

his motor yet. Scribner says that it was 

supposed to be done and the results 

by this meeting; we are not progressing 

in the schedule that was set forth. 

Verlengiere states that, if the motors are 

a complete disaster, why are so many 

people running it. Asks him to consider 

our members and examine it. Nash suggests 

they do a claimer. Nash states they 

need some rules. Hilger states that he 

would be expecting some input on the 

clone from the 4 Cycle Tech Committee. 

Nash says this is the first he has heard 

of the clone testing. Hilger states that 

clone testing was discussed at the previous 

Board Meeting and is the Meeting 

Minutes. Verlengiere states that he does 

not want to do anything with the clone, 

he wants the people on this Board and 

the Committees that represent that end 

of the sport to investigate and decide. 

Nash states the best dyno is to put it on 

a go kart and run it all day long. Hoe- 


gerl asks if Verlengiere can send a motor 

to Nash for testing. Nash agrees to do 

the testing. Hoegerl says the members 

are coming to the IKF wanting to run 

the motors. Schorn asks why we do not 

adopt the AKRA rules. Hoegerl is not 

interested in adopting the rules today 

without any kind of testing. But he is 

interested in getting a motor to Nash. 

Hilger says to have Verlengiere send the 

motor. Verlengiere says there is a lot of 

momentum in the Southeast.

board discusses section 104.12.4. 

hilger states he is working hard to get 

clutch guards on 4 cycle classes. people 

working on different versions. states it 

will be a rule by 2010. clarifies this is for 

4 cycle speedway, not sprint. hoegerl 

suggests this should go through the proposal 

system. early notification should 

be done. hilger agrees. 

hilger discusses braided brake lines on 

speedway karts. feels kart manufacturers 

should proceed with them also. just 

suggesting this. 

verlengiere asks for flow chart for the 

rule additions, changes and updates that 

roger Miller will be doing. states the 

board will control what information goes 

in the magazine and ikf website. board 

will approve the Minutes and then the 

verbiage will be added to the ikf website 

and karter news magazine. 

hilger tells Motley to ask the 4 cycle 

Tech committee about the homologation 

fee. consider it still an animal 

engine. 

Motley tells the board to keep in mind 

that 2009 is the last year of the tire 

approval process. it will need to be done 

again. priorprocess was well portrayed 

and got a lot of response to it. hilger 

asks if he needs to put it in the karter 

news. verlengiere states that southern 

california sprint has a multi year contract 

with bridgestone, at least 6 years 

– does not know how that will affect the 

program. Motley says they need to go 

through rfp process as before. Tabled 

for future discussion. 

Motley asks to change the date of the 

april board Meeting. no change done. 

hilger asks araki his impressions of 

his first board Meeting as a director. 

felt the process was fair, board was 

open minded, decisions not made based 

on personal feelings or personal gain. 

from the outside membership, there 

is a perception of the board being self 

serving. hilger says they have a voice. 

verlengiere states that the people do 

not perceive that the board listens to 

people. don amigliore feels that his 

voice is heard here. Motley says the 

competitor has a voice and at the event 

also. amigliore says they need to educate 

and organize. verlengiere states 

that the reputation of past boards being 

self serving was earned. a whole new 

concept in the last 6-8 years. amigliore 

states that his past perception has been 

you get manufacturers on the board 

and part of that is self serving. Maybe 

you want to help write the rules, help 

influence the board and sell your products. 

Then you go to the track and find 

that there is a tire rule or an oil rule, 

that seems very self serving. Those are 

the things that you see as a racer. in the 

past, look who is on the board. Manufacturers 

from five different companies. 

verlengiere states that the manufacturers 

support the sport of karting. 

hilger states the next board is april 

18-19, 2009. verlengiere discusses the 

proposals for the Meeting. 

Motley states that the perception and 

attitude of the board has changed over 

the years.

Phone Meeting 

Minutes 

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 

The IKF Board of Directors met via 

telephone conference on Wednesday, 

February 11, 2009 at 5:00 PM (PST). 

The Meeting was called to order by 

President Hilger. Present at roll call 

were Directors Mr. Jack Hoegerl, Mr. 

John Motley, Mr. Rick Scribner, Mr. 

Mike Schorn, Mr. Art Verlengiere, Mr. 

Glenn Araki and IKF Office Manager, 

Pat Eldridge. Mr. Don Holmboe and 

Mr. Gary Richter were not present at 


2009 Speedway Pavement 

Grand National Questionnaire 

Hilger states the questionnaire was 

received from Jamaica Speedway. Discussion 

of security deposit. Will be a 

Firestone only rule; they will be major 

sponsor of the event. Hoegerl asks 

Hilger if it is still the tire of choice, 

reply is yes. States that they will be 

running the same spec tire in their 

pavement series. Nothing new. 

Verlengiere asks for deposit information 

for the 2009 Road Race Grand 

National. Hilger confirms deposit 

received. Clarifies that the deposit 

remains until all paperwork and funds 

are finalized. 

Section 104.6.5 Exceptions 

Hilger states the IKF office received 

a request for an exception from a non- 

IKF member. The non-member participates 

in IKF insured events, running 

under IKF rules. Discussion by Board. 

Araki states that participants have run 

out of their class and it was put back on 

the tracks to control this from happening. 

Verlengiere says they are talking 

about moving up for age not necessarily 

moving from Seniors back to Juniors. 

Araki refers to participants moving up 

from Junior to Senior classes at a club 

race that is IKF insured and then get 

turned in by an IKF member later and 

not be moved up because he was not 

eligible. States that the club would take 

care of the problem. Hilger states that 

is how it was done in the past. Verlengiere 

asks Hilger if they are talking 

about a 14 year old that wants to get 

an exemption to run as an adult. Hilger 

says that is correct. Araki confirms 

that it the same thing. Araki states it 

could be a 14 or 15 year old wanting 

to run the adult class but is not eligible 

at that time to race in that class. But 

they would do it anyway. Araki asks 

if the IKF Board should let each club at 

an IKF sanctioned track individually 

handle the situation. Hilger states that 

IKF should know if it is happening at 

IKF insured events. Board agrees that 

the non-IKF member request can be 

submitted for approval. 

Hilger asks how the wristband matter 

worked at CalSpeed. Clarified that 

wristbands were used at CalSpeed. 

Verlengiere states he will ask the tracks 

at an upcoming meeting. Araki states 

sign up went smoothly. 

Hilger informs Board of waiver information 

requirements from our insurance 

company. Recent posting on a 

website also discussed the importance 

of waivers. 

Hilger states his meeting regarding 

the Duffy casting is postponed to a 

later date due to bad weather. 

2008 Financial Report 

Hoegerl states the financial report for 

2008 given at the January Board Meeting 

indicated a small profit for the year. 

As a result of adjustments for depreciation 

of office equipment and payroll 

liabilities, the final report for 2008 

resulted in a small net loss. Verlengiere 

comments “Good Job” to Hoegerl. 

SFI Tech Certification 

Hoegerl talked to Mr. Carl Olson from 

SFI regarding the tech certification. 

States SFI is very interested in putting 

together a 2 and 4 cycle certification 

program for the IKF. Their certification 

program runs for 2 years, expiring 

December 31st. The participation minimum 

age is 18. Olson stated he would 

need 3-4 weeks to assemble the test. 

He works out of the IKF Tech Book. 

He puts the test together and sends to 

the 2 and 4 cycle committee chairmen 

for them to approve and/or make any 

changes that need to be done. After 

that, it is up to the IKF to have a 2 and 4 

cycle tech seminar and they administer 

the test during that event. The tests are 

sent to SFI, are graded, certifications 

are sent out from SFI with a SFI patch 

to the persons who passed the test. 

All their work is included in our SFI 

yearly sanction fee. Hoegerl states 

his concern is when, where and how 

the IKF would conduct the seminars 

where they felt they would get some 

participation to cover the expenses for 

the event. Sounds like there are really 

no hang ups to go through with this 

process; seems very willing and able 

to do it. Hilger asks if they would need 

to pick different locations, travel wise; 

Hoegerl agrees. Motley gives information 

to the Board regarding his previous 

experience doing this. Hoegerl 

discusses previous events with Carl 

Olson, i.e. stand alone events, larger 

events. Best participation was where 

there were other big events going on 

where the people were already there. 

Hoegerl states he is not looking for 

answers tonight but feels it can be 

done. His concern is the two years. 

Feels the best time to do it would 

have been at the January Board Meeting. 

Light weekend, rooms available. 

Not a lot of racing is going on at that 

time. Discussion of how to do in the 

Mid West, Hilger suggests Des Moines. 

Hoegerl agrees. Hoegerl has no specific 

dates right now. Hilger suggests 

a letter to engine builders to see what 

interest they have. Motley suggests the 

expiration date could be July 1st. 

Motley states the one he attended had 

more non-engine builders than engine 

builders; persons interested in doing it 

to upgrade their clubs tech. 

2009 IKF Board Meeting Locations 

Verlengiere states the Board needs to 

have a Board Meeting in Sacramento 

this year, Seattle next year. Problems 

in Region 11, we need to invite people, 

take input, really need to go to Sacramento. 

Hilger states it would have to 

be the Fall Meeting. Scribner states it is 

a great idea but last year when we had 

a meeting in Sacramento, he made flyers, 

posted them at the races, handed 

them out in all the pits, inviting them 

to the Meeting, and no one showed up 

at the Meeting. Verlengiere asks when 

a change can be made, Hilger replies 

a change can be made after the April 

Meeting. Verlengiere asks the Board 

to think about it and decide after the 

next meeting. 


2009 Road Race Grand National Tire Rule 

Verlengiere states he did not realize 

the tire rule for the 2009 Road Race 

Grand National was approved. Motley 

states the only classes mandated for 

MG tires are the set up Sprint classes. 

Verlengiere asks if any Board Member 

cares if that is the only tire contrary to 

the Rulebook. Verlengiere reads Holmboe’s 

comments. Scribner asks what 

the rulebook says – reply is tires are 

open at the Road Race Grand National. 

Hilger asks if tires are open at every 

Grand National; replies are no. Hilger 

states Speedway is open but they go 

out and get a tire deal and tire rule. No 

spec tire program. Verlengiere asks 

who approves the tire rules. Hilger 

states the Board will pretty much follow 

what the Speedway Committee 

will do. States it helps the competitor 

because they only have to bring one 

brand of tire to the race. Verlengiere 

states that maybe it is a non-issue. Asks 

Hilger if the Board approved. Hilger 

met with them and had no problem 

approving it. One class over what the 

Rulebook allows – felt it would not be 

an issue. 

Rotax Front Brake Issue 

Verlengiere asks to revisit the Rotax 

front brake decision. Board received 

a letter from Jim McMillan asking to 

revert back to the way it was before 

they voted at the January Board Meeting. 

Motion by Verlengiere to nullify the 

vote re: Section 312 IKF RR GN Schedule 

2009 

Delete the 6th paragraph: Allow a one 

race exemption for the 2009 Road Race 

Grand National to run the TaG Light 

and TaG Heavy classes with optional 

front brakes. 


In Favor: Araki, Hoegerl, Motley, 

Schorn, Scribner, Verlengiere 

Absent: Holmboe, Richter 

Passed 

Verlengiere states he received a phone 

call regarding an announcement at 

the 1st Florida Winter Tour Race that 

the IKF was adopting the KF engine 

program. Verlengiere called Motley 

and shared this information. Motley 

believes the statement was the WKA 

and IKF were looking at KF engines. Is 

an accurate statement. 

Clone Engine Discussion 

Verlengiere states he talked with 

Ralph Woodard and he is done with 

the testing. He gave the dyno sheet to 

Hilger. Verlengiere asks if he gave him 

anything to compare it with, Hilger 

says no. 

Hilger spoke with Lee about the flywheel 

thing. He said he had concerns 

with it, but thought if no one messed 

with anything, he thought it would be 

ok. It just died when it got to an upper 

range. Discussion of horsepower, rpm. 

Verlengiere asks if Terry has got back 

with anybody; Hilger has not heard 

anything. Hilger states that in his area 

a local track is looking into putting in 

a box stock clone with a moderately 

priced entry level kart. Verlengiere asks 

if we are still working on that, Hilger 

states that the 4 cycle technical committee 

is still proceeding with getting 

more data from additional testing. 

2009 Road Race Grand National Tire Rule 

Hoegerl has concerns about the tires 

being selected for any of the Grand 

Nationals without going through the 

Board. This is totally new to him. If 

they come to the Board and say we 

have this deal, can we have a spec tire 

at the Grand Nationals; the Board had 

to approve it in the past. Asked how the 

Road Race deal went through. Hilger 

states when he went down there they 

could do it because no one else wanted 

to do Road Race. He worked a deal 

with them so they could have the Road 

Race Grand National. They felt the MG 

tire was the best tire for it. Scribner 

thinks that Hoegerl is trying to say the 

Board needs to formalize that because 

it is contrary to the Rulebook. So Mac 

needs to come to the Board, they need 

to vote on it, formalize it and post it on 

the website. Or, Hoegerl states, Hilger 

needed to bring it to the Board and tell 

him what he had to do to make it happen. 

Board will probably follow. Scribner 

feels it should be formalized and 

published on the website. Motley says 

it is a unique situation and the Board 

should support it. 

Motion by Verlengiere re: Approve 

MG Tires for specific classes at the 2009 

Road Race Grand National. (Specific 

classes to be posted on the IKF website.) 

Second by Scribner. 

In Favor: Araki, Hoegerl, Motley, 

Scribner, Verlengiere 

Opposed: Schorn 


Passed 

IKF Pre Tech Certification Form 

Motley states the pre tech form was 

used at the Region 7 Sprint race this 

past weekend. Felt it went really well, 

good conformance to the rules, very 

few issues. Explains incidents at the 

event. Will use inexpensive chassis tag 

next time to tag them once they are 

teched. Hoegerl asks when the tags 

would be put on. Motley replies they 

had them bring the completed paperwork 

to the tech area and then handed 

them a sticker. They will hand them an 

inexpensive armband with instructions 

on how to put them on. Suggests having 

plenty of spare forms at the tech 

area. Worked pretty well. Expected 

more issues with things not being in 

conformance. He was happy with it. 

Once the competitors get the swing 

of things, it will work well. Discussion 

by Araki and Motley. Motley says 

really thorough spot checks were done 

throughout the day and a lot of checking 

when they came through. Key was 

doing all the checking. 

KF Engines 

Motley asks the Board if they have 

been following the KF engine thread 

on the internet. About slowing down 

the TaG Leopard and Leopard Juniors 

then rescinded the decision. The IKF, 

except in a couple of regions, does not 

run many Junior TaGs with Junior 

Leopard TaGs, a handful in Region 11 

and small handful in Region 6. Comments 

that one of the arguments for 

rescinding it was all of the complaints 

they had on the internet. States there 

were 6 guys who complained a lot. 

Was told they did it because, if you are 

going to slow the Leopard down, you 

better slow the KF3’s down as they are 

just as fast. He looked at that, however, 

the TaG Juniors were faster than 

the KF3’s. Feels that something will be 

done and appropriate the IKF should 

follow. Scribner and Motley discuss 

how to slow them down. Feels some 

testing was flawed. Holmboe did dyno 

runs for him. Wants the Board to be 

aware of this.

Region 6 Local Option Classes 

Motley states last year they ran the TaG 

classes in Region 6 with TaG USA rules. 

Was not happy as there are conflicts in 

the rules. For 2009, there were going 

to change and go to all IKF. Now they 

are requesting to TaG USA rules in the 

TaG classes in Region 6. Worse this year 

as TaG USA will allow the 2009 Leopard. 

Back to local option issue and why 

it is a problem/issue. Schorn explains 

how/why this came about. No match 

funds from the IKF. Discussion of 2009 

Leopard, which is not IKF approved. 

Motley states the PRD Spec class had 

a tremendous turnout at the Region 7 

Sprint race. And entrants came back 

on Sunday for the regular TaG Class. 

Schorn asks about the weight break for 

the PRD in TaG USA. 

Section 104.6.5 Exception 

Araki asks if the Board needs to set 

some type of guidelines for the approval 

process. Have received requests 

where they are not of age according to 

the Rulebook. Needs to be within the 12 

month period of their age group. New 

process they are encountering. Need 

to set guidelines on who they approve 

and who they not approve. Discussion 

of current exception requests. Araki 

states that in certain senior sprint classes 

the competitor has to be competition 

age 16, not attained age 15. Verlengiere 

gives history of the reasons for the 

exceptions. Araki gives example to 

Board. Lengthy discussion by Board. 

Verlengiere suggests the Exception 

Request include the classes they want 

to move up in. Send to Committee for 

verification. Board agrees. 

Race Scheduling 

Scribner states Region 5 Speedway 

scheduled two regional races on two 

different tracks on the same day. Was 

told the promoters were fine with it 

but he asks how the karters feel about 

this. Hoegerl states this was done in the 

past for several years. Region has 18-20 

races a year, hard not to have a race on 

the same night. At the regional meeting, 

the promoters did not have a problem 

with it. Understands the concern about 

the participants. Unless they are given 

direction that they cannot do it, it will 

probably happen again. Hilger states 

he was at the regional meeting and 

argued the point, but they want to have 

all of their punch races in June before 

the Grand National because they want 

their punches. After the Grand National, 

they don’t care about the punches. 

Hilger had one complaint –they don’t 

travel. His problem was with one track 

allowing both IKF and non-IKF members 

on the track at a regional race. 

Hoegerl tells Scribner that he can send 

an email or newsletter out to tell them 

to stop doing this. Hoegerl says it has 

happened for many years and the promoters 

do not seem to care. Schorn suggests 

Scribner send an email to approve 

this time but they should start working 

to not have regional races on the same 

date. Scribner and Hoegerl agree. Hilger 

says the regional coordinator argued 

the point too but it fell on deaf ears. 

Hoegerl states that it should be forwarded 

to the coordinators and governors 

and they will make every attempt 

not to do it next year. Scribner states 

that he gets the regional series in all 

kinds of formats and is hard to figure 

out. Wants to develop a form for next 

year so everyone submits their schedule 

on a standardized form. Hoegerl 

states that the tracks want to have their 

races before the Nationals because their 

turnout is very small after the Nationals. 

Hilger says it keeps the racers at 

their local tracks to get their punches 

instead of traveling somewhere else 

before the Nationals. 

Section 716 

Schorn discusses Section 716.16.3. 

Scribner states he received a call 

regarding this. Hoegerl asks Schorn 

if this came from Terry Nash; Schorn 

says he discussed this with Terry. Terry 

asked him to poll the committee members 

and he gave Terry the information. 

Verlengiere comments to Hoegerl 

that he hates doing things like this. He 

received the information this afternoon. 

Has not been able to make any phone 

calls. Schorn states that he polled the 

Committee Members; he did not talk to 

Lee Miller or Syd White. Terry talked to 

Syd about it. The rest of the Committee 

Members were in agreement. Mike 

Alton said Lee Miller wanted to do this 

also. Talked to Andy Bear and couple 

of other engine builders, WKA trustees 

– all of the same opinion. Hoegerl 

asks about people that have built their 


motors by the rules as printed now – 

Schorn replies they are still legal. Hoegerl 

states it is the perception of how 

much horse power one makes over 

the other. Schorn states zero difference 

in the Seniors, 2/10ths of a hp in 

the Juniors, can make that up in tires. 

Schorn makes it easier for the home 

builder. Araki asks for and Schorn 

gives a history of the rule. Discussion 

by Board. 

Motion by Scribner to accept the recommendation 

of Mike Schorn and Terry 

Nash re: Section 716.16.3 Valve Length 

Change to read: Minimum intake and 

exhaust valve length is 3.250”. 


In Favor: Araki, Motley, Schorn, 

Scribner 

Opposed: Verlengiere 

Abstain: Hoegerl 


Passed 

2009 Road Race Grand National Classes 

Schorn states they are going to run 

two World Formula classes if enough 

entries come, asks if they have a cut 

off date. Hilger states they were not on 

the original list of classes. Schorn states 

some local racers called him and said 

the classes were not on the list. Asked 

what they need to do to get it run. 

Told them to sponsor the class and put 

money in for it. Does not know what 

happened since then. Schorn states 

that not all of them know it is spec tires 

now, that might change their idea also. 

Schorn will support whatever they 

want to do; just needs to know what 

it is. Hilger states that. if the promoter 

does not feel that he will get enough 

entries, he should not be forced to run 

the class if he can drop it. Schorn wants 

to know what the cut off date is. Hilger 

does not know. Hilger will talk to Jim 

McMillan. 

TaG Engine 

Motley states that next years TaG 

engines will be the same as this years 

TaG engines as they were approved 

through 2010. Verlengiere states his 

reference was to the KF Motor. Motley 

is not proposing anything on that; just 

keep in mind as potentially a solution to 

the problem they have with the current 

TaG Motors. Those motors are highly 

controlled in terms of what can be done 

on them as opposed to open. Basically 

why he brought 

that up. Thought 

for a change we 

could look at 

things more than 

a year in advance. 

Verlengiere is not 

opposed to looking 

at it but would 

like to let someone 

else guinea 

pig out there for 

a change. Motley 

says there 

will be plenty of 

guinea pigging. 

They have been 

running internationally 

now for 

the third year. 

Verlengiere states 

they had tabled a 

decision. Motley 

says they will continue 

to look at it, 

monitor it and see 

what changes are 

made. Verlengiere 

agrees. 

Director Position 

Hilger states he had not yet received 

a formal resignation letter from Gary 

Richter. Discussion of possible appointees 

by Board. 

2009 Road Race Grand National Tech Director 

Discussion by Board re: Tech Director 

for the event. Motley spoke with Jim 

McMillan today. McMillan requested 

Motley for the event; also wants him to 

be in charge of tech for the event. Motley 

accepts the appointment as Tech 

Director for the 2009 Road Race Grand 

Nationals. 

Redraw Region 7/11 Lines 

Scribner states it is not time to do 

this. Scribner, Araki and the Region 11 

Coordinator had a meeting 2-3 weeks 

ago to identify problems, laid out some 

possible fixes for next year; it is still a 

work in progress. Wants to see the race 

season progress a little bit to see what 

the mood is, what kind of participation 

they are getting, etc. before they make 

any drastic moves to redraw the lines. 

Scribner tables this matter to the September 

Board Meeting. 

RFP 

Board discusses the RFP for tires. 2009 

2 Cycle Sprint Grand National Race 

Director 

Motley suggested the race director be 

someone from out of the area. Scribner 

asks what we need to do. Schorn states 

the Board needs to approve it. Verlengiere 

feels, like any other division, it is 

extremely volatile to have someone that 

close to home; absolutely agrees it is a 

problem. Schorn offers to do it. Scribner 

asks Verlengiere to do it, he says no. 

Discussion by Board of possible Race 

Directors for the event. Board to continue 

to work on this. 

This is Karting Brochure 

Hilger reminds the Board to get their 

updates to Felton, with a copy to Pat. 

2009 Grand National T-Shirts from Promoters 

Hoegerl asked about the IKF logo on 

the shirts. Clarified the logo is to be 3” x 

4” on the left hand side of the shirt. 

Motion to Adjourn by Verlengiere. 

Second by Scribner. 

Meeting Adjourned at 6:55pm.

TAYLOR MIINCH VICTORIOUS 

IN IKF ACTION 

Californian scores three poles, three 

victories and four podiums. 

February 12, 2009 – 14-year-old Taylor 

Miinch had a successful event this 

past weekend at the International Kart 

Federation (IKF) Region 7 race as the 

Top Kart driver scored three victories 

and four podiums. Along with the final 

results, Miinch also scored three pole 

positions as he started his West coast 

karting action off in fine form. 

Saturday: With a dual race day format, 

Miinch would participate in both 

the Yamaha Junior Super Sportsman 

and HPV 2 divisions in both Saturday 

and Sunday’s action. Looking to continue 

the momentum from his triple 

Duffy win last season, Miinch started 

the IKF season off in fine form as he 

scored the pole position in the Yamaha 

division. Miinch progressed through 

the heat race, taking the checkered flag 

over the field of drivers. As the rain 

continued to fall for the final, Miinch 

made it a perfect day by taking the 

main event victory by more than 14 

seconds 

Looking to continue his Yamaha 

success in HPV 2, Miinch narrowly 

missed the pole and would start inside 

the second row in the third position. 

Looking to improve throughout the 

day, Miinch did so as he led the final 

until late in the race. Looking to score 

his second victory of the day, Miinch’s 

process was impeded by a kart that cut 

the track. With officials not having a 

direct view of the incident, Miinch had 

to settle for a second place result and 

his second podium of the day. 

Sunday: Happy with Saturday’s 

results, Miinch came out of the box 

on Sunday morning looking for more. 

With the rain falling throughout Saturday’s 

action, Sunday looked to be 

the same as early morning showers 

forced rain tires back on the kart for 

qualifying. Looking at ease behind the 

wheel of his P1 Engines powered Top 

Kart, Miinch went on to score the pole 

position in both classes of competition. 

HPV 2 was a carbon copy of Saturday’s 

Yamaha Junior Super Sportsman final 

as Miinch took the lead early and never 

looked back. The talented Californian 

turned some of the fastest laps of the 

event showing true consistency to draw 

away from the strong field to take his 

second victory of the weekend. 

Next on the docket was the Yamaha 

division where Miinch was again the 

kart to beat. Getting knocked off the 

track early; Miinch had to take evasive 

action to get back on course all while 

being careful not to advance his position. 

Working hard, Miinch worked 

his way through the field and to the 

lead. The consistent pilot got into 

another one of his unbeatable rhythms 

and drew away from the field to score 

his third victory of the weekend and 

a sweep in the Yamaha Junior Super 

Sportsman class. 

Taylor will enjoy one weekend off 

before traveling across the country to 

Florida. Looking to keep his momentum 

rolling at the Homestead Karting 

Complex, Miinch will do battle in the 

TaG Junior and KF3 divisions at the 

Florida Winter Tour. 

Taylor would like to thank his current 

sponsors: Grand Products, Top 

Kart, PKS Kart Supply, Douglas Wheel, 

Crystal Cleaners, P1 Engines, Whisler 

Racing Services, Holeshot Drive Systems, 

Jon Dell Construction, Charlie's
