With the Labor Day weekend fast approaching we would like to ask all of you who plan on attending “THE BIG ONE” to take the time and review your kart and safety equipment for legality. Your kart must conform to the R.E.A.R. Guidelines. Due to our insurance underwriters, our track owners and the R.E.A.R. Guidelines there can be no exceptions. (NOTE: rear engine only karts, American fan cooled 2 cycle engines, skinny hard tires)
Look here for some tips http://rearenginekarts.com/safety.htm
It is your responsibility, not ours, to ensure you have a correctly prepared kart. If you bring a kart with the wrong tires, clutch, pipe etc…..you will not be able to participate. If you think something on your kart may be in question……change it or do not bring it. Again there will be no exceptions.
May we also ask that you spread the word on this issue, we are very serious about this.
As for personal safety equipment, you are required to have a current full face helmet, abrasive resistant jacket or suit, gloves, neck collar, full length pants and closed toe shoes.
We run vintage karts in a very safe and fun atmosphere. Come on out and join in the fun.
For more info, safety gear, etc…. go to www.rearenginekarts.com and check out the parts and resources and guidelines.
Thank You
REAR

Re: TBO Safety
It's a good idea to have a fire extinguisher in your pits & on your starter. A friend of mine just lost his trailer due to a fire when he was driving down the road. Better to be safe than sorry.

Re: TBO Safety
Think about a encloseed trailer full of fumes....... just one spark from something tipping over or a battery or starter....... you got lucky.
