Avon Event Tire Rules

Post by Scott Kneisel » Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:34 pm

Just a reminder to have your karts wear vintage tires if you are coming to Avon.

Here are the rules, please comply:

Rear Karts must have vintage or period correct type tires
("Skinny" with square edges - edge radius not to exceed 1/2")
No modern sticky tires allowed on rear engine karts as a safety precaution.
All tires must be 65 durometer @ 70F or greater.
Some brands included but not limited to:
Vintage Types: Carlisle, Goodyear, General, Firestone, Eliminator, Tex-con
New Types: Carlisle, Cheng Shin, Duro (some sizes), Kenda, Vintage Speed (VST)
Tires not allowed on rear karts: Bridgestone, Dunlop, Maxim, (any modern profile tire)

Sidewinder Class:
Sidewinders should use original equipment style tires or their modern equivalent of
similar size and hardness.
We strongly suggest period type tires for the Avon track but will make an exception
to allow modern profile tires on sidewinders provided the minimum width of the rear track is
42 inches measured from the center of the tires ALL tires must be 65 durometer or greater.
