Indy Karting Series Rules

Introduction

We are not affiliated with the World Karting Association in any way, shape or form, but in an interest to allow our associates the compatibility to compete in the above listed organizations, we will follow the guidelines set forth by those associations. Indy Karting Series' PDF files will supersede all other documents. If you have questions, please address them through our technical director.

Kid Karts Parents - IKS will not tolerate any inappropriate behavior. All the participants are winners. If you do not want to follow the rules that govern this class, please do not run with IKS.

We are guests at most of the race sites we run. We expect each of you to be responsible for the conduct of your team, crew, friends and family. You are ambassadors of the sport. Conduct yourself with the highest level of professionalism both at the racing event and in the community where the racing event is being held.

Tobacco Free - Most school systems are now tobacco free campuses. If the race site is on school property we must obey that rule. No exceptions.
