Association (WKSRA) board has voted to ban the use of “radio devices” for the purpose of
communication between Driver and Parent in any and all race situations. Further use of these
radios will result in an infraction of the WKSRA By-Laws Section 6, subsection E and will result in a

stop of the race placed to the back.
If a racer receives two red flags in one class, they may be disqualified from that race for the day
at the discretion of the race director.

Red flags are to be used at the discretion of the corner people. If there is a dispute, it should be
taken up with the race director and finalized before the start of the next race.
Red flags will not be thrown in the last lap unless necessary for the safety of participants (driver or
sled in the direct path of drivers finishing the race or other dangerous situation). If a red flag is
unavoidable in the last lap the restart will consist of 2 laps.
Any sleds crossing the finish line before a red flag is thrown shall be considered finished. Any
remaining sleds will restart and complete 2 laps to finish and determine placement.
PROTESTS/DISPUTES: In the event of any protest or dispute of stock or ineligible equipment
in any class, or driver, WKSRA has enacted a $50.00/$150.00 Protest Rule. ($50.00 for stock based
Kitty Cats and $150.00 for F-3, F-1, and 120 classes). Any parent or guardian of a driver may on
any occasion protest for using illegal equipment or otherwise breaking WKSRA rules if they file an
official protest. Parent/guardian must file an official protest form with the Race Director in the
Registration Trailer/Building no later than 15 minutes after the finish of the race in question. $50.00/
$150.00 Protest Fee must accompany official protest. The Race Director will review the official
protest in the Registration Trailer/Building and determine necessary action within 15 minutes of the
end of the race day. He may consult other race directors/officials and Tech inspector(s) in the
privacy of the registration site. In the event of equipment dispute, protested machinery is
immediately impounded to the center of the race track or other secure area, until Tech
inspection is performed to determine authenticity of protest. No awards will be given to the driver
under an official protest until protest is resolved and the Race Director/Head Tech inspector
determines an answer. If the protest is warranted, the driver/family filing the protest will have their
$50.00/$150.00 returned to them. Protested machinery will be subject to any disqualification or
suspension rules. If the protest is NOT warranted and the machine and/or driver are eligible by all
the rules of WKSRA, the filing racer/family will lose the $50.00 or $150.00 Protest fee. The
50.00/$150.00 Protest fee will be given to the protested driver/family for the inconvenience of the
protest. Bad checks or stop payments of protest fee will result in an automatic one-race
suspension of driver or family.
The five elected board members of the WKSRA are to be used whenever a dispute, conflict or a
disturbance to the WKSRA has been identified and needs a resolution. This includes decisions that
occur on and off the WKSRA racetrack.
If it is not stated in these rules that you can do it, it can’t be done. Any questions concerning
rules should be directed to the Race Director(s). If decision is not satisfactory, it may be
appealed to the WKSRA officers. A vote may be taken if necessary.
Please refer to the ISR Book for full set of rules
for all classes. These rules take precedent
over and are in addition to ISR rules.
