What are VKA events like?
Over the past 17+ years, the typical event format has usually consisted of several days of track practice sessions followed by racing heats. Events also usually include a judged Vintage Kart Show Competition, and one or more evening social gatherings. The events are less about “winning” and more about socially connecting and having FUN!
Where are the VKA Rules? … What are VKA Guidelines for?
The VKA does not define events rules, the individual event promoters do. Sometimes an event flyer might state “VKA Rules” apply, in this case, assume the VKA Guidelines will be used by the promoter for establishing the event rules. The VKA Guidelines are intended to be used across the country by event promoters for the planning of their events, with the intention of having a degree of consistency, nation-wide, across all VKA associated vintage karting events. It is entirely up to the event promoter to decide what VKA Guidelines are appropriate for their event. The VKA is not responsible for enforcing VKA Guideline compliance.
A few facts directed at common mis-understandings
> The VKA is not a sanctioning body like the IKF or WKA.
> The VKA does not provide any insurance for events.
> The VKA is not an event promoter.
> The VKA does not define or enforce event rules – the promoters do!
> The VKA does not control local option classes promoters may add to their events.
> The VKA does not dictate types of events – the promoter chooses how to demonstrate to the public what karting was like in the vintage era.
