Katana series at Western Speedway

RULES CHANGE!

Submitted by Brian Poppe, Katana Tech Director

This is a reminder that everyone will have to race on the same tires for both days in Penticton, no new spares and American Racer tires only. I would also like to take this time to inform all teams that we will not be allowing teams to run a coil bind or bump stop set-up in the front of their race car. After looking into this type of set-up we feel that it is an unfair competition advantage that is not available for everyone. So, in the spirit of fair competition, we hope everyone will comply with this change. I do not like making changes in the middle of a race season, but feel it is something that should be dealt with before teams spend a bunch of money on these types of set-ups only to find out next season they are not allowed. If anyone has any questions about this, you can e-mail me or call me at 250-488-5847. Thank you.

At the two Katana races that will be held at Western Speedway during the 2010 season both the Goodyear spec tire or the Katana American Racer tire can be used. One brand or the other must be used. No mixing or matching. Tires that are used for qualifying must be used throughout the night. If you choose the Goodyear tire it will be branded with a different brand for use in the Katana series and will only be able to be used during the 2 Katana races at Western  Speedway. They will be branded differentely so these tires will not be eligible for the local races with the following exception. If you want to use your Katana Goodyears at local events they can be rebranded to the local brand but they will count towards your count for local events. To simplify this if your only eligible for 1 tire for local race you can only present 1 tire to be branded. When you are eligible for more local tires you could present another Katana Goodyear for rebranding. If it is your first time at Western for a local race and you want to present your used Katana Goodyear’s to race they will count towards your initial purchase of the 8 tires. Example: you can buy 8 new Goodyear’s the first time you race at Western. If you present 4 tires to be rebranded you would only be able to purchase 4 new ones

If you want to rebrand tires, arrangements must be made a minimum of 2 days prior to race day.

During Katana events you can use your local tires if you don’t want to purchase new Goodyear’s, however you will not get extra tires added to your count for local races. If you choose this option your basically wearing out your local tires and will not be able to get more unless your count for local races run allows you to purchase more tires. (Katana races do not count towards the local tire count)

Tires are available from Alien Race Cars in Victoria. The price will be $135.00 per tire plus all taxes. If you choose to pay with a credit card an additional 3% will be added to cover the cost of the credit card transaction. Tire prices are FOB Victoria.
