These rules shall govern the condition of all events sponsored by kmsa , however there are certain rules and regulations that are set forth by different tracks that will have to be adhered to and by participating in these events. No express or implied warranty of safety shall result from publication of or compliance with these rules or regulations.

KMSA Sanction fee for all races
$30.00 members

Drivers racing in a sanctioned KMSA race must be a member or join the day of the race. We have realized it is unfair to our members for non-members to receive the same benefits as our members but not have to pay their dues. For most drivers this will save them money in the long run.

After gaining entrance to the pits all drivers must then continue to the KMSA tents for sign in and pre-race tech.

2013 KMSA Protest Procedure

A) A protest fee and written request must be made to one of the KMSA officials within 10 minutes of the end of the feature race.

B) Any driver or car owner who wishes to protest a car may do so as long as the protester’s car finishes in the top 6 of the feature and the car being protested finished above them.

C) The protest fee is $500.00 and must be in cash with $200.00 of the fee going to the association. If the car being checked is found legal the protest fee goes to the car owner/driver to help pay for gaskets etc… If it is found illegal the protest money will be returned minus the $200.00 that went to the association.

D) If the car being protested is found illegal that car and driver loses all points and all winnings, awards, etc. for the night and will face a 2 race suspension.

E) The driver or car owner of the car being protested has the right to face his/her accuser and request the car making the protest to be inspected as well, as long as he/she is willing to put up the protest fee before tech begins on his/her car. In other words, if the #00 protests the #88, the #88 has the right to protest the #00 as well.

F) Only the registered car owner or registered driver may make a protest, no crew, wives, friends, kids, etc....

***NOTICE***

At all KMSA races the top 6 cars will pull across the scales and continue on to a pre designated tech staging area. If they go to their pits first they will be disqualified no questions asked.

Taking the top 6 cars will insure an unbroken chain. This is done in order for the officials to determine the top 3 finishers, in case of a DQ because of non-compliance.

To insure everyone has their weight correct folllow this link for a Engine Displacement Calculator.
