in AIDKA brilliance, they are bringing a rule about floor trays and that by 2010 season all floor trays on all karts will need to filled in all the way to the king pins/c sections.
this will be a a massive cost to all karters as 99% of karts have a similar floor trays that dont comply.
this is crap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go AIDKA you are doing the karters good, F&*King them over like usual. dic&heads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was advised to do this by scrutineer at Yorke Peninsula 2 seasons ago so it is obvious of AIDKA's intention then so it must have been brought up at management meetings then. This is when the club representatives should bring this information back to the membership and make it known to ALL MEMBERS. It is a relatively cheap easy alteration it is not necessary to buy a whole new floor. This rule is not thought out if the floor trays need to be completely filled in stop body parts going though I would have this to been a lesser concern the area between chassis and side pod bars which I feel would be more prone to this type of action. Maybe AIDKA should look at allowing core board body panels and close in chassis to the speedway style of karts but that will never happen. There are so many inconsistencies with the rules I suppose some are better than none but hey don't just run with it because it sounded good.

You would think that common sense would stop this rule from coming in becuase it is so STUPID.
Their is always a little danger in racing and this rules would cost say 100 dollars or more for every karter to get a floor so for the sack of AIDKA. I hope they don't bring in this rule otherwise it will make the karters hate them even more than they do now.

Not sure about the background of this rule, and if it will be supported by the majority of clubs in order to make it's way into the rulebook..
I've got no issue either way, only i will say that it will cost around $10 for 2 pieces of aluminum and 4 pop rivets in order to fill in that area on your floor tray....
If you don't like the rule for whatever reason and wish to lobby against it, cost to the karter isn't the angle to attack !

Also if you want your go kart to look like crap you can add 2 pieces of aluminum and 4 pop rivets. For people that don't want there karts to look bad they will by a new floor which would be over 90% of all karters  |

I guess it depends on how well you can work with the aluminium as to how good or bad a modified floor tray will work..
I currently use 3 different floor tray configurations depending on the grip level of the track i'm racing on, i doubt anybody has even noticed the joins in the stiff tray i have..
Either way if you don't like the idea of a rule change, make sure you canvass as many of the AIDKA delegates as possible to ensure the rule isn't implemented. If you sit back and do nothing don't complain if rules are changed.

I modified my floor tray 2 seasons ago when it was brought up to me about this rule the simple modification definitely does not look like CRAP or out of place it is up to each driver/kart owner what they decide to do but a new floor tray could be an over kill to this problem

Apparently now this rule has changes regarding floor trays sizes. If you are sitting your kart and your foot came somewhere fit in a hole where the floor tray could reach and touch the ground then you have to get another floor tray. Most karts are fine with this except maybe some rookie karts the fact their feet are really small. By word of mouth I also think the new Rush kart has an illegal floor tray their is too much space and people feet could touch the ground, but I don't know for sure.  |
