must be conducted outside the racetrack area. [Refer Rule 1.07 (jj)].
7.20 In the rest of this Chapter the person or body making the Complaint is called the Complainant.
7.21 If the Complainant does not know what regulation is relevant, the Stewards must attempt to nd
the relevant regulation.
7.22 The Stewards must, when all parties are present, tell the other parties which regulation is believed
to be relevant.
7.23 If the Stewards believe that a regulation is relevant which is different from that stated by the
Complainant, all parties must be advised.
7.24 The Complaint must then be dealt with on that basis. It is the intention of these Rules that a
person should not escape responsibility for a breach of these Rules because a Complaint is wrongly
framed.
7.25 When a Complaint is made, the Stewards must decide which persons may be materially affected by
the decision of the Complaint.
7.26 Those persons must then be invited to attend when the Complaint is dealt with.
7.27 A person need not be invited to attend if the only way in which that person may be affected is by
being advanced in position (without being placed).
7.28 An invitation to attend the hearing of a Complaint made at a race meeting may be made by
announcement on the public address system. However, the Stewards must ensure that a person
against who a complaint has been made is aware of the hearing, by personal contact if necessary.
Failure by the invitee to attend a hearing does not mean the complaint cannot be dealt with.
7.29 Midget, Rookie and Junior competitors who attend the hearing of a Complaint must be
accompanied by a parent or guardian or other adult.
7.30 The young person may consult the adult, but the adult must not speak to the Stewards unless,
in the opinion of the Stewards, the young person will suffer serious prejudice unless the adult is
permitted to speak.
7.31 A person invited to attend the hearing of a Complaint may nominate another person to attend as
the representative of that person.
7.32 The Stewards may treat the nominee, in the absence from the hearing of the nominator, in all
respects as the nominator.
7.33 The nominator cannot complain of not being given an opportunity to speak or to exercise any
other right, if the nominee is given that right while the nominator is absent from the hearing.
7.34 A Complaint made at a race meeting must be dealt with as soon as possible.
7.35 At least two Stewards must deal with a Complaint made at a race meeting.
7.36 The Complainant must outline the facts on which the Complaint is based and to produce evidence.
7.37 The other parties must then be asked what they have to say in support or in reply and to provide
any other relevant evidence.
7.38 The Stewards must decide whether a regulation has been broken and, if so, who has broken it.
7.39 If it is decided that a regulation has been broken by a particular person, that person must be asked
whether there is anything that person wishes to say which will be relevant in determining the
appropriate penalty.
7.40 The Complainant must also be asked the same question.
7.41 The Stewards must decide whether the appropriate penalty is within the power of the Stewards as
set out in these Regulations.
7.42 Exclusion and Referral for Penalty
1. Fine (up to $1,000.00)
2. Revise nishing order
3. Revise grid position
4. Place / points penalty, loss of point for heat or exclusion from that section of the event
5. Loss of points for the day
6. Exclusion from event
7. Exclusion from meeting (and consider referral to SKC Tribunal)
8. Suspension (up to 6 months)
7.42. 1. The Stewards must also advise the parties what penalty, if any, will be recommended to the
Tribunal, but advise that the Disciplinary Tribunal may vary the penalty.
7.43 In all other cases the Stewards must decide what is the appropriate penalty. Any penalty shall be
given in writing on the AKA ofcial form.
7.44 If the Stewards do not make a decision which is favourable to the Complainant or if the complaint
is withdrawn, the fee for the complaint shall normally be forfeited.
7.45 Once a decision on a Complaint is made, all parties must be advised that they have a right of
appeal to an Appeal Tribunal. (Refer Rule 8.12 and 8.13 for vital conditions if an Appeal involves
engines/fuel/accessory or part).
8.01 There are ve kinds of appeals:
(a) an appeal from a decision of the Stewards
(b) an appeal from a decision of a Disciplinary Tribunal
(c) an appeal from a decision of an Appeal Tribunal to the Australian Karting Appeal Court (AKAC)
or to the Australian Motor Sport Appeal Court (AMSAC)
(d) an appeal from a decision of the AKAC to the AMSAC
(e) an appeal to the AMSAC on the grounds that a decision of the NKC or the Secretariat was not
within the power of that body or was otherwise unconstitutional.
8.02 A party to proceedings conducted as a Stewards Hearing, a Disciplinary Tribunal or an Appeal
Tribunal may appeal the decision of that Stewards Hearing, that Disciplinary Tribunal or that
Appeal Tribunal on the grounds of severity of penalty, error of law, error of fact. For the avoidance
of doubt, a party is a person or entity who has appeared in the proceeding as a Defendant, a
Complainant, a Prosecutor, or a person or entity otherwise joined in the proceeding.
8.03 A State Karting Council or the AKA Secretariat, may appeal to an Appeal Tribunal, the AKAC or the
AMSAC if it is satised that the appeal should be brought in the best interests of karting.
8.04 All appeals to the AMSAC are subject to leave being granted by the AMSAC.
8.05 All Appeals shall be lodged with the appropriate Tribunal Registrar. (Refer Rule 1.07 (ss)). All
Appeals shall be in writing, which shall be in the form of the AKA Appeal Form. All Appeals shall
be accompanied by the appropriate fee otherwise the Appeal form shall not be accepted for
lodgment.
8.06 A Notice of Intention to Appeal FROM A DECISION OF THE STEWARDS shall be made in writing
and hand delivered to one of the Stewards at the Meeting and shall be accompanied by the
appropriate fee. A Notice of Intention to Appeal shall, unless a contrary intention appears in this
Chapter 8, be subject to the same rules and bear the same consequences as an Appeal.

(a) be handed to the Clerk of the Course or the Clerks Deputy; and
(b) be sealed for transmission to the Tribunal, the AKAC or the AMSAC; and
(c) remain sealed until the engine, the part or the accessory is inspected in the presence of
the Appellant or the Appellants representative and a person or persons approved by the
appropriate Tribunal Registrar.
8.13 If the engine, the part or the accessory is:
(a) removed from the inspection area at any time by anyone except an Ofcial of the meeting; or
(b) not personally handed to the Clerk of the Course or the Clerks Deputy; or
(c) altered at any time it is in the inspection area by either the Appellant or a member of the
Appellants crew or by any other person, then the evidence used to found the offence shall be
accepted as correct on the hearing of the Appeal.
8.14 (a) When a person is found to have used a fuel, lubricant or other substance not permitted
by the regulations, and that person then wishes to appeal against the nding, then an

of that person or for any other person:
(a) to alter any part of the test material in any way ;
(b) to remove any part of the material to be tested from the inspection area without the
permission of the tester ;
(c) to remove, alter or damage any sealed sample at any time.
8.16 If a person commits an offence under Regulation 8.15, then the evidence of the fuel tester as to
the legality of the fuel, lubricant or other substance shall be accepted by the body hearing the
Appeal, and no evidence of whatsoever nature shall be accepted by or on behalf of the Appellant
concerning the legality of the fuel, lubricant or other substance.
8.17 When a Notice of Intention to Appeal or a Notice of Appeal is lodged, a penalty of exclusion or
suspension shall only take effect prior to the hearing of the Appeal in circumstances outlined in
rules 8.18 and rule 8.19:
Any driver whos appeal against a licence suspension is subsequently dismissed, may have their
original licence suspension increased
8.18 When:
(a) the decision cannot be the subject of a complaint and therefore cannot be appealed against
or
(b) the decision appealed against was made under Rule 4.09(h), (i) or (j)
(c) the decision appealed against relates to an offence referred to in Rule 12.02 in which case a
penalty of exclusion or suspension takes effect immediately.
8.19 When an Appellant is advised in writing that the Appeal will be heard within one month from the
date of the decision appealed against, the penalty of exclusion or suspension shall take effect on
the later of:

forwarded to the Appellant and any other parties to the Appeal not later than:
(i) 10 days before the date on which the Appeal is to be heard.
(ii) 17 days before the date on which the Appeal is to be heard in matters where the
Appellant is normally domicile in a State other than the State in which the Appeal is to be
heard.
(b) A Notice of Hearing of Appeal may be delivered personally. A Statutory Declaration is required
by the person who delivers the notice. A posted or faxed Notice of Hearing shall be deemed as
proof, or a proof of delivery slip for a registered letter.
(c) The date for hearing of the Appeal shall be notied to all parties concerned within 30 days of
receipt by the appropriate Tribunal Registrar of the Notice of the Appeal or within 30 days of
any directions hearing whichever is the latter.
(d) Failure by the appropriate Tribunal Registrar to notify all parties to the Appeal within the
required time limit shall result in the Appeal being decided in favour of the Appellant and the
appeal fee shall be returned to the Appellant.
(e) Any date set for hearing of the Appeal shall be within 30 days of the date of receipt by the
Appropriate Tribunal Registrar of the Notice of Appeal or within 30 days of the date of any
directions hearing, whichever is the later, except that the date of the hearing of the Appeal
may be altered by consent of the parties to the Appeal.
8.22 If the appropriate Tribunal Registrar forms the view that a matter under Appeal involves complex
scientic or technical evidence, then that Registrar may request the Chairperson of the Tribunal to
conduct a telephone directions hearing. The Tribunal Chairperson has the power at a directions
hearing to direct the parties to exchange technical or scientic information by a date that shall
not be less than one week prior to the hearing, and may give directions concerning tests or other
matters, including directions for adjournments with a view to simplifying the matters in dispute.
Any material that is directed to be provided to any party to an Appeal and is subsequently not
provided as so directed shall not be admitted into evidence at the hearing unless all parties to the
Appeal agree to its admission.
8.23 If an Appellant wishes to raise legal argument concerning :
(a) the right of the Tribunal, the AKAC or the AMSAC to hear the Appeal or
(b) the validity of the regulations on which the decision appealed from is based, then a written
statement of the legal argument to be raised must be received by the appropriate Tribunal
Registrar at least 7 days prior to the date set for the hearing. Failure to comply with this rule
will result in such argument being disallowed.
8.24 A body hearing an Appeal may impose or vary any penalty provided such imposition or variation is
within the range of penalties it is empowered to impose pursuant to the provisions of this manual.
8.25 A body hearing an Appeal may not order a race to be re-run.
8.26 A body hearing an Appeal may alter any decision made by an Ofcial or Ofcials or by a State

decides that the decision:
(a) was not within the power of the National Karting Council to make or
(b) was not permitted by the registered Rules of the AKA or
(c) was not permitted by these regulations.
8.28 An Appeal fee shall be returned to the person appealing if:

(b) the body hearing the appeal considers that there are exceptional circumstances which warrant
the return of the fee.
8.29 The AKA shall have the right to publish or cause to be published an Appeal judgment and to
publish the names of all the parties to the Appeal. Any person or body whose name is published
pursuant to this rule shall have no cause of action against the AKA or against any person
publishing such judgment.
8.30 If an Appeal is on the grounds that the procedure adopted at a Stewards hearing or at a Tribunal
was not in accordance with these regulations, then the body hearing the Appeal must determine
whether the failure to follow the regulations was so serious that the decision appealed against
should not stand. If the body makes a determination that the decision cannot stand, then that
body shall re-hear the matter or refer it for re-hearing. Failure to follow procedures will not result
in dismissal of a complaint by an appeal body.
8.31 If an Appeal Tribunal or the AKAC forms the view that an Ofcial has acted improperly, it may:
(a) call upon that Ofcial to state, after an adjournment if necessary, why he or she should not be
prohibited from acting as an Ofcial for a period of time and
(b) after considering all relevant material presented to it, prohibit the Ofcial from acting as an
Ofcial or a particular Ofcial for a stated period.
8.32 Appeals directed to the AMSAC are subject to the AMSACs own time limits and rules and not
those referred to in regulation 8.21 (d) (e) and (f).
AKA APPEALS COURT
8.33 Preamble
The Australian Karting Appeal Court (AKAC) is kartings own Court of Appeal which shall be
chaired by a legally qualied person. The aim of AKAC is to provide a Court of Appeal whereby
appeals are available by way of right and not by way of leave as is the case with the AMSAC. The
intention is to be able to conduct appeal hearings where Appeals involve less expense on the part
of all parties and where Appeals can be heard more quickly than through the AMSAC. The right
to seek leave to appeal to the AMSAC shall remain. It is the intention of the AKAC to keep its

such application is received more than 72 hours out of time. The proposed Notice of Appeal
shall be lodged with the application together with a late application fee, which fees are as
follows:
(i) where the Appeal for which leave is sought is to be by written submissions only, $100;

hearing. Such application shall be in writing and shall at a minimum state the name of the
advocate and the reason that leave is sought to be represented by an advocate.
8.41 Penalties
a) The AKAC when hearing an Appeal may impose or vary any penalty provided such imposition

no right to action against the AKA or against any person printing or publishing the said notice.
8.43 Further Appeal
a) The Appellant has the right to appeal against the decision of the AKAC to AMSAC. This is
subject to AMSAC time limits and rules. As laid down in the 2009 CAMS Manual of Motor
Sport. Section 5: Judicial, Appendix G.
9.01 The Machinery of Justice:
In the course of normal competition, whether it be as affecting an organiser, an ofcial or a
participant, occasions arise from time to time which require adjudication of disputes, or the just
settlement of conicting interests. Moreover, the discipline necessary in all organised activity, and
vital in motor sport are maintained by a system of law which involves the enacting of Rules and
Regulations, the appointment of ofcials to administer them and the provision of machinery to
impose penalties for breaches of them.
Provision has been made by the AKA for the discharge of all these functions. In accordance with
the Code, general laws applicable in Australia have been enacted and published, and form the
Rules embodied in this Manual. Further restrictions, in more particular detail, are published from
time to time in Supplementary Regulations and Agenda of individual events.
To police these rules and regulations, the AKA appoints from time to time individual ofcials such
as Stewards and Clerks of the Course and requires organisers to appoint others, such as Scrutineers,
Secretaries, Timekeepers and so on each with their duties and responsibilities. The Stewards of
the Meeting have by right (and others may have by special delegation) certain powers to impose
penalties and it follows that there should exist avenues of appeal which may be followed by any
persons penalised by them. Similarly, persons against whom any action has been taken, though not of
punitive nature, should have the opportunity to lodge a complaint, except in certain special cases.
Lastly, those who commit offences against the Rules in circumstances unrelated to a meeting, or
of a kind which appears to merit penalties beyond the power of Stewards to inict, are liable to be
charged with those offences. In such cases, they are entitled as of right to be confronted by their
accusers, to hear the evidence against them, to test that evidence and call their own, and to be
assured of impartial justice.
All these requirements and the need to provide avenues of appeal referred to above, have resulted
in the authorisation by the AKA, or afliated State Karting Councils, to appoint what are known as
Tribunals.
9.02 The Duality of Tribunals:
Tribunals are of two kinds, viz.
(a) DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNALS: which are essentially minor courts, are set up to try cases brought
before them by the AKA, by way of charges against persons or groups subject to AKA
Disciplinary Tribunals and have two primary duties:
(i) to determine whether or not a charge heard is proved, and
(ii) if so, to impose the appropriate penalty.
(iii) To these may be added the right to make any recommendation to the AKA, that may seem
tting and relevant.
(iv) A Disciplinary Tribunal may also have the responsibility of determining a penalty, if the
Stewards after conviction, determine that a penalty is warranted which they are not
authorised to impose. In that case, the written statement of the Stewards that the charge
has been found proved shall be conclusive evidence of that fact and so much of this
chapter as applies to the proving of the case shall not apply to that hearing.
CHAPTER 9
TRIBUNAL PROCEDURE
(b) APPELLATE TRIBUNALS:
which are appointed to hear pleas arising from decisions by:
(i) Ofcials of a Meeting, or
(ii) Disciplinary Tribunals. Appellate Tribunals are obliged to conne their decisions to matters
actually appealed, though they are free also to make recommendations to the AKA, arising
out of their deliberations.
9.03 Stewards Hearing:
Stewards conducting a hearing at a race meeting are not a Tribunal under this Chapter.
9.04 Constitution of Tribunals:
Certain basic qualications are required of any person acting in a judicial capacity. He/She must
not for instance, be involved personally or have any interest in the matter at issue, he/she must
have had no connection, other than as a spectator, with any meeting where the matters arose; he/
she must have had no prior contact with, or made any decision affecting the matter at issue; he/
she must be impartial and must take into account only the evidence brought before him/her and
he/she must act only in accordance with the body of law under which he/she is appointed.
In Karting it is not always easy to nd such persons. It is not desirable (in general terms) for those
who enact laws also to interpret them, and hence the voting national councillors of the NKC are
virtually stopped as judicial ofcials. It is not desirable for administrative ofcials to act in a judicial
capacity, especially in disciplinary tribunals, as frequently they are involved in prosecuting charges
and it is undesirable to appoint active organisers and competitors to such positions primarily
because of their potential or actual interests in events or persons.
9.05 Conduct of Tribunals:
Location and Arrangement: A suitable room, with adequate space for the tribunals, the parties
and witnesses, and preferably in a neutral venue should be selected. The bench should be at one
end, anked at right angles by tables for each party with a chair at least for witnesses in front
of the bench. Provisions may be made for the press, if the Tribunal permits press reporting, and
arrangements must be made to record the hearing in full, preferably on tape. A party or a witness
may, subject to approval of the Tribunal, take part in the proceedings by telephone conference.
1. Procedure at Disciplinary Tribunals:
(a) The Chairman should announce the opening of the Tribunal, stating its authority, its
composition, and the purpose of its sitting. Leave may be granted for advocates to
represent the parties, and if so appearances are then taken. Representation by the Legal
Profession or Police Force is not permitted.
(b) The accused is to be asked whether he/she objects to any member sitting if so, on what
grounds. If no objection is received, the case proceeds. If an objection is received, it must
be examined and may involve one or more member being declared ineligible to sit. (If more
than one member steps down as ineligible the hearing must be adjourned, two being the
minimum number acceptable on the bench). If the objections are not considered valid,
they may be overruled by the Tribunal, and the case will then proceed. (In such case the
objection must be noted and in due course included in the transcript of the proceedings).

(c) The complaint or complaints shall then be read to the accused, either by a clerk of the
tribunal (if there is one) or by the Chairman and the accused will plead to each complaint.
If a plea of guilty is received, the proceedings in such case may be shortened but the
onus still lies on the prosecution to produce evidence in support of such complaint. If a
plea of not guilty is received, the case proceeds as follows:
(d) The prosecution proceeds rst, and is normally required to adduce evidence of the
existence of a rule or regulation allegedly breached, and evidence of the breach.
(e) If a Tribunal believes that a regulation is relevant which is different from that stated by
the Complainant, all parties must be advised. The complaint must then be dealt with on
that basis, after adjournment, if that is necessary. It is the intention of these regulations
that a person should not escape responsibility for a breach of these regulations because a
complaint is wrongly framed.
(f) The defence may then lead evidence in rebuttal of the prosecutions case.
(g) The defence will then address the Tribunal, summarising the case for the accused.
(h) The prosecution will then address the Tribunal, summarising the case for the prosecution.
(i) The Tribunal will then determine the guilt or otherwise of the accused, adjourning the
Tribunal if necessary to do so. No other persons shall be present or partake in any
discussion with the Tribunal at this stage, unless the Tribunal has both parties before it
together.
(j) The Tribunal may hear arguments if any on the question of costs and may make or not
make an award of costs as is proper and tting in all of the circumstances provided
always that no costs shall be awarded against the AKA Incorporated, a Member Karting
Association or any member club of a Member Karting Association unless any of these
bodies are an unsuccessful appellant.
(k) If the Tribunal nds the complaints or any of them proved, it shall announce a nding of
guilty and then hear argument on the question of penalty.
(l) The Tribunal shall determine and announce whether a penalty is imposed, and if so, its
nature (and if relevant, the duration of a term of suspension).
(m) The Tribunal, in giving judgement for or against the accused, shall do so by writing down
its judgement and reading it aloud to the parties appearing. Such judgement shall include
the Tribunals reasons for its ndings, and shall include a statutory reminder to the parties
of their rights of appeal. Such judgement may, moreover, include any recommendation
which the Tribunal deems tting.
(n) The Chairman will then declare the proceedings closed.
2. Procedure at Appeal Tribunals:
(a) The Chairman will announce the Tribunals authority, its composition and its purpose. Leave
may be granted for advocates to represent the parties, and if so, appearances will then be
taken, representation by the Legal Profession or Police Force is not permitted.
(b) To shorten the proceedings, the parties may at this stage stipulate certain facts of the
admissibility of certain documents (eg. if a transcript summary, or both, has been made
available to the Tribunal and to both parties, of either proceedings giving rise to the appeal,
such may be stipulated as accurate on appeal).
(c) The appellant goes rst, addressing the Tribunal and/or calling evidence.
(d) The respondent follows similarly also addressing the Tribunal and/or calling evidence.
(e) The respondent then makes his/her nal address, if he/she desires to do so.
(f) The appellant then makes his/her nal address, if he/she desires to do so.

(g) The Tribunal then determines whether, and if so, to what extent, the appeal shall succeed,
adjourning the hearing if necessary in order to do so.
(h) No other persons shall be present or partake in any discussion with the Tribunal at this
stage, unless the Tribunal has both parties before it together.
(i) The Tribunal shall then deliver its judgement by writing it down and reading it aloud to the
parties concerned. Such judgement shall include the reasons for the ndings, a statutory
reminder to the parties of their rights of appeal, if any, and also a direction as to the
disposition of the Appeal Fee, either by way of its return to the Appellant (if the appeal has
succeeded) or its estreatment by the AKA (if the appeal has failed).
(j) The Tribunal may hear arguments if any on the question of costs and may make or not
make an award of costs as is proper and tting in all of the circumstances provided
always that no costs shall be awarded against the AKA Incorporated, a Member Karting
Association or any member club of a Member Karting Association unless any of these
bodies are an unsuccessful appellant.
(k) The Chairman will then declare the proceedings closed.
9.06 Witnesses and Examination:
Procedure: Witnesses are presumed to be speaking the truth. They may be examined by the
party calling them, and shall give evidence directly and/or by answers to questions. They may
not be led on examination by the advocate calling them, that is to say, they may not be asked
questions generally which put words into their mouths, though this is relaxed somewhat for formal
identication, etc.
On cross-examination this does not apply.
Questioning may take the form of leading or suggestions, and opposing counsel is entitled to
test the credibility of the other sides witnesses. Re-examination, ie. questioning by the witnesses
own side, is usually conned to clarication of matters raised in cross-examination.
9.07 The Nature of Evidence:
Direct evidence is usually the oral evidence of a witness (though it may include documentary
evidence as below), and is given by some person who himself saw or heard or otherwise perceived
the fact or facts to which he/she testies.
Hearsay evidence (ie. evidence that the witness was told something) is not valid evidence of the
thing itself, and is usually inadmissible as such. A witness may have been told this; it is no evidence
that the kart did go over the fence.
Opinion is not in itself generally admissible. An exception is when a person is accepted by the
Tribunal as an expert in respect of the particular matter at issue. For example, any engineer or a
doctor or even a noted driver may qualify or be stipulated as an expert in his/her particular eld,
and hence give expert opinion as evidence. He/She will, however, be subject to cross-examination
in such areas of evidence and his/her evidence will be evaluated, not by other experts in his/her
eld necessarily but by the Tribunal.
Opinions expressed by witnesses other than experts are valueless as evidence of the matter at
issue, though they may be illuminating as to the credibility of the witness. They are inadmissible.
Documents may be tabled in evidence; in such case, they must be proved as to their source,
validity, relevance, etc. and to do so it may be necessary to call direct evidence (eg. an ofcial
letter from a company, a parts manual, etc.) Things may be submitted as evidence, to speak for
themselves, as for instance a cylinder head in question. Other evidence is usually required to prove
the authenticity or relevance of such real evidence.
Circumstantial evidence, the fact of the existence of a number of situations or occurrences or
circumstances may be put in. It may be cogent (a man seen running from the otherwise deserted
scene of an offence at the time it was committed) or it may be valueless but it is admissible.
It is not permitted to introduce, prior to conviction, any evidence relating to other convictions.
However, should a person be found guilty of a charge, the fact of his/her earlier breaches of the
Rules may relevantly be pressed in pleas as to penalty. They must be established, mere suspicion
only of these is inadmissible unless, of course, admissions have been made by the accused person.
Similarly it is forbidden to introduce material in addresses that could have been and should have
been produced in evidence. Failure to give evidence is not in itself an admission of guilt, but it
may give rise to certain conclusions by reasonable men; the innocent usually in human experience
assert their innocence, and failure to do so while subject to examination is rightly capable of being
interpreted as an admission of guilt.
Judicial Notice. Certain facts need not be proved by evidence in respect of AKA Tribunals. The
general authority of the Tribunal to sit is assumed, if stated (subject to objections as to its
individual members) the booklet entitled Australian Karting Association Manual is taken to
be an ofcial AKA publication, and the Rules and Regulations included therein together with
any amendments notied by the National Secretary to all State Secretaries to be the National
Competition Rules and Regulations applying to the hearing. Persons acting as ofcials of a meeting
are assumed to have been properly appointed, though if called as witnesses they usually assert
the same to be so, the AKA are by statute entitled to intervene in any Tribunals, whether or not an
opposing party; the meaning of the English language is presumed to be as understood by ordinary
men, and so on. There would be no end to litigation if everything had to be proved.
Tribunals also take judicial notice of decisions handed down by the AMSAC.
9.08 Degree of Proof:
In civil cases (such as AKA affairs usually are), the degree of proof is usually required only to be
by the preponderance of evidence -they are settled on the balance of probability, ie. what seems
most likely from the evidence. Although some social or sporting stigma may accrue to persons
found guilty of a charge under the Rules of a sporting body, it is not usually sufcient to justify the
necessity of proof beyond reasonable doubt, though such a case could arise.
9.09 General Conduct:
Though AKA Tribunals do not have either the status or the authority of Courts of Law, though
witnesses can neither be compelled to attend or give evidence, and though many of the parties
and the Tribunal members are known to each other more or less well, there can be no justication
for informality prevailing at hearings of Tribunals (other than in isolated instances of natural humour).
Formality, the maintenance of form, is a means of ensuing that (a), all the things that ought to be
done are in fact done in an orderly manner and (b) that nothing that should not be done is done.
An added effect is that of natural gravity, the ceremony associated with formality always lending to
proceedings the appropriate air of seriousness.
Informal proceedings may achieve a just end, but they seldom appear to do so. The Tribunal
in such looses stature and authority and the law itself becomes, or may become, an object of
contempt. The use of rst names, the relaxing of basic rules of evidence, lapses from decorum, the
permissibility granted to interjectors, the acceptance of casual or intemperate behaviours -these
add nothing to the tribunals stature and take much away from its purposes. The conduct of any
Tribunal is a question for the Chairman himself, and it is to the advantage of all if he/she insists
upon the above guidelines being followed.
9.10 (a) A State Tribunal Registrar, upon receipt of the material referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and
(b) of Regulation 7.18 relating to a complaint against an ofcial, shall formulate a notice of
complaint directed to the respondent ofcial setting forth full particulars of the nature of the
complaint. The State Tribunal Registrar shall also forward a notice specifying the date, time and
place for the hearing of the complaint by a Disciplinary Tribunal and shall forward the notice
of complaint together with copies of the witness statements (if any) to the respondent ofcial
prior to the date nominated for the hearing of the Disciplinary Tribunal.
(b) If the Disciplinary Tribunal after considering all the evidence presented both by and against the
ofcial is of the opinion the ofcial has breached any regulation or rule shall make a nding in
that regard and in that case shall be entitled to impose a penalty of suspension on that ofcial
from the performance of any duties of an ofcial for such period as the Disciplinary Tribunal
considers warranted and irrespective of the provisions of regulation 6.03 to the intent that the
only penalty that may be imposed on an ofcial is the penalty of reprimand or suspension.

(b) Solid objects should be removed from the track area where possible. If this is not possible,
then suitable run off distance and protection is required. Any structure or solid object of any
type must have safety barriers and catch traps to protect competitors.

restricted classes. This tender process operates on a 3 years evolution for both slick and rain tyres.
A testing protocol for the contracted tyre tender is available from the National Ofce. A further
protocol for testing tyres for consideration outside of contracted tender periods also exists. Such
applications can be made through the National ofce and with the assistance of the National
Technical Coordinator Fees are applicable for all such testing applications, and are set at $300
per application. All tyre contracts are subject to AKA royalties classes not controlled by a tender
contract will also be subject to tyre royalties Tyres for consideration for use outside the tyre tender
process are subject to the policy applications and fees these details are available from the
National ofce.
21.05 CHASSIS: HOMOLOGATION OF CHASSIS
1. Homologation of Chassis with AKA Application forms and full details are available from the
AKA National Ofce

National Ofce. Application forms and full details are available from the AKA National Ofce.
21.06 The following denitions are used in this chapter:
1. Homologation.
An engine or component that has been approved in accordance with this chapter 21, can
be used on AKA tracks under the conditions as nally approved by the AKA within the
homologation approval documentation. The previously used term of Registration is no longer
used and Homologation is the only approved term.
2. Homologation period.
Any item that is homologated has a homologated period of 9 years. The commencement
period of a homologation will be indicated in the homologation approval by the AKA. After
that time the component must be re-homologated for a further period. Failure to pay the fee
within the due period could result in the component or engine withdrawn from use and a
further fee will be applicable for its reinstatement.
3. Applicant.
!||s r|| be au |ud|.|dua|, a Vauuacu|e| o| Recou|.ed 0|s||buo|, as app|op||ae.
4. Engine.
All engines that use AKA tracks must be homologated. A homologated engine is a complete
stand-alone power unit that includes carburetor and ignition system and in some cases also
includes cooling system, starting system, clutch system, induction system and exhaust system.
The only engines that will be considered from 1st January, 2009 for future homologation
must have a CNC machined cylinder liner of un-plated magnetic material with a tolerance of
+/-0.05 from the top deck of the liner to the top of the exhaust and transfer ports. No other
type of cylinder will be eligible for homologation. The exception to this might be engines
submitted in the Open Class, ICC, etc.
5. Experimental Class or Class Engine.
For certain reasons, the AKA may create an Experimental Class to determine the acceptance
of such a class in the future, or as part of a future class structure, and also to allow an engine
manufacturer to ne tune the engine to suit the needs of that class for the requirements of
the AKA.

6. CIK Homologated Engine. CIK Homologated engines are those that have a current FIA/
CIK Homologation number and have current CIK homologation technical documentation,
Such homologated engines are eligible for use in AKA CIK classes, Formula 100, and Open
Performance AKA classes. These engines do not require AKA Homologation but will require
to be sanctioned and registered with the AKA via an application for use in the domestic
categories of F100 and Open Performance.
7. AKA Contract. The AKA may, in the interests of a particular class, accept a contract with
an Applicant that conrms that the only engine used in that particular class is that which is
the subject of the contract. This is in addition to other costs with respect to homologation,
but does not include any other annual fees. Note also that the AKA has the right to make any
other changes in the relevant class chapter, other than allowing another type of engine to be
used in that class.
8. Component. Whilst most components requiring homologation approval are engine
related, there are other performance and power transmission related components that require
homologation. A component might be a single part, or an assembly of parts. Note that such an
assembly can be referred to as a part, but an engine is not referred to as a part. Components
can be broadly classied into two distinct types:
9. Evolution Components. For reasons of quality improvement, design improvement, safety,
production costs and manufacturing considerations, a component that is so changed is
regarded as an Evolution Component, and must be able to be interchangeably used with the
previously used component. The manufacturer or AKA recognized distributor can only make
the application for an Evolution Component.
10. Aftermarket Component. This is a component that can replace an Original Equipment
Vauuacu|e (CEV) corpoueu |u au, /K/ |oro|oaed eu|ue o| corpoueu, bu |s
NOT classed as a Non -Tech component (as described in R25.21, or as specically outlined

where an AKA Contract is in place.

22.01 Fuel Testing:
1. The digatron DT15 or DT47 series fuel testing kit will be the ofcial preliminary fuel testing
method to be used by the AKA and the State Karting Councils.
Prior to any test conducted, competitors must acknowledge if they are using PULP and Testers
must ensure the digitron is not contaminated from any test on ELF fuels. This applied vice versa.
2a. Method (for competitors using PULP)
a) Rinse digitron in Fresh Premium Unleaded Fuel before use.
b) Set Digatron Meter to .000 in a sample of fresh Premium Unleaded Petrol.
c) Conduct test on competitors fuel either in the fuel tank or on a sample removed from the
fuel tank.
d) Should the rst test fail, a second test to be conducted on a sample removed from the
competitors fuel tank. The temperature of the zero sample and the competitors sample
to be adjusted so that the temperature difference between the two does not exceed
3 degree Celsius.
e) If the results from the second test from the Digatron DT14 AND OR DT47 Series Meter
be less than zero or greater than +40 units then it will require a sample to be taken for
laboratory analysis.
2b. Method (for competitors using ELF07)
a) Set Digatron Meter to .000 in a sample of fresh ELF07 fuel.
b) Conduct test on competitors fuel either in the fuel tank or on a sample removed from the
fuel tank.
c) Should the rst test fail, a second test to be conducted on a sample removed from the
competitors fuel tank. The temperature of the zero sample and the competitors sample to
be adjusted so that the temperature difference between the two does not exceed 3 degree
Celsius.
d) If the results from the second test from the Digatron DT15 AND OR DT47 Series Meter
be less than zero or greater than +40 units then it will require a sample to be taken for
laboratory analysis.
3. The AKA/SKC retains the option to use any other fuel testing method.
4. In the event of an Appeal against the above Fuel Testing procedure, fuel samples may be
tested by an independent laboratory, with the total cost to the Appellant.
22.02 Random Samples
Randomly selected competitor(s) may have a sample of their fuel or lubricant taken and sealed for
later laboratory analysis. If the fuel is found not to comply a complaint shall be made to the State
Tribunal Registrar by the Fuel Tester under Rule 7.06 and the competitor(s) shall be subsequently
charged with an offence under Rule 5.01(q). The cost of such testing shall be borne by the
promoting club or otherwise agreed.
CHAPTER 22
FUEL / FUEL TESTING
22.03 Fuel: For All Classes
1. Safety:

23.11 Tyre Pooling
Tyre Pooling for restricted / designated dry weather tyres will be compulsory at the Australian
National Championships. Tyre pooling at this event must comply with the following regulations.
Tyre pooling optional for State Championships.
1. The entry fee for all restricted tyre classes will incorporate at the cost (as per tyre contracted
price) of one (1) set of tyres per class per driver only.
2. The promoting club at the designated circuit will provide one (1) set of tyres per driver per
class at least one day prior to time trials.
3. Tyres supplied by the promoting club will be as per the manual and will be of the same batch
number within each class. (eg. All clubman light entrants must be issued with the same batch
number etc.)
4. All tyres supplied by the promoting club will be scanned with the AKA Barcode Scanning
System or marked with the race number and class they are to be used in prior to the start of
competition for the race meeting.
It is the drivers responsibility to ensure that at least one barcode per tyre remains scannable at
any time for the duration of the race meeting. Any damaged or unreadable tyre barcodes must
be reported to the scrutineers prior to leaving the in-grid / impound area. These tyres will be
stamped internally then externally marked with class and racing number and dually recorded
before leaving the in-grid / impound area.
5. The promoting club may issue only one set of tyres per driver per class.
6. Damaged or worn out tyres (by way of force majeure) must be reported to and be inspected by
the Chief Scrutineer prior to the kart leaving the grid/impound area, replacement(s) will be at
the competitors cost.
Drivers receiving a new replacement(s) will be required to start at the rear of the grid in
their next competition, the only exceptions to this is a tyre with a manufacturing defect (as
approved by the tyre representative and/or the Chief Scrutineer).
7. In case of any force majeure, the promoting club will order in addition to the one set per
driver per class, 5% (ve percent) extra quantity of each type of tyre.
8. The promoting club will obtain (and comply with) via their state body a copy of the conditions
governing the transaction between the promoting club and the tyre supplier.
9. An unused tyre having a circumference variation of more than 10mm may be exchanged.
The circumference is to be measured at the centreline of the tread area and tyres are to be
mounted and inated to a similar pressure. In consultation with the tyre supplier.
AKA Tyre Testing and Sampling Procedure
When checking tyres for tyre treatment using the Photo Ionisation Detector (PID) at the race
meeting if the PID shows a reading on a tyre allow the equipment to zero and check another site
on that tyre by leaving the snorkel just touching the tread surface for 2 seconds.
If you get a reading on the second site of the same tyre check all the other tyres on the Kart using
the same procedure. If all the other tyres do not show a reading, allow to race but check again
through the meeting.
When 2 tyres or all 4 show a similar reading for each tyre on the PID allow the kart to race the
heat and impound on completion of the heat even if the kart has a DNF.
When you get a reading on 2 or more tyres a rubber sample has to be sent away to the Gas
Chromatograph for the nal verication of a substance or compound being introduced into the
rubber of the tyre. The rubber sample sent would then be compared against the standard tyre
sample with a graph overlay that will clearly indicate the presence of an introduced substance or
compound in the tyre sample.
This Gas Chromatograph testing procedure is the same as the fuel test so it is conclusive. If the
sample rubber does not compare with the standard sample this then is the nal verication that
the tyres have had a substance or compound introduced to change the properties of the rubber
in the tyre.
The rubber samples (2) should be taken from the same site on one tyre that showed the reading
on the PID eg if the two front tyres show a reading either one will do, if it is only the back two
tyre that show the reading take the samples from the one away from the motor, if it is one front
and one rear on one side take the samples from the one that is away from the motor. When all
four tyres have a similar reading take the samples from the rear tyre on the brake side.
Using a new or clean NT cutter, equivalent or scalpel that has been cleaned with a clean lint free
cloth or tissue cut a sliver of rubber about 10 mm long 5 mm wide and 0.5 deep from the tread
surface taking care not to cut deep into the tyre.
After cutting the sliver from the tread surface of the tyre cut the rubber sample into to equal parts.
Being very careful not to cut into the tyre then using tweezers or knife tip put the samples into the
clean glass vial with each sample having their own new glass vial and screw on the lid. Then seal
in the plastic bottle using the same bottles that are supplied for fuel samples. These are available
for purchase from National Ofce via State.
Once the sample bottles have been sealed using the sample method and paper work, as is used
in fuel samples, ask the competitor to choose one sample and inform him that the other sample
will be sent to the Gas Chromatograph for nal verication of the presence of a substance or
compound in the tyre rubber.
When the report is received at State Ofce from the Gas Chromatograph testing and it is positive
this is then sent to the State Tribunal Register to handle.
24.1 1. The AKA is of the opinion that control of noise is emerging as a major issue for motor sport
and that increased Government controls may be imposed on those motor sport organisations
and individuals that exceed the stated levels. The potential for noise injuries to our Ofcials,
Competitors and their crews must also be addressed and minimised. Karting as a stand alone
Sport can not allow an individual or club to selshly satisfy themselves to the detriment of the
Sport now or in the future. Competitors and those involved with Kart preparation are required
to closely check all ttings and fastenings associated with the control of noise on their Kart
and to maintain a vigilant and preventative stance to noise control.
2. From 1st January 2003, the permitted noise emission level from a kart must not exceed
100 dBA when measured at a point 4 metres away with AKA vertical methods.
24.2 Permitted Noise Level:
At all events, tracks and venues licensed or approved by the AKA the permitted noise levels are
1. At normal tracks the permitted noise levels, must not exceed 100DBA when measured at a
point 4 metres above the centre of the track (refer penalties rule 24.7).
2. Clubs may apply to the National Karting Council for an exemption to the AKA noise
regulations. Supplementary Regulations may stipulate a lesser Noise Level for the complete
meeting or for any part or component as designated.
24.3 Noise Measuring:
1. At all race meetings an ofcial must be nominated Judge of Fact (Noise Level) and his/her
name included in the regulations for the meeting.
2. The Stewards must ensure that the Organisers have the necessary noise measuring devices
in place and that they are in operation throughout the entirety of the race meeting.
3. In order to assist competitors after each practice and qualifying session, drivers of karts which
record sound levels of 98 dBA to 100 dBA (using AKA vertical method) should be advised by
the ofcials.
4. Results of any Noise Measuring testing at a meeting, duly signed by the responsible Ofcial,
are to be given only to the Clerk of Course or Stewards who will then take any necessary
action before clearing them for general distribution.
24.4 Noise Testing Equipment:
1. The Sound Level Meter tested and approved for the stipulated noise level tests is - Make
PCWI, Model 8921 and is available complete with microphone and cables through the AKA.
Any alternate or secondary unit must conform to the minimum requirements of Australian
Standards AS1259 part 1982 for Type 2 Meters.
2. Sound Level Measurements are to be made in accordance with the procedures in Australian
Standard AS2659.1 - 1988 "Guide to the Use of Sound Measuring Equipment Part 1 Portable
Sound Level Meters" using 'F' time weighting characteristic, normal incidence microphone and
'A' weighting.
CHAPTER 24
NOISE CONTROL
3. The test positions are to be set by the State Track Inspector and should be sited;
(a) to measure karts when they are under maximum acceleration and are operating at
a minimum of 75% of their rev range
(b) to ensure that the maximum noise level emitted by a kart is measured
(c) to ensure minimum reection from buildings / structures.
4. The microphone is to be located a maximum of 10 metres from the outside edge of the track,
1.2 metres from the ground and facing towards the track. The microphone must be free from
solid objects that are able to ricochet sound.
5. It is recommended that all sound meters utilise remote microphones. This is to permit the
sound meter and the operator to be located away from the microphone at a safer distance
from the track where they can be behind a safety barrier without affecting the noise level at
the microphone.
24.5 Supplementary Testing:
The Stewards or Clerk of Course may direct a competitor to submit his/her Kart to a noise test at
any time during a competition or race meeting. This is to enable the Ofcials to test selected Karts
at the end of a competition, race, heat, time trial or qualifying session should it prove difcult to
assess their levels during that activity. If such a test is to be done, the Kart should be impounded
and tested before any work can be carried out to the Kart. Competitors must comply with any
reasonable request from the Ofcials.
24.6 Noise Offences:
A driver whose Kart which emits noise in excess of the designated noise level at any time shall
be penalised. They may also be removed from the circuit and not permitted to resume practice or
racing until the Ofcials are satised that work has been carried out to rectify the problem.
24.7 Penalties: The recommended penalties for noise offences are:
1. When measuring devices are used;
(a) Allowed level plus 1dBA; Penalty 1 point or 1 place penalty.
(b) Allowed level plus 2dBA; Penalty 2 points or 2 places penalty.
(c) Allowed level plus 3dBA; Penalty 4 Points or 4 places penalty.
(d) Allowed level plus 4dBA; Penalty 8 points or 8 places penalty.
(e) Allowed level plus 5dBA; Penalty 16 points or 16 places penalty.
(f) Allowed level plus 6dBA and over; Penalty of Exclusion from that race, heat,
practice session, qualifying session, time trial or similar
2. When measuring devices are not used; Reserved
3. Supplementary Regulations may provide for additional penalties.
24.8 Noise Safety:
1. Ofcials: Every Ofcial or helper who is located close to the track should be issued with
ear protection. This can be either earmuff style or disposable foam plugs style.
2. Competitors: it is recommended to wear ear plugs at all times when driving a kart.
3. Pit Area: (In / Out grids and Through grids). It is recommended that all personnel in the pit
area use ear protection.
4. Paddock Area: (Where the karts normally are between races). The starting of kart engines in
the Paddock area is prohibited.
5. Starting of kart engines in the out grid is only permissible under the instruction of the
grid/pit marshal.
6. The promoting club in conjunction with the State Track Safety Inspector will designate a
safe area for the starting of kart engines. It is recommended all persons wear ear protection
in this area.
7. Spectators - As spectators are in most instances able to enter the Paddock and get very
close to the Pit areas, the AKA recommends that Clubs should post signs at all Pit / Paddock
entrances advising that ear protection is recommended past that point and advising where
ear protection is available.
8. The AKA recommends that Clubs have supplies of disposable ear plugs available at
all meetings.
24.9 Noise Emission: To assist in reducing Noise Emissions;
1. For all classes using the Yamaha KT100S Series Engine, it is compulsory that a system is
employed to reduce the vibration of the engines cooling ns. Shrouds wrapping around air
cooled engine cylinder and cylinder head ns are not permissible.
2. For all other classes it is recommended that a system is employed to reduce the vibration of
the engines cooling ns.

26.01 Cylinder Head Volume Measurement:
The measuring uid will be a solution of 50% diesel and 50% auto transmission uid. To be
measured by use of 'B' Grade Burette maximum capacity 50cc (recommended 25cc), calibrated to
a minimum 1/10th of a cc. under gravity feed.
Method
1. Remove spark plug and insert AKA CC Test Plug.
2. Place piston at approximately TDC.
3. The CC Test Plug to be withdrawn two turns.
4. Insert the required volume of measuring uid; make sure the uid is visible in the CC test plug.
5 Tighten CC Test Plug down until it stops.
6. Slowly wind motor over and check for uid level in CC Test Plug. (as shown in diagram).
(Note: Motor to be measured should be allowed to cool to ambient temperature and no uid
shall be expelled through the top of CC Test Plug.)
7. Should the rst test fail, the competitor may request a second test.
This test to repeat Items 1 to 6 above (after Step 8).
8. To clean out measuring uid after failure of rst test and before commencement of second
test, unleaded petrol to be poured into cylinder, motor to be rinsed and blown out by
inserting air hose into spark plug recess and turning piston to open exhaust. Therefore,
expelling excess uid.
Cylinder Head is not to be removed prior to any CC test.
9. CC TEST GAUGES

26.02 General Tolerances
Unless otherwise specied, the following tolerances will apply to all dimensions and any
references to Maximum or Minimum mean the absolute dimension for that item.
Dimension <25mm 25 60mm >60mm
Machined Parts +/- 0.05mm +/- 0.15mm +/- 1.5mm
Non machined / raw or welded parts +/- 1.0mm +/- 1.5mm +/- 3.0mm
26.03 Measuring Engines Controlled by Exhaust Port Timing
Insert either the 5mm rod or where required the 0.2mm feeler gauge, which has been cut
down to a point, into the uppermost point of the exhaust port at the intersection of the port
opening and the piston. This will give the opening point of the exhaust port. Measure stroke from
this point to TDC using a dial indicator inserted through the spark plug hole. This measurement
will give the minimum piston travel that can be cross-referenced against the charts in the
relevant section.
26.04 Port timing Check with AKA Piston Travel Gauges
Note: The PTG gauge is available from your State Secretary
Piston port engines (KT100S, KT100J, ARC SPEC 100 & ARC A1) will have PTG rods in the
future with 5 grooves AND Reed valve engines (Rotax MAX, Parilla Leopard & PRD Fireball)
will have PTG rods in the future with 4 grooves to allow the checking of the exhaust
transfer split. Currently these rods have only 4 & 3 grooves respectively. It will be necessary
to use the 5 mm AKA transfer port checking tool for this measurement
Step 1. Set Gauge
Screw the body unit of the Piston Travel Gauge into the spark plug hole and insert the rod for the
type of engine being checked.
Note: The rods are engraved on the head with S for KT100S & Formula Australia engines, J for
KT100J engines, R for Rotax Max, JM for JMA, L for Leopard, F for Fireball engines & A for
ARC A1 (inc. M1 & R1) engines.
Turn the engine in its direction of rotation till the conrod reaches its highest point of the engine
stroke TDC, adjust the head of the gauge body to line up with the bottom mark of the rod.
Step 2. Check Stroke
Slowly turn the engine in its direction of rotation till the rod is at its lowest point BDC and the top
mark on the rod should line up with the head.
Step 3. Check Exhaust Duration
Place the 5 mm pin in the top of the exhaust port and slowly turn the engine in the direction
of rotation until the top of the piston touches the 5mm pin which is then rolled between the
top of the piston and exhaust port to nd the highest point of the exhaust port. Using very light
pressure to hold the pin in place, the second top (or third from the top if the rod has 5 grooves for
KT100S, KT100J, ARC Spec 100 & ARC A1 (inc. M1 & R1) engines and 4 grooves for Rotax MAX,
JMA, Parilla Leopard & PRD Fireball engines ) mark on the gauge rod should not be showing or
is in line with the head of the gauge body. If the line is above the head of the gauge body, the
engine does not conform.
Note: early model KT100S engines have one side of the Exhaust Port slightly higher that the other.
Step 4. Check Inlet Duration
Re-zero the gauge with the piston holding the 5mm rod in the exhaust port with gentle pressure
on the crankshaft. Once the gauge has been re zeroed, the crankshaft can be rotated until the dial
gauge reads the appropriate Exhaust open to inlet open dimension in the table below. If the
5 mm pin can be tted between the lower edge of the piston and the bottom of the inlet port at
any point then the engine is deemed illegal.
Step 5. Check exhaust/transfer port split when using a rod with 5 grooves (for S & J rods)
or 4 grooves (for R & L rods).
After Step 4 (with the gauge still zeroed for the exhaust opening position), the crankshaft can be
rotated until the dial gauge reads the appropriate Exhaust open to transfer open dimension in
the table below. If the $5 mm AKA transfer port checking tool can be tted between the top edge
of the piston and the top of the any transfer port at any point then the engine is deemed illegal.

26.05 Procedure for use of AKA14 & AKA39 gauge
The AKA14 test rod (which can also be used for the AKA 39) has cut outs for ease of compliance
checking. At all points of checking, the plane across the inlet pipe must fall within the cut outs on
the rod for the respective measurement.
Step 1
Insert rod into the inlet of the mufer, pass through the 19mm outlet tube until the rod contacts
end cap of bafe.
Nominal measurement 570mm for the AKA14 & 470 mm for the AKA 39

Step 2
Withdraw rod until lip locates on exhaust outlet tube (end of 19mm tube)
Nominal measurement 512mm
Dimension C
Step 3
Withdraw rod until lip locates on main deector plate
Nominal measurement 422
Dimension D
Step 4
If the engine fails the eld test the competitor can request it is to be seal and sent to the State
Technical Ofcer for second and nal verication of compliance using an analogue or digital
indicator as in R 26.04.1.
26.04.1 Piston Travel Compliance Check as conducted by a State Technical Ofcer.
Step 1. Set Gauge
Into the spark plug hole, screw the appropriate holder tted with a digital or analogue dial gauge
or digital caliper. The crankshaft of the engine is turned to bring the piston up to TDC and the
gauge zeroed.
Step 2. Check Stroke
After the gauge is zeroed the crankshaft is turned to take the piston down to BDC to check stroke
The maximum allowable stroke is shown in the table below.
Step 3. Check Exhaust Duration
The crankshaft is turned til the dial gauge reads the appropriate TDC to Exhaust opening
dimension in the table below. If the 5 mm pin can be tted between the top edge of the piston
and the top of the exhaust port at any point then the engine is deemed illegal.
Step 4. Check Inlet Duration
Re-zero the gauge with the piston holding the 5mm rod in the exhaust port with gentle pressure
on the crankshaft. Once the gauge has been re zeroed, the crankshaft can be rotated until the dial
gauge reads the appropriate Exhaust open to inlet open dimension in the table below. If the
5 mm pin can be tted between the lower edge of the piston and the bottom of the inlet port at
any point then the engine is deemed illegal.
Step 5. Check exhaust/transfer port split when using a rod with 5 grooves (for S & J rods) or
4 grooves (for R & L rods).
After Step 4 (with the gauge still zeroed for the exhaust opening position), the crankshaft can be
rotated until the dial gauge reads the appropriate Exhaust open to transfer open dimension in
the table below. If the 5 mm AKA transfer port checking tool can be tted between the top edge
of the piston and the top of the any transfer port at any point then the engine is deemed illegal

It is expected that this class will continue to evolve during its early life and the promoters of the
class reserve the right to alter the technical regulations with AKA approval at short notice to
ensure the safety of drivers, fairness of competition, economy and wishes of the competitors.
Spirit & Intent:
BRP-Rotaxs goals for the Formula Rotax class worldwide are:
a) To provide a class with low running cost and low noise emissions compared to conventional
100cc racing karts.
b) To eliminate some of the variables within the class. The intention of this is to reduce the
amount of testing and technical expertise required to be competitive, placing the emphasis
on driver skill.
c) To have the rules for Formula Rotax alike in all countries using the Rotax Max engine.
Warranty:
It is strongly recommended that no modications whatsoever be performed to Rotax Max engines,
as this may render the warranty null or void.

Notice of any change of equipment must be notied to the Technical Ofcer /scrutineer before
the start of any race or timed practice. Equipment, as entered on the technical passport, may be
used at the entrants discretion with the approval of the Technical Ofcer/ scrutineer. The change
of chassis, engine or tyres is forbidden during the starting procedure and between the start and
nish of any race unless the race is stopped and then declared a wet race.
The issues of engine replacement due to total mechanical failure has been discussed earlier in this
document.
Article 21 Tyres
Slick tyres KF2 Four (4) front and Four (4) rear tyres
Wet weather tyres KF2 Four (4) front and four (4) rear tyres :Wet tyres will be marked
and impounded after use and retained in parc ferme until post
race scrutineering.
A set of tyres comprises two front and two rear tyres of the same approved make and type. Please
note in the opening round only, Six (6) front slicks and six (6) rear slick tyres will be issued (1 set
for unofcial practice and 2 sets for ofcial practice and competition). At all rounds the wet tyre
availability when the conditions are determined will be two (2) sets.
Article 22 Tyre Impounding
A system of tyre pooling and impounding will be employed at all rounds. The selected compound
will be stated in the supplementary regulations. All slick tyres to be used for racing at this event
will be delivered direct to the Service Park by the nominated tyre supplier. These tyres will remain
in Service Park until the end of the meeting. It is the competitors responsibility to organise with
the AKA/IKC the purchase and supply of tyres. KF2 will have impounded 4 front tyres and 4 rear
tyres and wet tyres after use when conditions are deemed to allow the use of wet tyres. In
KF2 the selection and use of tyres in Service Park is free, subject to Service Park access as set
out in the ofcial timetable. Any changes or additions to this procedure will be stated in the
supplementary regulations for the event.
Article 23 Timed Qualifying
Timed qualifying will be conducted using the AMB, or other CIK/FIA Group approved timing
system. Transponder units must be tted in purpose made AMB holders unless otherwise
approved. The fastest lap time for each driver will determine their position on the grid for the
heats. In the event of a tie, the fastest lap/laps will determine position. If no time is recorded
for a driver they shall take the start in the heats at the rear of the grid. If several drivers are in
that situation their starting positions shall be decided by drawing lots. Any driver who does not
record a time is not eligible for a re-run unless in the opinion of the Stewards, the transponder
was faulty. A competitor who fails to register a qualifying time as result of a faulty transponder
or through the fault of the organisers, must be given a complete timed session. If it was the rst
or only qualifying session, the competitor may t new tyres at his/her own expense and with the
approval of the Stewards. When a transponder system is in use at race meetings for qualifying
and/or lap scoring, it is the drivers responsibility to obtain their allocated transponder, correctly
t it to the kart and return it to the organisers. If a competitor is deemed to be underweight
in a session they shall receive a time penalty of the slowest qualifying time for their class plus
one second.
Article 24 Starts
A rolling start shall be given by means of light signals. Should the lights fail, the national ag shall
be used. The grid shall be made up of two lines of karts arranged in the order of the best times
set during ofcial timed practice, or the order of points obtained in the heats, or in the order of
arrival position of the rst nal.
Article 24.1 Rolling Start Procedure
From the moment the starter signals for the karts to be released, the drivers are under starters
orders and may not received any outside assistance for repairs or other adjustments to their
equipment while on the track.
From the moment the start procedure commences, race conditions apply. Wherever a kart is
on the track it is forbidden to receive any assistance, other than to remove the kart to a place
of safety.
A line will be painted 25 m before the start line and it is FORBIDDEN to accelerate before the
front row of the grid has crossed this line. Karts will cover approximately one Formation Lap
before the start may be given. It is forbidden to overtake another driver under pain of a penalty
inicted by the stewards. If a driver stops for any reason during the Formation Lap, he/she will
not be allowed to try and start again before he/she has been passed by the whole eld. He/she
shall start again from the back of the formation. Should he/she try to start ahead of the eld in
the hope that the leading drivers overtake him, he/she would be shown the black ag and be
excluded from that Race.
A driver who is delayed will have the possibility of regaining his/her grid position only if this
manoeuvre does not impede other drivers. In order to regain ones position, it is forbidden to use
any course other than the track used during the Race.
If he/she considers that a driver has been immobilised as a result of another drivers mistake, the
Clerk of Course may stop the Formation Lap and start again the Starting Procedure on the basis
of the original grid or allow the impeded driver to regain his/her position.
At the end of the formation lap drivers will approach the start line at slow speed and in two lines.
No lights will be on. No kart may accelerate before crossing the yellow line and before the green
light is turned on. If the starter is happy with the formation he/she will give the start by switching
on the green light. If he/she is not happy with the formation he/she will switch on the orange
light, which means another formation lap must be covered.
Article 25 On Track Safety
Any obstructive manoeuvre carried out by one or several drivers, with or without common
interests, is prohibited. The driver of any kart leaving the race shall signal his/her intention in
good time and is responsible for ensuring that the manoeuvre is carried out safely and as near as
possible to the point of exit. It is forbidden to use any route other than the track used for the race
to gain/regain a place.
Whilst practicing or competing, karts shall not be driven other than on the dened track, in the
pits, and in such other areas as Supplementary Regulations may specify. The track is the portion of
the sealed surface between and including the white edge lines.
Should a driver be compelled to stop his/her kart, either involuntarily or for any other reason, the
kart shall be moved off the track as soon as practical so that its presence does not constitute a
danger or prevent the normal running of the race. If the driver is not able to move the kart out of
the potentially dangerous position, it is the duty of the ofcials to assist, but only if this may be
done without prejudice to their normal duties.
During practice sessions and the race, access from the track to the pits is allowed only through the
deceleration zone. Penalty for breach of this rule shall be exclusion from the race, or the relevant
practice session, and such other penalty as the stewards may apply. In no circumstances may a
vehicle travel in a direction opposite to that of the event.
Article 26 Mechanical Breakdown Lane
Refer Rule 17.10. From the time the race ends (chequered ag is given to the lead kart) any kart
in the mechanical breakdown lane undergoing repairs has three minutes to restart and cross the
nish line, to be classied as a nisher.
Article 27 Restarting
Restarting of a kart is permitted during practice and racing. A driver should only attempt to restart
a kart if it can be done with safety and without unduly hindering other competitors. Any driver not
respecting this rule may be directed to remove his/her kart from the track to a place of safety.
Article 28 Stopping the Race
If deemed necessary to stop the race due to an accident circuit blockage or because of weather
conditions or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, a red ag will be displayed at the
start line all karts will return slowly to the in grid/parc ferme/service park The procedure to be
followed varies according to the number of laps completed by the race leader before the signal to
stop the race was given:
(a) If less than 2 laps have been covered, the original start will be deemed null and void. A new
start will be given. For the restart, the grid used will be the one drawn up for the rst start,
with the Drivers allowed to take the restart in their original grid positions. Unoccupied places
on the grid shall remain vacant.
(b) If more than 2 laps but less than 75% of the distance scheduled for the race (rounded up to
the nearest whole number of laps), the race will be restarted. The length of the race will be
the original number of laps less the number already completed. Those Drivers having crossed
the Finishing Line at the end of the lap on which the race was stopped, and those who were
in the mechanical breakdown lane, when the red ag was shown will be eligible to take the
restart, either in their original kart or in their reserve kart. Grid positions will be determined
by the nishing order of at the end of the lap before the one on which the race was stopped.
(c) If 75% or more of the race distance (rounded up to the nearest whole higher number of laps)
is completed the karts shall be sent directly to the Parc Ferme and the race will be deemed
to have nished when the leading kart crossed the Line at the end of the lap prior to that
during which the race was stopped.
In events (a) and (b), working on karts will be allowed only in the Parc Ferme. Spare equipment
may be introduced (only the equipment identied in the case of chassis and/or engines) and
refueling will be allowed.
Article 29 Finish
As soon as the chequered ag has been shown to a driver at the end of the race, he/she must
proceed directly, using only the authorised route, to the parc ferme in the order of their nish
position. From the moment the driver receives the chequered ag until he/she is released from
parc ferme he/she is under parc ferme conditions and must make no alteration or adjustments to
his/her kart or other material or equipment.
In the rst nal and second nal of the Australian Championships, any driver about to be lapped
or who has been lapped for any reason whatsoever as from the rst lap onwards may be shown
the blue and red ag (double diagonal) with his/her number. He/she must go back to the scale in
parc ferme and will be classied according to the number of laps completed. Any driver who does
not obey the order given by the blue/red ag may be excluded from the event.
Article 30 Qualifying Heats
Starting positions in the qualifying heats are awarded according to classication obtained in
timed practice.
Article 31 Point Score for Heats
Each heat will have a length of approximately 15 km and points for the heats will be awarded as
follows:
1st place 0 points
2nd place 2 points
3rd place 3points
and so on with 1 point being added for each place.
Any driver, who has not completed the full number of provided laps, even if he/she does not nish
the heat, will be classied according to the number of laps completed.
If a driver fails to make the start they will be awarded points equal to the number of entries in the
heat of that class. If any driver is disqualied from a race they will be awarded points equal to the
number of entries in the heat of that class plus one.
At the end of the qualifying heats, the drivers with the lowest accumulated points will qualify
for the nals. In case of a tie in total points between two or more drivers, they will be ranked
according to the fastest times set in timed practice. The maximum number of competitors to
progress to the rst nal and second nal will be equal to the permitted track density.
Article 32 Non-competition
It is the spirit and intent of the competition that all races should be contested to the fullest.
Where a competitor is considered to have missed or retired from a race in an attempt to gain an
advantage, then they may be required to appear before the stewards for the appropriate action
and/or penalty.
Article 33 Final 1 Final 2
The rst and second Final will be conducted over a total combined distance of approximately
50km according to the following system. Starting grid positions for the rst nal are according to
the total number of points obtained by the qualiers in the elimination heats, with lowest total
accumulated points to the front. In the case of equal accumulated points, lowest timed practice
results will determine the outcome.
Any driver, who does not complete the full number of provided laps, even if he/she does not nish
the rst nal, will be classied according to the number of laps completed. Starting grid positions
for Final 2 will be determined according to the nishing position in the rst nal.
Both nals shall be of equal length.
Article 34 Reserved
Article 35 Results
The placings for each round will be determined by the placings obtained in the nal. Any driver
who has not completed the full number of provided laps, even if he/she does not nish the nal,
will be classied according to the number of laps completed.
Trophies will be presented for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place getters at the completion of each round.

b) Numbers not applicable to endurance karting (refer to 51.08.7).
51.04 Time For Practice
The Promoters (Club) must provide time for practice for all competitors on the day of competition
or the day immediately prior to the event.
51.05 Change of Motors
10. Not applicable to endurance karting and the Honda GX200 motor.
51.06 Introduction
An endurance karting event is a speed event conducted on a circuit with a sealed surface usually
with a duration of not less than one hour.
51.07 Endurance Racing Competition Regulations
1. Team Registration
All drivers/teams in an event are required to submit a completed Race Entry form for the team
prior to the nominated entry closing time as specied in the Supplementary Regulations for the
event. Teams may nominate a Team Name which may be a company, business or other name. This
name must not be offensive to the public or other competitors.
2. Licences
Seniors and Juniors are not to mix as per the AKA Manual
The minimum licence requirement for endurance racing is a Provisional D Grade Licence.
P Plate drivers are to start at the rear of the grid in their own qualifying order.
CHAPTER 51
ENDURANCE KARTING
3. Required Number of Drivers
The minimum number of drivers that can be nominated for an event is as follows:
2 hours Minimum 2 drivers
8 hours - Minimum 3 drivers
24 hours - Minimum 4 drivers
Once a race has commenced, there can be no change to the drivers nominated for that event.
Cross entering of drivers between teams is not permitted.
4. Driving Limit
No driver is permitted to drive for more than 60 minutes without a driver change. A minimum
break of at least 20 minutes must be taken in between driving stints. Minimum penalty for
infringement: Computer lap penalty of 5 laps.
5. Compulsory Pit Stops
The number and format of compulsory pits stops required will be specied in the Supplementary
Regulations for each event. As a minimum, each event is required to have the following minimum
number of compulsory pits stops:
2 hour events 4 pit stops (including the stop at the end of the event)
24 hour events no minimum requirement
It is the responsibility of each team to monitor the number of pit stops. The electronic pit stop
record is not available to teams.
Stop/go penalties do not count as compulsory pit stops.
6. Timing and Lap Scoring
All timing and lap scoring will be computerised using an electronic transponder system. Any driver,
team member or pit crew attempting to interfere or tamper with this equipment, will along with
the entire team, be excluded from the event and all entry fees will be forfeited. Apart from the
designated ofcial(s) no person is to touch the race computer.
It is the responsibility of the team to securely attach the transponder to the kart. If the
transponder is dislocated or dislodged during the race, it is the teams responsibility to replace it.
At the discretion of the Clerk of the Course, and taking into account the circumstances, time lost
may be adjusted on the electronic timing system.
Transponders must be mounted on the inside of the left hand side pod with the leading edge of
the transponder 250mm to the rear of the centre line of the front left hand stub axle measured
when the front wheels are pointing straight ahead.
Should the timing system fail at any time for any reason whatsoever, the race will be red agged
and the race order for the restart or results will be as shown on the most recent printout or
computer record.
Should a teams transponder fail, they will be credited with laps equivalent to time from the point
at which the transponder ceased to function to the time they rejoin the race with a replacement
transponder. The method for determining the number of laps to be credited will be to take
an average lap time based on the teams performance immediately prior to the failure of the
transponder. Pit or fuel stops will be taken into consideration when making such calculations.
Laps will only be credited where the Clerk of the Course determine that there has been a genuine
transponder failure. Note: If a battery was not sufciently charged prior to the event by the
competitor, this is not considered a genuine transponder failure and consequently any loss of laps
and/or position as a result will remain.
A team will not score any points if the kart does not cross the start/nish line at the completion of
the event under its own power within two minutes of the chequered ag being waved to signal
the completion of the event. This result will be recorded as a DNF (Did Not Finish).
7. Qualifying
Qualifying will usually be limited to a specied maximum number of laps during a qualifying
period. Any team that exceeds the maximum number of laps permitted will start from the rear of
the grid. If more than one team exceeds the maximum number of laps permitted, the last team to
infringe will start from the rear of the eld. Note: The out lap and in lap are included in the
maximum number of laps allowed.
Alternate qualifying procedures may be advised by the Promoters (Club) prior to the event.
During qualifying, drivers should be particularly aware of other karts on the circuit. The Clerk of
the Course may black ag drivers who are impeding the qualifying laps of other drivers.
Tyres used during qualifying must be used to commence the race unless the Clerk of the Course
indicates that there has been a change in race conditions.
51.09 Pit Area
The pit area is the area designated by the Clerk of the Course for driver changes.
Driver changes are not permitted in the refuelling or weighing area unless specically permitted
by the Clerk of the Course for a particular activity or event.
The Clerk of the Course may appoint a Pit Marshal(s) to control the pit area.
Competitors are required to obey the directions of the Pit Marshal(s) at all times.
Karts must be driven at a safe speed within the pit area (no more than 20 kilometres per hour).
Pit speed limits are applied for safety reasons and will be strictly policed and enforced by the
Clerk of the Course or Pit Marshal(s). A minimum time period may be specied for a kart to travel
from the pit entry to the pit exit.
Chain oiling and minor mechanical or damage repairs only are permitted in this area. For repairs
requiring more than 2 minutes, the kart must be removed to the paddock area. Any kart removed
to the paddock area may be inspected by a Scrutineer(s) prior to being permitted to restart.
Extreme care and caution should be exercised when rejoining the circuit from the pit lane. You
should only rejoin the circuit when it is safe to do so or when instructed to do so by the Pit Marshal.
Pit Area infringements may result in any of the following penalties: stop/go penalty, computer lap
penalty or exclusion from the event.
During an event (including practice, qualifying and race) only the driver getting out of the kart,
the driver getting into the kart and one pit crew are permitted in the pit area. Once a pit stop has
been completed they are to leave the pit area immediately. One member of the team is permitted
in the pit area to monitor the race and to signal the driver.
51.10 Minimum Weight and Weighing Procedures
1. Minimum Weight
The minimum weight of the kart, inclusive of driver, engines and engine oil shall not be less than
185 kilograms using the scales nominated by the Clerk of the Course at the event. Karts may
be weighed at any time during qualifying, the race or at post race scrutineering at the discretion
of the Clerk of the Course. Penalty for Infringement: 5 laps deducted for every kilogram or part
thereof under the weight limit.
If a kart is underweight it will be required to be re-weighed. In this case the team requiring
reweighing will have to wait for any other teams waiting to use the scales.
2. Fixing of Ballast to the Kart
Ballast may be added to the kart but must be rmly attached with secure mechanical xings. Any
ballast carried in the seat or seat insert must be restrained by a method deemed acceptable by the
scrutineer. It is the teams responsibility to supply ballast if required. A team may be disqualied
from the event if any ballast becomes dislodged during practice, qualifying or the race.
No divers belts or other methods of ballast are to be carried by drivers. It is a serious offence to
have any ballast in a drivers clothing or on a drivers person.

from the event.
51.12 Race Regulations
1. Starting Grid
All karts must be taken to the marshalling / dummy grid at least ve minutes prior to the
commencement of the race. The pit lane will close ve minutes before the commencement of the
race and any karts not on the grid will start from the pit lane. Note: This may mean that the out
lap is not electronically recorded as a race lap. In this case, there will be no computer adjustment.
2. Race Start
Karts will do the number of warm-up laps as directed by the Clerk of the Course (normally two)
and will then be directed to their grid positions on the completion of the nal warm-up lap. The
rst warm-up lap is free, that is, weaving is permitted; the second warm-up lap is under starters
orders and no weaving is permitted. During the warm up laps, karts are to maintain grid position.
The start ofcials will direct karts to grid positions. Karts arriving late to the dummy grid area
w||| sa| |or |e |ea| o |e e|d. w|eu a|| |a|s a|e |u |e|| ||d pos||ous |e |ace sa| w||| be
signaled.
3. Access to the Track
Unless authorised by the Clerk of the Course, apart from the driver, no team member, pit crew,
spectator or other person is to access the track area during an activity or race.
4. Breakdown or Stoppage on the Circuit
Should a kart break down on the circuit the driver is permitted to carry out minor repairs to allow
the kart to rejoin the race or to expedite the return of the kart to the pit area. Any repairs may
only be effected by hand and no tools are permitted to be carried by the driver, on the kart or to
be taken onto the circuit. No other team member may assist in any such repairs.
Repairs are only permitted once the kart and driver have been moved to a position of safety.
w|||s |u |e couues o |e |ac| |e d||.e| rus |ea.e a|| p|oec|.e c|o||u ou |uc|ud|u
helmet, driving suit, boots and gloves.
Any kart breaking down on the circuit may be returned to the pit or paddock area for repair with
the approval of, and under the supervision of an appropriate ofcial. No member of the team
or pit crew is permitted onto the circuit to work on or help retrieve the kart without the express
permission of the Clerk of the Course.
5. Safety Vehicle
A safety vehicle may be used from time to time to control the race under certain circumstances.
Should the need to use the safety vehicle arise the following protocol should be observed.
A white board with the initials SK in black will be used to indicate a Full Course Caution. This
indicates that a safety vehicle or slow vehicle is on the circuit or likely to enter the circuit.
Competitors must slow down and maintain position. No overtaking is permitted.
In the event of a full course caution, where possible or safe, the safety vehicle will enter the
circuit in front of the lead kart. If unable to enter the circuit in front of the lead kart, drivers will
be waved past by the safety vehicle driver, Clerk of the Course or nominated ofcial until the lead
kart is behind the safety vehicle. Unless specically instructed by the safety vehicle driver, Clerk of
the Course or nominated ofcial, under no circumstances do you overtake the safety vehicle. All
karts must proceed in single le behind the safety vehicle.
Under a safety vehicle, karts should attempt to close up on the line of karts behind the safety kart
and should not unfairly impede the progress of the kart behind. In these circumstances, the Clerk
of the Course or nominated ofcial may wave the kart behind through and may impose a stop/go
penalty on the impeding kart.
As soon as a full course caution is instated, the Pit entry shall be closed to all karts. No pits stops
are permitted until the eld is stabilised behind the lead kart and the Pit entry is opened by the

1. What is AKA Position on Doping?
1.1 AKA Incorporated condemns the use of performance enhancing drugs and doping practices in
sport. The use of performance enhancing drugs and doping practices is contrary to the ethics
of sport and potentially harmful to the health of members and competitors. The only legitimate
use of drugs in sport is under the supervision of a physician for a clinically justied purpose.
1.2 AKA aims to prevent doping practices in sport by:
a. imposing effective sanctions on persons who commit doping offences
b. educating and informing persons about drugs in sport issues, and
c. Implementing drug testing programs and education initiatives.
1.1 AKA will:
a. give ASDA timely and accurate member contact information as and when required.
b. engage appropriate drug testing authorities to conduct doping control
c. make this Policy available to competitors, ofcials and medical and health practitioners
d. develop and implement drug education and information programs for competitors,
ofcials and medical and health practitioners, and
1.1 Competitors and other persons may be subject to testing, investigation and discipline under
this Policy.
1.2 AKA will not disclose or use information about a person who is alleged to have, or has
committed a doping offence except (for a purpose under this Policy) to:
a. the ASC
b. the FIA/CIK, or
c. another person until after:
(i) the AKA, AKA Tribunal or the CAS has made a determination, or
(ii) the CEO has decided not to refer the matter to a hearing.
2. Who does this Policy Apply to?
This Policy applies to:
a. Members
b. competitors, ofcials and
c. employees and contractors of AKA Incorporated.
3. What is a Doping Offence?
3.1 A competitor commits a doping offence if:
a) a prohibited substance (see Attachment 1) is present within the competitor's body tissue,
u|ds o| ep||ed a||, uu|ess ecep w|e|e.
(i) the competitor uses the prohibited substance for a therapeutic purpose (see clause 3.4),
or
(ii) there are exceptional circumstances (see clause 3.5)
b) the competitor uses or takes advantage of a prohibited method, (see Attachment 2) or
c) the competitor refuses to provide a sample for testing when requested by a drug
testing authority.
AKA DRUGS IN SPORT POLICY
3.2 A person (including a competitor) commits a doping offence if:
a) the person is knowingly involved in trafcking, or
b) the person knowingly assists, or is knowingly involved in the commission of a doping
offence by another person.
3.3 A doping offence is proved if a person admits to having committed the doping offence to
another person.
Therapeutic Purpose
3.4 A person uses a prohibited substance for a therapeutic purpose if:
a) The person had provided notication to the CEO prior to testing
b) the person had written approval prior to testing from a AKA State Medical Assessor or the
AKA Chief Medical Assessor for the therapeutic use of the prohibited substance
c) the level of the prohibited substance in the sample is consistent with the approved
therapeutic use, and
d) rules permit the therapeutic use of the prohibited substance and is consistent with the FIA
rules (see Attachment 3).
Exceptional Circumstances
3.5 Exceptional extenuating circumstances exist if the presence of the prohibited substance is
beyond the person's control. For example:
|e pe|sou |as a uau|a| !/E !esose|oue . Ep|esose|oue |a|o abo.e 6.1, o|
|e pe|sou |s adr|u|se|ed |e p|o||b|ed subsauce |u |osp|a| w||ou |e|| |uow|ede.
Exceptional extenuating circumstances do not exist merely because the person:
a) took the prohibited substance inadvertently, or
b) did not know that the substance was prohibited.
3.6 The onus of proof is on the person who claims that:
a) they used a prohibited substance for a therapeutic purpose, or

Attachment 1
Prohibited Methods of Doping
A. BLOOD DOPING
Blood transfusion is the intravenous administration of red blood cells or related blood
products that contain red blood cells. Such products can be obtained from blood drawn from
|e sare (/uo|oous) o| |or a d|e|eu (uou/uo|oous) |ud|.|dua|. !|e ros corrou
indications for red blood transfusion in conventional medical practice are acute blood loss
and severe anaemia. Blood doping is the administration of blood or related red blood
products to an athlete. This procedure may be preceded by withdrawal of blood from the
athlete who continues to train in this blood depleted state. These procedures contravene the
ethics of medicine and of sport. There are also risks involved in the transfusion of blood and
related blood products. These include the development of allergic reactions (rash, fever etc.)
and acute haemolytic reaction with kidney damage if incorrectly typed blood is used, as well
as delayed transfusion reaction resulting in fever and jaundice, transmission of infectious
diseases (viral hepatitis and AIDS) overload of the circulation and metabolic shock. Therefore
the practice of blood doping in sport is banned by AKA Incorporated and the IOC Medical
Commission. AKA Incorporated and the IOC Medical Commission bans Erythropoietin as
re|od o dop|u (see sec|ou l, 0op|u C|asses, flep|de |o|roues aud aua|oues).
B. PHARMACOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL MANIPULATION Pharmaceutical,
chemical and physical manipulation is the use of substances and of methods which alter,
attempt to alter or may reasonably be expected to alter the integrity and validity of urine
samples used in doping controls, including, without limitation, catheterisation, urine
substitution and or tampering, inhibition of renal excretion such as by probenecid and related
compounds and epitosterone application. The success or failure of a prohibited substance
or method is not material. It is sufcient that the said substance or procedure was used or
attempted for the infraction to be considered as consummated.
Attachment 2
Prohibited Substances in AKA Permitted Motor Sport
A BROAD CLASSES OF SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED IN MOTOR SPORT INCLUDE:
1. STIMULANTS e.g. amphetamines, cocaine, ephedrine, salbutamol (Ventolin) and
terbutaline (Bricanyl). The latter two are permitted by inhaler only and only with prior
written notication of the physician. Caffeine is permitted provided the concentration in
the urine does not exceed 12 micrograms/mL.
2. 2 NARCOTIC ANALGESICS e.g. diamorphine (heroin), methadone, morphine, pentazocine,
pethidine and related substances.
3. /N/bCLlC /CEN!' (auabo||c aud|oeu|c se|o|ds) e.., uo,rese|oue, re|euo|oue,
nandrolone, oxandrolone, stanazol, testosterone and related substances.
4. DIURETICS e.g. chlorthalidone, frusemide, hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone and related
subsauces. !|ese a|e w|de|, used o| |e e||r|ua|ou o ecess u|d |or |ssues |u
certain pathological conditions and in the treatment of high blood pressure. They may be
misused by competitors for two main reasons: to reduce weight quickly in sports where
weight categories are involved, and to reduce the concentration of drugs by diluting the
urine.
5. PEPTIDE AND GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONES AND ANALOGUES e.g. HCG, ACTH, H.
Administration of these compounds increases the rate of production of the body's own
steroids and is considered equivalent to the administration of steroids. Erythropoietin
induces changes similar to blood doping and is therefore prohibited. In addition to the
IOC list of prohibited substances, AKA Incorporated may prohibit or restrict the use of the
following substances:
6. /N!lFl'!/VlNE' ('au|a||e|,' d|us) !|e o|de| au|||sar|ues (e.. p|eu||ar|ue,
diphenhydramine, promethazine, chlorpheniramine etc.) have been shown to impair motor
skills and judgement and may have an additive effect with other medications. They should
uo be a|eu |u |e weu,ou| |ou|s p||o| o a roo| spo| e.eu. !|e uewe| 'uou
sedating" antihistamines (terfenadine, loratadine, astemizole and cetirizine) have not been
shown to signicantly impair motor skills or judgement and are permitted.
7. PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS Most of the psychiatric medications are liable to cause some degree
of drowsiness or diminished concentration or motor performance. These drugs are also
used to treat many conditions which are themselves a contraindication to participation in
motor sport. However the individual response to these drugs is very difcult to predict and
the drugs may be taken for many different conditions and in greatly varying dosages. In
general, the following drugs are prohibited if currently taken:
||c,c||c, e|ac,c||c aud V/Cl au|dep|essaus
au|ps,c|o|cs
r|uo| |auqu||||se|s aud seda|.es
CN' s|ru|aus (|uc|uded ou |e lCC ||s)
If a person has been taking any of these drugs on a regular basis, a period of at least two
weeks should elapse before they can be assessed for tness to participate in motor sport.
The drugs which may be permitted after individual assessment include:
ra|ueuauce |eareu w|| ''Rl o| RlV/ au|dep|essaus
ra|ueuauce |eareu w|| 'rood sab||se|s' (e.. ||||ur, ca|bara.ep|ue o|
sodium valproate)
B. CLASSES OF DRUGS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS IN MOTOR SPORT
Alcohol
Tests may be conducted for ethanol. The blood alcohol content must be 0.02mg/100mL.
Positive results will lead to sanctions. Marijuana Tests may be conducted for cannabnoids
(Marijuana, Hashish etc) Positive results will lead to sanctions.
Local anaesthetics
Injectable local anaesthetics are permitted under the following conditions:
A that bupivacaine, lidocaine, mepivacaine, procaine etc. are used but not cocaine.
Vasoconstrictor agents (e.g. adrenaline) may be used in conjunction with local
anaesthetics.
b ou|, |oca| o| |u|aa||cu|a| |ujec|ous ra, be adr|u|se|ed,
C only when medically justied. In agreement with International Sports Federations and
the responsible authorities, notication of the permitted use may be necessary except
for dental application. The details including diagnosis, dose and route of administration
must be submitted prior to the competition or, if administered during the competition,
immediately after injection, in writing to the relevant medical authority. Corticosteroids.
The use of corticosteroids is banned except:

and related substances.
The IOC Medical Commission has reviewed the therapeutic indications for the use of
betablocking drugs and noted that there is now a wide range of effective alternative
preparations available in order to control hypertension, cardiac arrythmias, angina pectoris
