Be a VKA vintage karting participant The VKA envisions vintage karting events that are inclusive, offering something for everyone, go to an event and discover your interest, if you don't find what you want, let us know about it!
Communicate with the VKA - it's easy... The VKA encourages direct member input, and wants to hear from you ... what do you like, what could be better...? Talk to VKA Board member, usually in attendance at major events, or email them directly ....
...if you have a significant idea or concern that the entire VKA Board should review, follow this procedure for clearly conveying your thoughts to the entire VKA Board ...
What are VKA events like? Over the past 7+ years, the typical event format has usually consisted of several days of track practice sessions followed by racing heats. Events also usually include a judged Vintage Kart Show Competition, and one or more evening social gatherings. The events are less about "winning" and more about socially connecting and having FUN!
Why is it not allowed for VKA Members to have Forum discussions of VKA Guidelines & Operation, event racing rules, or leave ideas/concerns there for VKA Board members??? Due to the very public nature of the VKA Forum, it has been proven in the past that such public discussion can be negative, even highly 'inappropriate' and certainly not in the best interest of vintage karting. As an alternative, registered forum users are encouraged to use the private email and private message system of the Forum for discussing VKA operations, guidelines,racing rules, etc, or for conveying thoughts to the VKA Board, use one of the multiple easy communication methods noted above... Let's all work together to convey vintage karting in a positive way to the public!
What's going on at the VKA? ... a lot! VKA Members and non-members are encouraged to read the monthly VKA Board Meeting Minutes to see what the VKA is talking about and what is being done with paid member dues & donations.
What are VKA Guidelines for? The VKA Guidelines are intended to be used by event promoters for the planning of their events, with the intention of having a degree of consistency across all VKA associated vintage karting events. It is entirely up to the event promoter to decide what VKA Guidelines are appropriate for their event. The VKA is not responsible for enforcing VKA Guideline compliance.
A few facts directed at common mis-understandings > The VKA is not a sanctioning body like the IKF or WKA. > The VKA does not provide any insurance for events > The VKA is not an event promoter > The VKA does not define or enforce event rules - the promoters do > The VKA does not control local option classes promoters may add to their events > The VKA does not dictate types of events - the promoter chooses how to demonstrate to the public what karting was like in the vintage era.
