The primary rulebook governing the Need for Speed Karting Championship. Covers all classes, weights, tech inspection, on-track conduct, flagging, protests, and penalties. If the Briggs LO206 rulebook conflicts with CKNA, the LO206 rulebook governs for LO206 classes only.
The official Briggs & Stratton LO206 engine rulebook. Applies to all LO206 classes (Light, Heavy, Jr, Cadet, Over 35 Rookie, Female, Veteran Over 50). Sealed-engine specs, fuel rules, tech procedure and permitted modifications live here.
The Guyana Karting Club's local rulebook governing the Honda GX200 (200cc) spec class. Engine prep, sealing, fuel, weights, and tech procedure for Honda only. CKNA still governs everything else; this rulebook supersedes CKNA where they conflict for the Honda GX200 class.
By registering for the championship you acknowledge you've read and will abide by all applicable rulebooks for the classes you enter. Official interpretations are issued by race control at each event.
The prize listed for each class is the championship purse, paid to the season champion in that class at the end of the series (Round 3, Dec 20, 2026). Per-round results contribute to the championship standings. Top-3 each round receive a podium ceremony; the cheque is presented at the season finale.
All competitors must purchase tires from the series at the track. Tire brand and compound per class (MG Red and MG Yellow) is fixed and enforced at tech. Tires are included automatically when you register each class.
