At the 15th November 2019 AIDKA council meeting the Club’s Voted 10:3 to allow the introduction of the alternative X30 components from February 2020 AIDKA conducted both Dyno and Track Testing on these components and presented this information to the council before the clubs made their decision. Testing was conducted by two drivers at two different tracks.  Similar findings were found by both drivers.  The first test was performed in race conditions while the second test was a one on one test, new vs old components. TEST RESULTS  The results can be summarized as follows: Tillotson HW-27A carby with larger reed block (29mm instead of 28mm) felt strong but in comparison to the old Tryton carby, lacked bottom end power. The New Style Pipe gave us the reverse result with increased bottom end power out of the tight corners of the track.  Without changing anything like gearing, it still maintained similar mid-range and bottom end power compared to the old pipe. The PVL ignition provided no difference in performance. When both the Tillotson HW-27A carby and New style muffler were used together there was negligible difference between the new pipe/carby and the old pipe carby combination.   For this reason, it was proposed that either new or old pipe/carby combinations could be used, but not a combination of the two. Dyno testing did show an increase in power in the lower power range but it has not shown on the track.  This may be put down to dirt karts not using the lower end power range as offer as bitumen karts do.   THE NEW RULE FOR 2020  The clubs voted to allow the following: Either combinations of the following carby & pipe Tryton Carby & 2017 Header pipe/ Exhaust combination or Tillotson HW-27A carby & one-piece exhaust Either ignition can be used with each carby/pipe combination The use of the new wider radiator is also allowed to be used with any of the AIDKA approved engines   WHY THE CHANGE?  This change was due to IAME changing the components available on new engines.   Karting Australia introduced the carby and pipe at the beginning of 2018 and the ignition at the start of 2019.   IAME...

As you would all be aware by now, AIDKA has very nearly completed its Member Protection Policy (MPP). Part of our requirements in this policy is to have people with key positions within each club to have a Police clearance (or equivalent) as was mentioned in the last Council meeting Minutes. Club President, Club Secretary, Club Licence Secretary, Club Nomination Secretary, Chief Steward or Steward, Treasurer and anyone else who would have access to your member database. CAN CLUBS PLEASE START GETTING THESE CHECKS DONE ASAP. THERE ARE SOME CHANGES COMING UP IN GOVERNMENT AND THESE CHECKS MAY SOON NOT BE FREE (SA CLUBS) Please see attached the relevant information for each state and the links to start the process. Once the checks have been mailed back to each applicant, I only need to site your Certificate and record the necessary details. If you wish to email me a copy, you may and then I will delete your email. You can also wait until you see me again in person to show me. By law I am not allowed to keep a copy of your Certificate on file. SA Clubs – National Police Check Application (PD267) is required to be filled out and have your 100 point verification checks done. Once this is done, originals must be mailed to me (PO Box 1108 Loxton SA 5333) so I can fill out the Volunteer Authority (VOAN) and then I’ll forward on to SA Police. There is no charge using the VOAN process. WA Clubs – you are required to have a Working with Children Check. I believe this will cost each applicant $11.
