A email went out to all nominated drivers for the 2022 NT Dirt Kart State Title this week advising that we will be trialling delivering the Drivers Brief via Drivers Briefing Notes.  Again the intention of trialling this is to reduce the amount of time at the morning drivers briefing whilst still relaying all the important information to Drivers & Pit Crews before the commencement of the meeting. The Drivers Briefing Notes – click on Download link below: Drivers Briefing Notes_FINALDownload So what do you need to do? Ensure you and your pit crew have read and understood the Drivers Briefing Notes. This is CRUCIAL.   If you have a driver under the age of 18 please ensure they understand the contents of the Drivers Briefing Notes. At Driver Registration you will sign to acknowledge you have read and understood the Drivers Briefing Notes. Please ask any questions you may have at the In Person Drivers Briefing on Friday morning (15th July 2022) Be open minded about the trial. We will be asking for your feedback after the event. We genuinely want to know if you thought this worked or not, added value to the meeting or not, and what further improvements can be made. If you have any questions regarding any of the above please do not hesitate to contact AIDKA Secretary Kylie Thompson (secretary@aidka.com.au or 0400 114 135.)  Otherwise we look forward to seeing you in...

The 2022 Northern Territory Titles are fast approaching. And, after not being able to run this event for the past 2 seasons, we are excited to crown the 2022 Northern Territory Dirt Kart Champions! However, at this Title we are going to trial using Drivers Briefing Notes.  The intention of trialling this is to reduce the amount of time at the morning drivers briefing whilst still relaying all the important information to Drivers & Pit Crews before the commencement of the meeting. So what does this mean? The Drivers Briefing Notes will be published on the AIDKA Website on Wednesday 13th July 2022. The link to the Drivers Briefing Notes will be sent out to ALL AIDKA Licence Holders via the AIDKA App. The link will also be published on the AIDKA Facebook Page, and under the “Documents” section on the AIDKA App. The reason it will go to ALL licence holders and not just the nominated drivers is to capture pit crew licence holders including those with drivers under 18 years of age. If, over the course of the weekend, an update needs to be issued the notification will be sent out via the AIDKA App at the completion of the days racing. A very short drivers briefing will be held Friday as per the Timetable to give any drivers or pit crew the opportunity to ask questions. It also gives the Chief Steward the opportunity to introduce themselves and the other key officials. Please remember that even though the In Person Drivers Briefing is expected to be short ALL drivers, pit crew, parents/guardians and family members who will be in the pit area are required to attend, and we ask that you arrive promptly when called. So what do you need to do? Ensure you and your pit crew have read and understood the Drivers Briefing Notes. This is CRUCIAL.  If you have a driver under the age of 18 please ensure they understand the contents of the Drivers Briefing Notes. At Driver Registration you will sign to acknowledge you have read and understood the Drivers Briefing Notes. Please ask any questions you may have at the In Person Drivers Briefing on...

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL AIDKA LICENCE HOLDERS Sadly we are seeing an increase in complaints about intimidation, bullying and generally unacceptable behaviour via social media in OUR SPORT. This must stop as of now. AIDKA does have a Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy (which is in the 2022 AIDKA Rule Book). We would like to take this opportunity to ask people to familiarise themselves with the Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy. Penalties can be, and have been imposed (including a suspension for up to 3 months for the first offence) for any person deemed to be in breach. For those who have AIDKA members under 18 we encourage you have the conversation with them regarding what IS and IS NOT acceptable. Some discussion topics are listed below. Be nice. Mean behaviour is not OK. Make it clear that you expect your kids to treat others with respect, and to never post hurtful or embarrassing messages. And ask them to always tell you about any harassing or bullying messages that others post.Think twice before hitting “enter.” Remind them that what they post can be used against them. Once they hit enter their comments cannot be taken back. Follow the “WWGS?” (What Would Grandma Say?) rule. Teach kids not to share anything on social media that they wouldn’t want their teachers, parents, AIDKA Executive — and yes, grandma — to see.Use privacy settings. Privacy settings are important. Go through them together to make sure your kids understand each one. Also, explain that passwords are there to protect them against things like identity theft. They should never share them with anyone, even a boyfriend, girlfriend, or best friend.Don’t “friend” strangers. “If you don’t know them, don’t friend them.” This is a plain, simple — and safe — rule of thumb.Defriend “friends” who are harassing or bullying them. Encourage your kids to leave chats, groups or defriend people who make them feel uncomfortable or upset. Or if they feel they are being harassed or bullied. Some great information and help can be found at...

Some Strike J Pistons due to the manufacturing process can have excess material on the inside of the piston in a localised area. The Strike Factory apply some minor grinding to ensure no material dislodges when these pistons are being used for racing. This is allowable, but must be done only by the Strike Factory. No additional grinding allowed. Regards. AIDKA Technical Committee. Posted:...

The 2022 SA Dirt Kart Titles hosted by Yorke Peninsula Dirt Kart Club has now been run and won. Congratulations to all the competitors who managed to walk away with a State Plate, Trophy and Sash. It’s a tough gig out there! Weather conditions weren’t the kindest to the club but through perserverance and determination, we managed to get through to the end. Some people were smiling, some were not! A credit to the track crew who ended up giving the drivers a pearler of a track. A huge pat on the back to all the Volunteers, Stewards, Officials, Pit Crew and Drivers who ‘hung in there’ and made the event as successful as it was. Many people are unaware of the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to produce such an event. So THANK YOU to you all.
