TENTATIVE 2018 SCHEDULE

Below is the first-cut of the 2018 schedule. Some of the dates later in the year are

tentative as noted by an asterisk (*). But for planning purposes, Scott Klingler

and Dick Charest thought it would be a good idea to publish what we know.

(Editor’s Note: I’ve included 2017 venues with this year’s dates, but they have

not been confirmed as of the date this issue went to print.)

EDITOR’S COMMENTS BY ROLF HILL Another fabulous season. The weather was perfect at many

venues and the demonstrations were fun to watch (and be in), the

people were great, too. Plenty of “bench racing” that exemplified

my bumper sticker: “The Older I Get, The Faster I Was!”

What a surprise it was to see Pearl Gamble and Bob Hartman

wandering the pits at Camden. I talked to them briefly. Just like

the old days.

Big issue of VKA FIRSTURN© … 2018 Schedule … FOUR event summaries-

Camden, Oreville, Delmar and Cuddebackville .... Gotta keep it short. (Mark that

JULY BOARD MEETING SUMMARY BY BILL BLOODWORTH SYNOPSIS: There are 358 total members, 319 full members

and 39 associate members. The ending June balance is

$19,874.06 which reflects revenue of $1,327.04 and expenses

of $928.77. The successful Brodhead event was discussed.

Scott Klingler is assuming the Delmar event promoter duties

from Jim Thompson who is withdrawing. Scott is also working

to have the Quincy event back on the VKA schedule in 2018. Issues which were

raised at the New Castle event regarding Yamaha Limited class pipe length were

discussed. Lynn Haddock will provide sketches for posting on the VKA website.

A proposal is being developed which will address a one-inch axle class for

Yamaha karts. Preparations for future shows are on schedule. There has been a

lot of chatter regarding the upcoming Avon event. A $25 one-day pass will be

available at the Oreville event. The VKA Magazine August issue will be a single

issue and will not be combined with any other month. Concerns regarding

potential safety issues which occurred at the recent New Castle event were

discussed. It was reported that in the past this type of issue was addressed by

promoter group action. The preference was for the same avenue to be pursued for

this case.

AUG. BOARD MEETING SUMMARY BY BILL BLOODWORTH SYNOPSIS: There are 358 total members, 319 full members and 39 associate members.

The ending July balance is $20,021.73 which reflects revenue of $1,337.00 and expenses

of $1,189.33. End of year board retirements were announced including the President and

Vice-President positions. Scott Klingler plans to use the new AMA motocross scoring

system, a tighter system, at the Delmar event. Whether or not a restart is performed should

there be an incident on the start is at the discretion of the promoter according to Bill

McCornack. Tire guidelines will be updated to reflect current names. This Fall there will

be discussion regarding 1960’s era rear engine karts with foreign engines which are

historically legal. Lynn Haddock continues to work on a future guidelines proposal

involving Yamaha class karts with one-inch axles. Creation of the ability to sell VKA t-

shirts from the VKA website and from eBay was discussed. Items addressed included

having a link from the Facebook page to the website and payment method. Based on what

he observed at the Avon event, Gary Wlodarsky plans to submit show guideline revisions

to the Board at a later date. The revisions will include addition of a historic pre-1962 group.

Barry Greenzweig plans to allow one- piece wheels at the Oreville event. Availability of

info about Duffy Livingstone for inclusion in the September magazine was discussed

including the potential article being written by Frank Weir for European publication. Guest

Sal Palatucci commented about how motel and nearby restaurant personnel were unaware

of the Avon event. While there are existing promotional suggestions in the promoter’s

package furnished by VKA, Rolf Hill will look at possible revisions.


CAMDEN SUMMARY BY JEFF & SHERRI BROWN

We had 68 entries, great weather (70's and sunny). Excellent competition

and four juniors who put on a great show. The Bennett brothers put on

heck of a race between themselves in all three Heats in dual

sidewinder. Gary Wlodarsky cooked an excellent fish dinner and teamed

up with Jim (Max-Torque) Donovan. After the events at the track, some

evening activities were organized at a local watering hole.

OVKA club and the track owner Gary Gregg did a fine job preparing and

running the facility.

Overall the comments I received were positive. This is an excellent track

for all types of kart and engine combinations. If you haven't been there,

try to make it next year.

Thanks to all who came and participated. Jeff & Sherri Brown

CAMDEN SHOW BY GARY WLODARSKY

[Editor’s Note: Gary was cooking fish, so he asked me to organize the show.

With the help of Scott Klingler and Don Renton, we gotter dun. Unfortunately,

despite the big turnout for the event, only 17 karts entered the show, but there

were some spectacular entries. All the karts were grouped by their category, and

in my humble opinion, seeing all the Past Champions grouped together in the

infield made for a spectacular display of the work vintage karters have put into

their treasures. They will soon be joined by some of the other “newcomers.”

Congratulations to all.]

VINTAGE KARTING HALL OF FAME BY JEFF BROWN

The Vintage Karting Hall of Fame was started in 2009 by Jeff

Brown. Gus Traeder was the first inductee. Gus was instrumental

in helping vintage karting get started by holding the 1st vintage event

at TNT Raceway in Quincy … a track steeped in karting history.

Each year since then, a few selected karters are inducted to the

Vintage Karting Hall of Fame. The official plaque, pictured below,

is located at the New Castle Motorsports Park in Indiana.

OREVILLE SUMMARY BY KARL GINTER

urricane Irma was a nasty old hag that dealt devastation and

heavy rains across much of the southeast, but her clouds,

wind, and rain were largely dissipated, and replaced with

great weather by the time Oreville, Pennsylvania’s East

Coast Nationals opened its gates to legions of vintage karting

enthusiasts on 15-16 September. The Oreville Kart Club’s WKA Master Track

facility played perfect host to the VKA’s third-leg of the Northeast Promoter’s Cup Series.

The event netted 51 entries in Tier I and Tier II demonstrations, and a first-rate

Kart Show that boasted over 50 of the finest and rarest rear-engine and sidewinder

chassis in the country. Special thanks to Gary Wlodarsky (Ohio), and Rolf Hill

(Maryland) in assisting with the Kart Show venue, including attendees from

Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, all the VKA Northeast

members...and everyone who participated for making this a top-flight event!

Lots of vending, practice, and exhibition time characterized all-day Friday.

Saturday kicked-off with a wonderful Kart Show, followed by two practice

sessions, and then the scored Heats for each of the six scored/flagged classes in

the Promoter’s Cup Series. The evening was punctuated by a wonderful

picnic-style dinner and multiple 50/50 prize giveaways. We extend our special

thanks to VKA event promoter Barry Greenzweig for another incident-free,

safety-conscious VKA event, as well as the Oreville Kart Club event staff and

volunteers for hosting this awesome event, and look forward to the fourth and

culminating leg of the Northeast Promoter’s Cup Series at Cuddebackville,

NY on 6-7 October – we’ll see you there! Karl Ginter

DELMAR SUMMARY BY SCOTT KLINGLER

(EDITOR’S NOTE: VKA is run by volunteers, and some of the

volunteers have “day jobs.” Scott was “on the road” much of the

time between this event and the publishing deadline. Part of his

“free-time” was working on the 2018 schedule, so he didn’t have

time to provide a summary. From what I’ve gathered, it was a good

event with lots of good times and good food. Between Jim

Donovan, Jessie James, Todd Hanold, Jim & Kay Merritt, Sonny

Gerber and several others, no one went hungry. I hear the weather

and the racing were pretty good, too. The Welte’s have posted

many of the pix and videos of the event on-line.)

CUDDEBACKVILLE SUMMARY BY KARL GINTER

Unseasonably warm, Fall weather prevailed across the Poconos and nearby

Cuddebackville, New York, home to the Oakland Valley Kart Club (OVRP) and

host to the legions of vintage karting enthusiasts attending the VKA Northeast

Fall Nationals – the fourth and culminating event of the Northeast Promoter’s Cup

Series. The event netted 64 kart demonstration entries, and 36 entries in the VKA Kart Show that boasted some of the finest and rarest, historic rear-engine

chassis in the country.

Special thanks to both Rick Keller and Al Postiglione for both promoting this

event and overseeing the Promoter’s Cup Series throughout the 2017 VKA

calendar year, and a special thanks to all VKA Northeast members...and

everyone who participated for making this a top-flight event!

Lots of track time characterized the first day, followed by a fabulous kart

show, delicious evening buffet-style dinner and a flagged series of simulated

Heats under the lights – a real treat for everyone who participated! Saturday

began with a standard practice session, followed by a second practice session

where the participants were timed to determine starting position in the first Heat.

Three Heats were run without incident in each of the eight flagged events. The

day was capped-off with a 50/50 prize give-away, event award presentations, and awards for the top three finishers of the very successful 2017

Northeast Promoter’s Cup Series. Karl Ginter

SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD BY AL POSTIGLION

Paul Hunter was awarded the 2017

N.E. Series Sportsmanship Award.

When the discussion about who should

be the recipient, Paul's name was

immediately placed on the top of the

list … always a true Gentleman in the

pits and on the track. Paul is truly an

asset to our sport!

Congratulations Paul!

CLUTCH WRENCHS BY JIM DONOVAN

There are at least three ways to hold a crank on a McCulloch if you want to

tighten a starter cup nut or install or remove a clutch.

1. The factory built-in a little

hole on the back side of the

flywheel cover (fig. 1).

You can stick a small,

AMERICAN-MADE* Allen

Wrench in the hole and try

to find the notch on the

back of the flywheel. Over

time, this can ruin the

flywheel cover or the notch

on the flywheel.

2. Many vintage karts have

invested in a flywheel

wrench. (fig. 2). It fits over

the flywheel fins and

allows easy access to both

the flywheel nut and the

PTO side of the crank.

3. The third option is a

simple, inexpensive tool

you can make yourself. For the

“inboard” type Max-Torque clutch, a

12” piece of ½” square tubing works

nicely. First, drill a ¼” hole at least ⅜”

from the end of the tubing. Insert a 1”

by ¼”- 20 cap screw (i.e., Allen bolt)

and tighten with ¼” – 20 nut, as shown

in fig. 3. Drill a second hole 1.175”

from the center of the first. (Double

check this measurement against the

holes on the clutch drive plate.) [The

idea is for the heads of the two bolts to

fit in two adjacent holes on the clutch

drive plate (see fig.4).] * “American Made” because cheap Allen wrenches might

break.

fig.1

fig.2

fig.3


The head of the Allen bolt is a perfect size to go

into the holes on the clutch drive plate without

hitting the springs and it will work on both types

of drive plates (inboard or outboard). It will

also work on the drive plate with elongated

holes.

For an outboard clutch, use a thin (at least 1/8”)

piece of metal. Drill the two, 0.201” holes (#7

bit) the same distance apart. You won’t need

¼” nuts, because once you screw-in the bolts,

you will have to grind-off the ends so they fit between the clutch drive

plate and the PTO side of the engine.

Good luck and safe karting.

Oh, if you are at Bushnell, I plan on making three as examples, so you see what

they look like. If you purchase a 2018 Vintage Karting Wall Calendar, I might

give you one of the examples.
