May Rule update
Briggs and Stratton Seminar
May 4th, 2021
Fellow racers, parents and fans,We would like to extend our gratitude to all of the racers who made our first race in almost two years a success. Without all of you we would not have had such great racing and competition. We also want to thank Tri-Cities Kart Club for taking so much time to prepare a first-class facility, as well as working late into the night Saturday, to remedy a safety issue with the track.
We would like to acknowledge and apologize for a few issues that came up. We had some line up errors with the Sr. 206 class that popped up due to the extremely large field that we had. We realize that tempers flared as it was a stressful for both racers and officials. We realize the software is not able to accurately produce lineups for the methods we use. Once we realized the error, we manually gridded the fields and will continue to use this method in the future.
We also have to take this opportunity to apologize to the parents in Jr.1. We tried to make the best call at the event but in hindsight we should have taken longer to discuss it and we realize it wasn’t the right call.
Like racers though, we are always looking forward and not backwards! As the series continues to grow, we want to acknowledge when we can and will do better. After all of our races we have implemented a teleconference with all of the NWKA member tracks and officials. Following this race, we had 18 representatives and officials then that looked at all aspects of the weekend. We have another follow up call this coming week to ensure the same mistakes are not made again.
As racers ourselves, we feel that the series offers amazing value and we will always strive to do better and provide an even better product. We ask that you reach out to any of the track representatives to help contribute to be part of this process. With our next round only a few weeks away, we look forward to doing it all over again!
Sincerely,
NWKA Staff, Officials and Club Representatives.
April 12 2021 Rule Update
April 18 2021 - Our first round kicks off this weekend in Tri-C, WA. Pls review our newest rule book and updates posted. We also suggest following our FB page where all of our updates are posted regularly.
RACING UPDATE
Racing is coming back!
June 9th 2020 - We wanted to bring our racing community up to date with where we are at. We apologize if we have not been vocal enough but our hands have been tied and we have just been paying close to attention to government mandates.
Happily, our ICP community of tracks have been in communication/ discussing what the year will look like, how we will move forward and what steps to take in order to provide the best racing platform. We really haven’t have too much to report, and we always suggest reaching out to your track reps for updates.
Currently, tracks are beginning to open for practice with limited participation. A few are even moving forward with planning upcoming races which we are so happy to see. Even better, the ICP Road race series was a huge success!
What does this mean for the ICP Cup sprint series?
• Our first race will still be in Tri-Cities, WA
• We are expecting a large group at the first race, so we are doing our due diligence to host another ground breaking event like last season
• We have two remaining ICP races on the calendar, where Tri-Cities fall we will know more at the end of the month. Either July 17-19 or Aug 7-9 so highlight them on your calendar.
• We will hold off announcing any other races until after the first ICP race held in Tri-C, Washington when we have the opportunity to discuss with our racers face to face how they feel. Most importantly, numbers and entries will do the talking.
• So what that means is that we aren’t sure how late we would run in to the season, how many races we will add and so forth since we have lots to consider. The ICP Cup wants to do what we feel is best for our tracks, racers and volunteers that make this all possible.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Season postponed until further notice
Hello Racers,
We are monitoring things closely and for the time being we are postponing the first race. It is hard to say at this point when we release a new schedule.
We are relying on our fantastic medical workers to handle the situation and we will release information about the series and schedule as soon as we can.
We appreciate your patience
NWKA and supporting clubs

Dream team of Officials
Jan 24 2019 - As our entries continue to grow and will break the 100 mark very soon for our first race, we wanted to share with the racers our ‘Dream Team’ of officials. We can’t express how much we appreciate them committing to the full season since officials in any series acknowledge it is a thankless job.
It was clear last season with the In City Prints Cup unprecedented growth, we needed consistent officiating weekend in and weekend out. We feel we have addressed this for 2019 with the combined experience of Race Director - Gene Bircher, Flagman - Aaron Stanford, Pit Boss - Brittany Williams and Tech Director - Tom Martinet.
Furthermore, we have also asked that each track provides an assistant race director since it is impossible to see everything. It will also offer another set of eyes to the Flagman and Race Director.
We are excited not only about our growth, but the tireless effort from our volunteers to make this not only best series in the Northwest, the entire country.
We have some FANTASTIC series sponsors coming on board in the coming weeks so stay tuned and have a great weekend.
