IMPORTANT - AMKA 2026 season information

Hello Teams,

The 2026 season is almost upon us. Here are some things that have been posted, some new information and some things to watch for:

NEW

CKNA SCALE RULES

Be aware that, starting this season, we will be implementing this CKNA rule set.

SCALES CONDUCT (Yellow and Red Cards)
Confrontations at the scales will not be tolerated. An AMKA/CKNA official will be stationed in the scale line all weekend to enforce our conduct policies. To simplify this, we are implementing a cut and dry system utilizing Yellow and Red cards.
If for whatever reason our official believes you are violating or about to violate our conduct policy (ex. arguing in the scales with other competitors) they will issue you either a yellow card or a red card.
- Yellow card is your first and only warning. No penalty has been assessed yet, but it is time to stop whatever you are doing.
- Red card means you have stepped over the line. You are in violation of the CKNA conduct policy and have been excluded from the next session in that class.
- There will be no discussion or review of a red card penalty in the scale line. The decision is made and is final.
- If the behavior continues after the red card is issued, you will be escorted off of the property.

THINGS TO WATCH FOR:

2026 Practice schedule and package prices

AMKA will be looking after the practice sessions this season (track rental, insurance and overseeing). We have requested 17 dates between April and October for practices. We are waiting for confirmation from Kartbahn.

There will be information provided on practice pricing in the coming few days. 

Driver Training and Mentorship

We will be releasing a proposal to the teams in the coming days that will outline a program that aims to pair interested drivers with a coach/mentor. There will be no cost to this as it will rely on volunteers. 

Please keep watching for updates and information over the coming weeks.

Any questions, contact: directors@amka.ca

IMPORTANT-CKNA HELMET RULE CHANGE 

CKNA has recently declared that Snell M2015 helmets can no longer be used starting this season. If you have one, you will NOT be allowed to run any AMKA/CKNA events with it. 

Those with Snell SA2015 and K2015 helmets can continue to use those this season. All Snell approved SA2020, M2020 and K2020 are legal.

Please check your helmets BEFORE the start of the season.

Let us know if you have any questions.
