The speed at which the 2024 Spring Nationals hit our original class caps was nothing short of astonishing. In the history of CKNA, we have never had such a response to a race. Unfortunately, that means that many racers that wanted to race the event we’re left out. As of this morning, we have 68 racers sitting on waiting lists! But thanks to the speed at which you all got your registrations in, we had time to adjust… and we have in a BIG WAY!

On the schedule, you will see that we are not able to begin on track activities until 10am each day because of local restrictions. Thankfully, the new Hybrid format for 2023 we demoed a few times last year allows us to still get in very similar amount of track time! For those of you that didn’t attend an event that used the new format in 2022, here’s the rundown: Saturday is still the same Qualifying, 2 Heats and Feature for mat we have used for years. On Sunday, 

CKNA moves to ensure that the level playing field continues: We have just released the supplemental rules and full timeline for the 2023 edition of the Spring Nationals at Charlotte Motor Speedway.You can download these either from the Spring Nationals Event page, or by clicking on the event on our online schedule. In the supplemental rules, you will find a passage regarding a new “Camshaft Intake Lobe Centerline” requirement that we will begin enforcing at Spring Nationals. As many of you may already know, social media blew up a few months ago regarding claims that some competitors and “engine tuners” had discovered a way to “twist” the camshaft inside the engines without breaking the seals.
