SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY REMINDER

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY REMINDER

May 12, 2024

LETS TALK ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AGAIN! We have received complaints about intimidation, bullying and generally unacceptable behavior via social media in OUR SPORT. This must stop as of NOW. Again, we are taking this opportunity to remind ALL AIDKA LICENCE HOLDERS that AIDKA do have a Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy (which is in the 2024 AIDKA Rule Book). Familiarise YOURSELF with the Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy. Penalties can be and have been imposed (including licence suspensions) for any person deemed to be in breach. Members need to think about what they type/post, and the potential impacts on other people before hitting send. Sometimes what you think is a funny off the cuff comment can be damaging. Parents/Guardians of AIDKA members under 18, please have the conversation with them regarding what IS and IS NOT acceptable as well as the potential ramifications of their comments/posts. Some discussion topics are listed below. These have been shared before, however are great discussion starting points. ** 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...

2024 AIDKA Fees

2024 AIDKA Fees

Dec 18, 2023

Dear Members, At the AIDKA AGM held Friday 8th December 2023, the fees for the 2024 season where reviewed and as a result unfortunately there have been some increases. The attached document lists the updated fees, with the changes highlighted. AIDKA LIST OF FEES Effective 1st February 2024Download However, we will just touch on a few points below: After 5 years without having changes the licence fees unfortunately this year the licences have increased. Every effort has been made to keep this increase to a minimum, however it has been unavoidable. Casual Pit Passes have increased to $10 per pass/day. AIDKA will retain the full $10 per pass and will invoice each club as we currently do. AIDKA will be providing wrist bands to each club for the Casual Pit Passes, and these will be issued before the start of the season. For those pit crews who regularly attend meetings and purchase a Casual Pit Pass, we encourage you to look at purchasing a Pit Crew Licence.  The Maximum Title Nomination Fee has been increased so that the AIDKA Levy can be increased from $30 to $45. This was proposed by one of the Clubs to offset the titles expense to AIDKA. Finally, a new fee has been introduced “AIDKA Nomination Levy” this is a $3 levy on all club event nominations (including Education Days). The purpose of this levy is to reduce a larger increase in the licensing fees. By introducing this levy the cost can be spread across a race season rather than at the time of licence purchase/renewal. Whilst every effort has been made to keep the fee increases to a minimum (including a review of expenditure) unfortunately as an association we have had no alternative but to increase fees. Please note 2024 Licence will not be available for purchase until the 1st January 2024. Also please be mindful that your club has to approve the licence their end and have paid their annual Club Affiliation Fees before any licences are validated at AIDKA’s end. We look forward to seeing everyone trackside in 2024. AIDKA...

Fuel & Oil Rule Change Effective 1st September 2023

Fuel & Oil Rule Change Effective 1st September 2023

Jul 3, 2023

Recently AIDKA have undertaken a review of our fuel rules which included conducting a survey of what fuel and oils members are using.   After the AIDKA Survey results were analysed, 22 oils have been tested with PULP, VP C9 and PowerPlus at all different ratios to get a current data base. From these results the Fuel Committee, along with the AIDKA Technical Committee have proposed we control oils available for use in AIDKA to a list of 22 oils and have an option for others to be introduced or some eliminated if our data shows from testing that it is not being used readily. This will help control fuel and oils within the sport. Amongst the testing and analysis, we have found that PowerPlus contains ethanol and is illegal for our sport. The readings are extremely different to the other 2 options of fuel available. At the June 2023 Council Meeting it was passed that the below rule changes be implemented effective as of 1st September 2023. This includes banning PowerPlus. Please note that PowerPlus cannot be used at any title event prior to this date, but only club meetings.

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.

AIDKA Code of Conduct & Social Media reminder

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...

Nov 29, 2024

The 2024 Australian Dirt Kart Titles hosted by Lucindale Karting Club have now been run and won. Mother Nature certainly threw plenty of challenges our way throughout the entire event. CONGRATULATIONS to the Lucindale Karting Club for a very well organised meeting. A huge THANK YOU to all the officials and volunteers! We appreciate the time and effort you put into running this event! Simply put, we cannot run these events without you. SPECIAL MENTION must go to the Lucindale Karting Club Track Crew for all their hard work and efforts with the track.  CONGRATULATIONS to all the competitors especially those who manage to be standing on the podium at the completion of the weekend. AIDKA would like to acknowledge some of the provisional placings awarded on the Ingrid at the 2024 Australian Dirt Kart Titles were made in error, where some competitors tied on overall points. This affected the Outlaws, KT Mediums, Junior Lights, 125 Lights, KT Heavy and 200 Open classes. The results were reviewed, and then placed on the results board at the event. Therefore the placings supplied and read out at presentations were correct. However, as some drivers where not advised of the corrected placings prior, we acknowledge this caused some angst on the podium. AIDKA is deeply sorry for the events that took place and the upset the awarding of incorrect placings has caused. AIDKA is aware of the distress this has brought upon those affected and the impact on our sport. This is something AIDKA does not take lightly. AIDKA is committed to making the necessary changes to prevent similar issues in the future. Our apologies for the delay in publishing the Final Results.
