Please do not get overwhelmed by the amount of information available on this page. As F100 has matured we have found it necessary to provide very thorough explanations to our racers to ensure that our racing is as fast, fun and competitive as possible. If you have been racing with F100 for some time there is a good chance you already know all of this information, but if you are new to F100 please have a look below to see if any of this information is useful for you.
Please see below for a list of highlights and links to important information for the 2016 season:
- RAIN - If there is a chance of rain, please keep an eye on the Blue Max Kart Club Facebook page for updates:

- F100 Class Name Explanation - Pick the F100 class that is right for you!

- KT100 with HPV3 or RLV3 pipe is legal for use in the FK1 Masters class at 340 lbs
- Important Note About All Classes
All engine packages and exhaust pipes listed under a class are legal for use in that class regardless of whether or not you are the only one with that specific combination on race day. Do not feel the need to change your exhaust pipe or engine package on race day because you are the only one with that specific package. The rules are written in a way so that everything listed as legal under a class is equalized. Race what you have, especially in the FC1, FJ2 and FK2 classes. For example, please do not feel that you need to change from a 4 pipe to a 3 pipe if you can't make the 3 pipe minimum weight just because no one else in the class has a 4 pipe. Run what you have and what works best for you - so long as it's listed in the rules it is legal for you to use and performance is equal on track.

- F100 NorCal tire rule clarification
Racers in level 2 classes are allowed to run any tire that appears on the approved tire list in the F100 NorCal Rule Supplement. Racers in Level 1 classes are allowed to run NEW OR USED Maxxis SLR or MG Red tires, as well as USED Bridgestone YLC, Evinco Blue ("H"), Vega FH ("Blue") or Hoosier R60 tires. All tire size rules are listed in the class structure.
Maxxis SLR tires are available from Goldspeed as well as select local F100 supporting shops. To order your tires directly from Goldspeed, please see the following link. Shipping charges and additional fees may apply:
- F100 Junior Tire Size Rule
For the FJ1 class, 7.10 rear tires are the only size allowed. For the FJ2 class, 7.10 AND 6.0 rear tires are allowed.
- F100 Custom Number Panels

- Racing in Multiple F100 Classes on Race Day
This is only allowed for some classes. A good rule of thumb is that if the two classes use the same engine then you can't race in both. This is done to maintain the integrity of the license ladder system. F100 does not want Level 1 racers winning everything in Level 2 classes or Level 2 racers getting discouraged in Level 1 classes. IF the two classes run different engines, such as FK125 and FK1, then you can race in those two classes. The fee for a second class entry is half the normal price. ALSO, racers cannot race in a Level 2 class and a Level 1 class on the same race day.
