How to become a licensed member of the Unlimited All-Stars
Unlimited All-Stars karts are among the highest powered competition karts anywhere, especially on small dirts tracks and to be safely operated must be driven by drivers with an advanced level of skill and a committment to the highest standards of sportsmanship. The Unlimited All-Stars is not an entry level class. Membership is not required for the Sportsman Unlimited All-Stars for 2008.

1.Read and understand and agree to abide by the rules and policies of the Unlimited All-Stars, especially the following excerpts;
8. Driver Eligibility
A. Drivers must be at least 18 years old. (Please note, in 2007 there are some 16 years olds who will be permitted to compete under special circumstances. Those drivers have already been identified. Drivers who started to race with the UAS in 2007 and will be 17 in 2008 may also contnue to participate.)
B.

D. Drivers who blatantly do not comply with these rules and policies are subject to suspension from all UAS events, in all regions, during the time of suspension.
The regional administrator who suspends a driver is to e-mail all of the other regional administrators informing them of whom the suspended driver is and the length of the suspension.
All regional administrators are to enforce the suspension.

Note to Competitors
The Unlimited All-Stars is intended to be a gentlemen’s series and all drivers and crew members are expected to act accordingly. If you can’t or won’t drive and act in a professional manner, then race in another division. We don’t necessarily want the most drivers, but we do want the best. Please give your competitors room to race. Respect the other drivers; they have a lot invested too. Rough driving, foul language, and unsportsmanlike conduct are not appreciated. Officials are requested to be especially firm with the Unlimited All-Stars. Remember, a lot of kids look up to YOU.
Spirit and Intent
The Unlimited All-Stars was created to preserve and promote open class kart racing. Innovation is allowed and encouraged. These rules were created to provide parameters for the purpose of safety, and consistency from track to track and region to region. Generally speaking, if a rule does not specifically state that something is not permitted, then it can be assumed that it is permitted. Series administrators are personally involved with the series/circuit in their region and will monitor the effect of new technology as it is created. Any rule adjustments that become necessary to maintain a level playing field due to the introduction of new technology will go into effect the following year.
