number. If you win the race using a borrowed kart to race for your kart points you must wear the winner's weight
on your kart for the next race at that track. If you are injured in a wreck and someone will race for your points in
their kart, they will be giving up their points for the race. If they win in their kart for your points, you must wear
the winners weight at the next race at that track.
Wild-Card drivers:
If you can't make a race and allow someone who does not own a kart in the series to race your kart for their own
points in the series, they get the points for their own personal number. You get NO points for that race. If they win in
your kart 1 week and race a different kart the next time at that track, the winner's weight transfers with them.
