We thought it would be handy to have a register of race numbers for UK cycleKarts.  You can claim a number when you've got a CK you can drive (doesn't have to be finished).
* indicates cyclekart is under construction

Is the rule that it must be driveable first set in stone? Mine is now under construction and ideally I'd like 56. I suppose if anyone else wants that number, I'd better get on with the build and get on the track first?

But to be clear, is everyone else who is reserving a number doing it after it is known that their karts are driveable?
I don't want to bore you all with the details, here. But if you are interested, have a look at my blog https://peteskart.blogspot.com/

It's a very vague and loose rule.   I'll put you down for number 56.

Hi, as posted on the Facebook page my CK (1936 Austin 7 twin-cam) called Jane is now up and running.  I have just posted my membership application and will be attending Sywell. If it's allowed to have a mix of numbers and letters please could I have 7A.  Thanks, Ian Fletcher.

Forgot to give the reason for  number 7A,. Austin 7 = 7A. Also cars n Team events cars were identified by the team number and  individual cars in the team by letters. Raced in some great team events (Birkett 6 hour relay and MGCC Heritage relay as car A

Re: Race Number Register - Missing cyclekarts

I've just been updating the Race Number Register and it's great how many have moved from "under construction" to running.

We know it's not conventional to have fixed numbers and even duplicates, but its the nearest we've got to a register of cyclekarts in GB and a race number is generally a lot easier to see than a chassis number  (we've not forgotten about chassis numbers though!).

I notice there's a few cyclekarts under construction and even some completed ones that aren't on the register, so it would be great to have the information to be able to get it fully up to date.

thanks

Good Morning Stefan,
Sorry I dropped out of the Builders meeting early last week.  We had a power cut in the hotel and I lost my connection.  Enjoyed it while it lasted though.
Back home now and getting stuck in with the final details ( wish it was a bit warmer though ).  Is number 34 available ?  If so could I reserve it please ?

Glynn I've added 34 to the list.  Is there a story behind you choosing 34?

No, I'm afraid it's just a random choice.

Can I suggest the Club issues a registration plate (which could be attached to the chassis) showing the "registration" number issued by/recorded by the Club? Maybe also record the registration (or build) date and the make/model of the inspiration car? No more than that though otherwise the plate could become too big. Racing numbers could also be recorded on the Club data base but it would resolve any rush to "baggsie" a racing number.

Simple custom made plates with blank spaces for stamping the data can be obtained from many sources eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281997433271?var=580954737081&hash=item41a85b59b7:g:J6UAAOSw4shX--~G&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8G2ekCzckKxhoP4uwG8%2FA%2BjywGXdY1m3IV9T40wSIDLf7BeUPhtEm2N3ozW0KEcZ50gv3OVlUZxBWpvo7aKD0i5SQ%2FBf8WptR5OuVXYW6%2F1fXIx0czbYIpOJg4J42QQl0MecAuAsBa7xxhUgnFbwwnZNEp9%2F0%2Bk%2Fga6d%2F0My5%2FtkpHgMH9xVBSdPbWQCiB%2B1D%2Fy4uOy5bdI3%2BcI2n6%2FvdzlhR4A6VLIitjfsLX71t95RXNVSAkcQij3ZTRIjt6j9tGDTgs2tRajemAYfXjiz%2B22EZEGT3LvAZ7xBosiPn61%2BH9rwskiWuQduV4CG1TStMQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR86P25CgYg

NB - is there any way of compressing a link like this into one word "button"?

Max

This was discussed as an alternative to membership cards at the last committee meeting, I have been looking at a couple of different suppliers that can produce plates that rivet on so hopefully we will have something available soon.

As Mark says, we are looking at chassis numbers.   It’s also worth saying, that we can have more than one cyclekart with the same race number.   The number is a reflection of the inspiration car and/or builder.   Obviously, having this list allows people to avoid number clashes if they’re considering different options.
