Welcome to KC Pro West. It is our sincere desire to make getting into this sport as easy as possible. I
am going to go over a few things that you need to know and try to make this easier.

First, for your child to compete he or she will need some essential things to satisfy our rules and regulations.
KC Pro West strongly encourages all drivers to source helmets that continue to display High Vis Colors/International Orange.

At least one hundred forty-four (144) square inches of visible area on both the driver’s front and back (upper body) will be blaze orange in color. We will have some orange vests on hand if this is your first race, these will be first come first serve.

Shin guards/knee guards, most people wear something that is a hard plastic shell with soft cushion
underneath. Over or under the snow pants are fine.
Eye protection is mandatory.
A chest protector is also mandatory, we have these in the race trailer to rent or buy. Your first weekend
will also be free to use, but supply is limited to what we have on hand.
A mouth guard is strongly encouraged

You will need visible numbers on both sides of your child’s snowmobile. In a contrasting color. There
are number plates available in the race trailer, but if this is your first weekend, we can make do with
something extremely visible on each side of the tunnel of the snowmobile.

Registration for races: All registrations for races need to be entered into the trackside website by the Wednesday before the race to avoid a $20 late fee. Each racer will need their own login, I know this is frustrating to have to do for those of you with multiple racers, but it is our best option at this time. By registering on Trackside by Wednesday before the race, this helps us set our lineups and helps the ladies in the scoring trailer be prepared. Everyone coming to the trailer the morning of the race to register is asked to stop in between 7:30 – 8:30am to register with the ladies in the trailer, we will not be accepting registrations after 9 AM so the scoring girls have time to finalize the lineups and have them posted before the drivers meeting. Remember, you will be charged a $20 late fee per registration day.

You are encouraged to come to the track the first time no later than 8:30 am. Come to the club trailer that
has “KC Pro West” stickers and is normally lined up with the start/finish line. When you get there go
inside and let the scoring attendants know you are new with a new rider. Our plan is to give you a
racing buddy for the weekend, this will be someone involved in our organization. They will help you
understand what is going on for the day/weekend and will help make sure you know how our club does
things. They will also determine what class is best suited for your child. Part of this will be determined
by whether or not your sled has had the governor removed. Also, your child’s riding ability will come
into play.

There will be a driver meeting at 9:30am. And all drivers and parents should attend. The flag man will ask If there are any new drivers and then explain the procedure to you and your child.

When you your child falls in love with the sport:
There is a non-mandatory membership to KC Pro West, but it gets you a yearbook, a free t-shirt, and
discounts at registration. Plus, access to the year-end banquet, a year end trophy for any child who races
3 or more days and voting rights at club meetings.

Your child will also need to register on Trackside. This is how we login to register for the next race. Registration for each week will be done by 10:00 pm on Thursday.
