Jon, First let me say I am glad to hear you say “I have been involved enthusiastically and actively in motorsport most of my life and I intend to stay in karting” and that you acknowledge that ‘expressing a view’ is the point of this forum.

In your first post you said “People will only be beaten so many times by a cheat that goes unpunished. They may moan initially, they may complain once, but if it becomes the only way to be competitive, eventually they will do it too.”

Then please don’t get the hump at me expressing my view that you should get out of the sport now if you really believe what you said. The flaw in what you say is the “cheat that goes unpunished” if a cheat is found then they will be punished, if you know someone is cheating then tell the officials and they will be punished – simple!, we all race under the same rules.

However with all of that said it turns out that you don’t really mean what you said in your first post which is great, the danger in what you say is all too common in the paddock when karters are beaten by a faster driver and kart package. Let me give you an example, last weekend we raced for our club at Whilton Mill in the Ace and King of Clubs, in the final which was wet, our last lap was 1.4 secs quicker than anybody else in the race, now given that we were racing against good drivers then how is that possible? Many in the paddock would answer he was cheating, because no one is that much faster than my driver! The real answer was that I did not have the time to change to wet gearing at the start of the race and the track was drying throughout the race so come the last lap we were the only ones with the gearing to match the conditions.
