You may be making a simple 'counting' mistake, here.

Your quotation mentions 'A wheel'... i.e., ONE wheel.

The earlier quotation from the blue book mentions 'TWO wheels'.

The problem at Rye is neither of these: there is a section of Rye where it is 'normal' (for cheats!) to drive with all FOUR wheels on the kerb as it's a ludicrously wide 'kerb'!

The management of Rye have known about this problem for YEARS (and I do, literally, mean YEARS).

My oiew is simple, there's no point in HAVING a rule if it's not enforced. If we intend to allow 'kerb driving' then make it LEGAL..... and wait for the first accident caused by kerb driving (e.g., hitting a broken piece of kerb and 'flipping' into a serious accident) which WILL occur, someday. Basically, 'sh*t happens!'.

Then watch the behaviour of the only SLIGHTLY clever insurance company refusing to pay out on an injury claim made against the 'track' as the officials ALLOWED drivers, every day, to race OUTSIDE the marked track area. Remember, the insurance certificate will say 'racing ON the track' or will rely on the wording in our Blue book which BANS even ONE wheel on the kerb! By definition, the kerbs are OUTSIDE the white lines and are thus NOT part of the race track! The club/track owners will then be stuck with an ENORMOUS injury bill for which they WON'T be insured!

This is a disaster that's just waiting to happen! It W*I*L*L happen because 'sh*t happens' and insurance companies are NOT stupid! If they spot a loop-hole, they'll get THROUGH it! This isn't a small 'loop hole' .... it's a GAPING TUNNEL!

If tracks/owners/clubs think I am WRTONG about this.... prove it.... just write to your insurance companies and TELL them you allow karts to race OUTSIDE the white lines! If I am WRONG, then you won't have to worry because you will be right and you WILL be covered. However.... what's the betting you are thinking... 'I'd be daft to WARN them that I allow racing OUTSIDE the confines of the track....'?

Q.E.D.!
