I don't see that there needs to be any distinction between MSA and non-MSA for a test day. I don't recall having to have a license to test but if I had to choose I think I would have preferred to test with just 8 other karts than having no track space.

For testing certainly regulations don't necessarily have to be enforced (but why anyone would want to test with the wrong tyre or under weight escapes me) but come race day there surely has to be something to equalise the "formula" otherwise it isn't a race. Don't get me wrong if all you want to do is thrash around a track and be quicker than your mates because you have found a better tyre or are lighter than they are then fine - have fun but that isn't racing in my book and there are facilities that accommodate these days (and I started at one). Otherwise there will simply be an unfair advantage and whether that be weight, tyres, the money to have an open engine tunes (or indeed the skill do do this yourself) and the race meeting would again become a run out for a play.

As I have said before there are many non-MSA events that successfully run to the basic principal of regulations set by the MSA (or modified to suit what the members' believe they require for the race series to be a success) complete with MSA officials and scrutineers. Some has medical cover, others don't but this is reflected in the entry fee which does not, however, include a levy to the MSA to keep there offices and officials in London warm and dry, Monday to Friday!

All of this is conjecture at the moment as it is down to the management team at 3 Sisters to run what they believe will be both profitable and successful event. Thereafter we can decide if this is something that is of interest and we wish to participate in.
