Just as a thought....
By making it an Open meeting ( allowing anyone to take part) you would automatically make it a National A meeting.
This requires a different Track Licence, different fees and I think different medical arrangements as well as excluding anyone on a National B licence. Think the difference between a Superone meeting and a Clubbie.
Then you are adding in a championship event, trying to include a nationally recognised number, which other championships have had to pay for.
So it is understandable if the authorities look at it and say if everyone else have to comply with a set of rules by last September, why should everything change because you feel it might be a good idea to bypass all the rules.
In addition, I don't know whether the BKDA is a recognised authority capable of sponsoring a "0" plate.
If the answer to all of these is still 'no' then there is a further risk that the MSA would have to consider whether to pull the licience of the club or teh various drivers for knowingly taking part in an illegal event being held during an MSA meeting.
This isn't a case of the MSA being killjoy, the rules have been put in place for apparently good reasons and 'we' the drivers, require the MSA to enforce them (otherwise we would have stood for election tothe various committees or made formal proposals to change them, such as setting up a local class with exemptions). Which other rules would you like to circumvent just because you feel like it. Fully tuned engines because you can't be bothered to play by the rules, using an Aixro 50 in a Rotax Max race because it would give you an edge?
Tt doesn't surprise me that you would make this proposal, but it is actually a very bad one for karting as a whole.
