Steve,
You say the current Steering Group “will carry on doing the sensible thing”
Which appears from what you say to be nothing but tinker with the new CIK regs as suits them, whoops sorry, UK karting.
Was it not you who said “cost savings” were not even on the agenda” for the last meeting?
Does not that demonstrate a deep and fundamental misunderstanding of the current global economic situation and how it will impact all sports which rely on a reasonable level of disposable income? Or indeed of what grassroots at Club karting should be about.
You in this thread have majored on the “Big Teams” and how they add cost to the sport but don’t seem to realize that these and other costs like painted helmets etc are purely optional and not by any means a requirement to go and enjoy some club racing.
The costs we all need to focus on are the non-optional costs which is why my proposals focused only on these costs and offered considerable savings.
I still believe all of my proposals are realistic and will work, but as I have said only if there is a genuine will to make them work.
For instance you again asked in this thread “what would we do with the tyres once they had been bagged and sealed?” well give them back to the competitor of course!
He/she would then bring them back to the next meeting where at scrutineering when the kart was being inspected, they would be checked, opened, re-stamped and fitted to the kart.
