I must admit, I am quite confused about the clutch situation, because as per the below statment on the ABKC website (see below), grease etc found in the clutch drum is not enough to DSQ a driver!!

I honestly reckon they should let everyone do it, then no one will have a disadvantage!!

I was in Snr Max at Kimbolton and they had 31 karts to check before our race... it was not well organised at all! They should have stood at the edge of the grid and not let the karts onto the grid until checked.

"BRP Powertrain advise that as the needle bearing for the clutch drum must be lubricated by use of grease (according to the service manual), it cannot be avoided that some grease may get into the clutch drum and onto the clutch element. The existence of oil or grease at the inside of the clutch drum, or on the clutch element, is not in itself a reason for technical disqualification. They state that oil or grease inside the centrifugal clutch will not result in any technical advantage or in an improved lap time: Issued 20.3.09"
