"Why doesn't someone from (preferably) the MSA or ABkC make a post on here giving a link "

You have already given the reason. If you aren't interested enough to go once a week or once a month to the MSA website, then you are simply going to skip'another boring post about regulation changes".

Then you will want the MSA to text you whenever a new rule change comes out, and keep your profile so that they can text you again saying that "this reg may affect you". All of which costs extra time and money , just because you cannot be bothered to look at their page. (I think it's RSS'd as well so you can use Google Pipes to set up your own filter)

"but why has no one from the MSA actually bothered to EXPLAIN to us why it is needed?"

I'm guessing that the answer seemed so obvious that no-one thought it would need explaining. It isn't going to do Karting any good if people start dying on track. If, like squash, we had a handful of deaths every year of middle aged player, there'd be papers demanding that a much tougher regime.

It is simple social responsibility to say "if you are going to race, you need to know whether you are a medical risk". I agree that the amount of money charged by one's GP is excessive, but that isn't the MSA's fault.

Quite often they do seem to have done, In the green paper I raised the fact that no-one knew what the 'insurance' entailed. A while later it appeared on teh website. (No I didn't take a copy but it was more about covering the staff on the track, marshal's etc, not drivers' compensation).

The other thing to remember is that karting is the smaller brother of most of the motorsports. if it takes 2 weeks to get the 'Karting FAQ' page up and a day a month to keep it up to date....who pays?

Would you be complaining if the MSA fees went up to cover it?
