I have to agree with Scot Scott Abercrombie's & JCC’s comments on the buy-back scheme.
I don’t understand the obsession with power, yes it helps, but more time can be gained with set-up & tyres (tyres another contentious point). Recently did an EPEC with new 2-hour-old engines (rated at RPM 5.3), had a very good set-up, only club-level drivers & was running an easy 3rd till a mechanical took us out (not engines).
This started not about SP’s or not, but about the new Honda GX160 engine. I am sure someone will back-to-back the new engine with old ones, then we will have some understanding of the expected out-put & how this will affect prokarts racing in the coming season.

Seems to me like Kelvin Nicholls has his work cut out, can’t please all of them all of the time, good luck!!
