The reality is though that in any recession not all customers can afford what they used to be able to and a good seller wouldn't sell it them, they'd steer them to a product they can afford and that's the real rub, we don't have in place a class that is starter level pricing any more. We can try and save a couple of quid here and there with the existing classes but in reality not enough! I've been banging the drum now that we need a starter level class and I guess we'll only wake up to this fact when Club 100 and EasyKart thrive through the hard times with our ex members and we struggle! Tryo could be the answer but the MSA need to lift some of the restrictions and allow for Cadets too.I suspect whatever move is made now will be too little too late and without Pro Kart to save us like it did in the last recession the face of karting will change dramatically over the next 2 or 3 years.

I think some of your suggestions have potential John but I do think it a crying shame you didn't present them to the ABkC agm!

Max has stated the bloody obvious ie F1 is too expensive, but notice he offers no real solutions to the problem either!
