Please don't take offence but this is how I see it.

I think you overstepped the good sportsmanship as soon as you spoke to the scrutineer when the final had finished.

You were happy enough for your son to race against this competitor before the final started so you should have been happy enough to accept the result. The exhaust overhanging is not enough to warrant the complaint you made and if you were a good sporting person you would not have made those remarks, you should have left it to the scrutineer to deal with it, but you didn't you told the scrutineer and THEN you were not happy with just informing him of the problem you effectively FORCED him to change his view on how it should be dealt with.

To put it bluntly you were the one who got this lad disqualified, nobody else, and as you already new about the pods you got him disqualified for an exhaust overhang, which is hardly the biggest safety issue, is it?

And I feel you are making up an excuse to ease your conscience when you mention about the disc protector. We all were happy to race without one last year; do you really think that not having a disc protector is putting your son in danger?

Don't forget we race to see who is the quickest and best racer on the track and that driver won the race. The rules that were broken didn't give this racer any advantage and personally I don't think were of any major concern on the safety issues.

What's done is done and you didn't do anything wrong, it just wasn't very sporting of you IMO. What would have been sporting though would have been to give the winners trophy to the one who really won the race, that would have been sporting.

Personally though I wouldn't worry about it any further. Nobody else will, the lad who won the race will have a brand new kart next month so I don't think he'll be worried about it.

Good luck with the scrut at the next race ; )

Chris.
