One thing is for sure, Cadet dads are the same in every country, in every language.
Chill for a minute and get to reality. It is cadet. That being said, below are a few facts to keep handy on your laptop.

Different countries have different rules. Canada is not the same as the US. UK is not the same as Europe or the US or Asia.
Racers must follow the rules of the ASN in the country they are racing, as there is no consistency to rules. For example:
WSK requires KF3 drivers to be 13 in WSK Euro. In WKS North America a driver can be 11.

What about the 13+ year olds in cadet racing with 8 year olds. Wouldn't you say that this is a bit of cherry picking for a win?
You are complaining about an 11 year old with ONE Junior race in the US. And the problem is.......he won? And now he has an unfair advantage in cadet? Lets see you try to drive a kart that goes 75mph then a cadet that is half of that. It is a major adjustment with no advantage.

There is also one of our Canadian kids racing in the Super One UK this year and his lives in Canada. He has raced many classes on the club level. So he is also not qualified? The American is/has moved to England. Both are home schooled. Where is the MSA rules does it mention anything about school?

The FWT is not a sanctioned event and does not follow any rules except the rules that the promoter decides to make. The American ran a Junior class that only exists in the US and is not a CIK class. The age is also 11-16.
The American also races cadet, HPV and Yamaha in the US under the US ASN rules and regulations.

11 signatures to prove competency? Have you read the Americans race history? The MSA has other ways to prove a driver is competent.

The Canadian and the US kids will certainly follow the MSA rules. Read the MSA foreign National rules and guidelines.
If the kids ran in the back of the grid I am sure most of the cadet dads would be elated to be in front of the kids. When the tables are turned and the US kid can run out front and contend for a Championship, then he is not welcome.

Many Americans have raced in the UK over the years but with little success. At the end of the day it is a kids kart race which is intended to be fun.

I can only suggest the whining dads talk with their sons and daughters and ask their feelings about racing against kids from other countries. I bet they all would enjoy the challenge and the chance to make friends around the globe.

Consider it a compliment when racers want to race with you and let kids be kids.
