since April 2009 attending approx 2 meetings a month i have seen cadet carts flip / barrel roll at the following tracks.

Rye House
Beccles F6
Clay pigeon

Also on one occaision my son was picked up from the side by a zip lifting him up in the air and causing steering damage to the zip as my sons kart bent the steering wheel of the zip.

I can not confirm all zip nose cones but the as the thread suggests there is more than a common theme here !!

The flattened nose cone is used in close racing to lift (slightly) the back end of an opponents karts making them lose grip and line allowing an overtaking move. Almost invisible to the observer..

To those who do not race cadets does the frequency of flips in cadets match those experienced in senior classes ??
