Yes is the answer, I have been in touch with Martin (UK Karting) he has promised to email me again later this week, I understand they are in the process of moving office so have asked me to bear with them.

As far as the MSA go, I have emailed them (no reply..) and therefore will be contacting John Ryan by telephone this evening. I am devoting as much personal time to this as possible, but with a very busy day job it isn't always easy, so please bear with me. I have also contacted various other people for advice and assistance, they have been very helpful on the matter. More later on that..

Personally, I feel that it would be far more constructive to approach the MSA and Zip with our findings backed with the strong petition, in a conciliatory way in a bid to work with them.

I am told that the MSA are asking for evidence, and this makes me ask the question, surely they must have documented evidence from their own MSA Officials in their reports following any accident which are mandatory to be made. What about RIDDOR Reports etc? Maybe some of these accidents have occured on test days rather than at MSA governed meetings, but I would expect that Circuit Owners are also duty bound to file Health & Safety Reports also? Is it the case that these reports are not comprehensive enough to give a detailed description of circumstances invovled in the accident, if not, they should be!

In everyday life if something is unsafe, statistics are always gathered, investigations done and steps to avoid reoccurance made, products are recalled or replaced at the manufacturer's cost and if there is a regulatory body banned from sale.
The MSA may withdraw any product at any time on the grounds of safety, why then, if this front fairing is the common denominator in these accidents has it not been banned? We can't use our children as crash test dummies in order to give the MSA more evidence, work with us and we will work with you!
