Alan, you cannot seriously expect me, of all people, to have any sympathy with the opposition to the banning of chassis protectors! MSA - "Why do you want chassis protectors?" Karters - "So that when we try to lap faster by going off the track we don't wreck our chassis!" Come on, get real!! What you are proposing will fragment the sport even more than it already is. We need to have one set of common rules and classes, so that karters can enter for any msa event and be able to race without changing their equipment. I don't believe that the best interests of this sport would be served by the Karters themselves setting all of the rules, they are unable to look at the subject logically and objectively. Karting may have started without the MSA (RAC as was), but they quickly assumed control and took the sport through the best period in its history, only to have it de-railed by others (the kart trade back then) trying to change things for greater personal gain. Mob rule isn't the answer. Perhaps some more formal & permanent means for karters to let the MSA know their views, and perhaps some referenda on some of those views would a good step.
