Alex....

Your wording is strange....

Of course there are Owner-Driver 2 stroke classes: that's what TKM Extreme and Rotax Max are!

Club 100 and D-Max are (effectively) de-tuned versions of TKM Extreme and Rotax Max.

The last part of your fist sentence seems confused about 'Arrive and Drive' or it may just be badly worded. For clarity:-

* 'Arrive and Drive' usually refers to Karts which you hire (and thus don't own) from the place where you want to race.

* 'Owner Driver' refers to karts which are driven by their owners and thus, will NOT be hired.

D-Max and Club 100 are examples of 'Arrive and Drive'

TKM Extreme and Rotax Max are (usually) Owner-driver.

************

The one distinction you don't seem to have mentioned so far is the differences between races run under MSA (Motor-Sports Association) control and other races NOT under MSA control (often caled Non-MSA).

It's a rough description of the two to suggest that MSA races tend to be for better prepared and more expensive karts than Non-MSA races. That really IS a crude generalisatiopn but it's often accurate.

Both the D-Max and Club-100 are Non-MSA but are also Arrive-and Drive.

However, that leaves the Non-MSA races which ARE for Owner-Drivers. Many of these tend to be considerably cheaper than MSA Owner-Driver races. Again, as a rough and ready description, you may find it cheaper to race Owner-Driver Non-MSA races. Because these don't tend to be so tightly controlled as MSA races, it's harder to say what karts can be raced at these meetings. The only solution would be for you to go to see some Non-MSA Owner-Driver races and compare them to MSA Owner-Driver races. That gives you a further opotion.
