Are you sure it is the MSA that has `lost the plot?'. there was a thread on this subject back in March and one of the posts copied below suggests that the MSA could not stop this class and the body that is behind it is the ABKC!

Post for March 2010 -

"Do we just sit back & let this class be introduced or do we tell the MSA what the competitors want,after all they exist to look after us."

I don't think it is the MSA's responsibility.

If I have read the rules (and the history outlined in the thread) correctly, any organisation can approach the MSA with a proposal to establish a new kart class.

In this case the class is supported by the AbKC as a result of a proposal made at a past meeting which didn't get adverse responses.

The MSA then passed it to the Kart Sporting Committee (who are not MSA employees) to see if there were objections from a Sporting point of view, and the KSC found it a good idea because of the alleged problems with heavyweight cadets or the very young "year of 12th birthday" driver competing against the" almost 17 year old" in the Junior classes.

Since it had passed the hurdles of a proper proposal, a class administrating organisation, KSC approval there was no more reason to block its introduction than the introduction through similar process of the KF class.

The MSA have stated that the class cannot be artificially inflated by having a Championship in its first year, so it must survive on its merits. It isn't intended to make it compulsory to attend this class yet.

So, if you are going to have a go at the MSA, then also have a go at the commercial sponsor, the sponsoring authority and the committees who also passed it into being as being a good idea.

Or you could blame the parents of the heavy cadets and very young / very old juniors who must have complained in sufficient numbers to come to the attention of the KSC.

But the MSA seem just to be following the rules, it isn't up to them to dictate which classes are accepted.

Of course, if you feel strongly enough, you could put yourself forward to serve on the various committees. Fresh blood and new outlooks might be welcome.
