There seems a lot of biast towards TKM, but karting at club level has declined over the years, for many years.
I have raced karts previously for about 7 years, back in the air cooled Rotax, (1984 to 1992) large grids at my local club, very competitive, sticky tyres, and high maintanance, high revving, tuned 100cc karts....

We now have heaveier karts, sealed engines, more advanced kart tech, low grids...

MSA costs have always been there, i do agree that they may put new drivers off, but there is a lower disposable income nowadays, it affects all classes, there are also many other pastimes to take people away from karting, so its a collection of many things not just one, i will say there maybe too many classe now, so this splits up drivers into smaller grids.

Drivers at my local club, Camberley Kart Club seem up beat, but we need more drivers to race, catch 22 situation i think...small grids, no one races, no one races, small grids....
