Kevin the sport is a hobby and not a profession. I don't see anything wrong with a very knowledgeable person who can take a beginner and point them in the right direction and give good advice making a few quid to fund there own racing activities.

Remember most people don't want to get to the top and want to compete to the best of their ability on limited budgets and can't do that with some of the poor free advice on offer. So yes most people will give advice freely (some of it diabolical) but anyone giving sound advice and being able to set karts up for people, offering engine work and driver training at a fraction of what a big team would charge is a positive for the sport.

Just because your a big team or even a professional looking team it doesn't mean they offer any better service or advice than joe bloggs who wants to genuinely keep people in the sport whilst helping fund there own racing activities.

Just because people sign up to a team it doesn't guarantee success.

I actually think when they started talking about the lewis hamilton affect years ago that it would have a negative impact on grass roots karting but there is ways of getting plenty of bangs for your buck on extremely sensible budgets but there will always be a point when a certain amount of performance can be bought.

When I say sensible budgets I am not talking the 30 grands that some people think is a small budget I am talking really small budgets for a seasons club karting.
