"We rush these young cadets to much. In your fifth race u r a novice and start 28th next week u aren't classed as a novice and start on pole in a mixed grid "

The fact that you can choose to go at the back of the grid seems to have escaped you. It should not be necessary for teh club /MSA to tell Cadet drivers they are not yet ready for pole on a big grid, that is what parents / race managers are for.

The fact that more parents don't choose to put their child at the back of the grid indicates that telling them to do so would be unpopular, something else that people would blame the MSA for.

"There are far too many classes I agree so less choice bigger grids hopefully ."

There are so many grids for thoroughly good reasons. It is down to clubs to decide what classes they will support and how. Bucking the market has been shown to be fruitless in so many other activities, why do you think it would suddenly be different in karting?

As for bigger grids, in my experience it is the bigger grids that bring the most accidents, they don't bring much else to the sport. Nor will bigger grids increase the racing time. There is only a limited number of places on the grid, so simply going for larger numbers will mean that you have the same number of heats, taking 3 from 6 rather than 3 from 3, but in fewer classes.

You might just as well suggest that clubs limit their entries to one grid only for each class, no B finals and with smaller grids less accidents and thus less down time.

Or, of course, time limited complaining. If you are still in the office at the time your next grid starts, you have a choice: either give up and go racing or forfeit the heat and keep complaining! That'll keep the meeting moving.

The problem is actually complex, why do so many people think it will respond to simple, clumsy solutions?
