Yeah ok, some Storm owners may have a lot of time on their hands and that may be because their karts are sitting somewhere,not fit for racing. It's OK banding figures and so called facts around but where the hell are you getting this information from? We have tried to get a response from John Hoyle and his "agent" but no response worth noting. It does appear that some people out there are now posting info here as "fact" but it would be most helpful if you could let us all know where your information has come from as there are quite a few of us sitting waiting to hear.
Numbers...could prove to be pointless firing figures about as we have seen above - after all you can make "statistics" read almost as you want. We know of 3 drivers and between them,they have gone through 8 Storm chassis...I believe they have all given up on the Storm now and moved onto different chassis. Should be noted that one of them at least,had a chassis replaced fairly recently and believe it also has now cracked so when did the so called improvements and changes to the materials and welding happen? It seems that if you are running in S1,your chassis does appear to be replaced promptly. The club drivers seem to be the ones getting nowhere ie we are basically being ignored. Speaking to one of the aforementioned S1 drivers,I pointed out the problems we were having and he did mention that the only reason the chassis were being replaced was that John Hoyle did not want the hassle at S1 and were actually told that the last thing he wants,John Hoyle,is angry Storm owners "in his face" at the S1 rounds. Perhaps that is why so many of us are struggling with this. There have been a few different threads on this now and this point appears to have been made before. So, it does appear that it is who you are and where you race ie if you are doing S1 you are looked after or at least acknowledged....the rest of us seem to be going around in circles,but not in our cracked karts!
So basically,if you have any genuine,verifiable information regarding the welding or materials or changes that have been made to the kart please put them on but if it's just paddock rumour or gossip or something a mate's told you, please do not post it on here - it really is not helpful. Cheers
