SimonS.

Firstly, why the sh*tty tone for the reply to my part? Keep it civil and debate, or like a few others I'll just give up on the forum. And yes, I'm prepared to read and consider what others write.

Why the resistance to reducing number of classes and levering the prices down with suppliers? Are you a trader by chance? The discussion I hear at the end of each season is how many people are going to race in the class the following year, and that some will not race if there's not a decent grid.

I disagree, on race length, sometimes we're limited to 8 lap heats and 10 lap finals at MSA due to time pressures (too many classes, and having to pay for ambulance time), so yes in my case I'd like a couple of laps more. Agree with your comment that it's a struggle to get ready between races sometimes (I'm the owner, driver, & mechanic for my kart) - Fragmenting the classes seems like a bad way to increase time between races though.

Tyres - yes new tyres improve lap times, but one marked set per meeting and levering the buying power by consolidating the number of suppliers cannot be a bad idea surely - standard purchasing strategy?

Cannot see how anyone can really argue about controlling costs on components made of "exotic" materials. Karting is more expensive than it needs to be, and these parts are part of the reason. A standard CIK spec for hubs, pedals, wheels, etc with a maximum price is a perfectly reasonable way to go.

You cannot be serious about discussing safety of helmets when you suggest buying a �100 helmet off Ebay? My Bell kart helmet has a considerably worse field of view than my AGV road helmet, and I've yet to see anyone have their visor compromised in karting, but of course I don't know the whole picture so stand to be corrected. Agree with suits and boots, etc as I think they're actually reasonably priced for the quality.
