Woah! That�s a terribly one-sided comment, d-i-y71.
These threads always concern me because they give (potential) newcomers such an atrocious view of karting / kart racing as a whole.
The answer is not to keep away from kart racing, but simply to keep away from where the F1 wannabees are racing.
This sport should have a clear demarcation between �amateur� (which could be roughly defined as racing and practicing no more than, say, 12 times a year and with no big �team� support as well as with just one chassis and one engine) and �professional� (obviously not as in earning a living from it, but with big �team� support, frequent testing, multiple engines and chassis).
It seems very likely that IKR and MSA, respectively, will come to represent these two very different camps.
To potential newcomers: you can absolutely avoid the type of racing being described here. There are plenty of options for those seeking clean racing; racing that you and your one and only chassis are likely to survive intact.
