Doesn’t IKF now recognize the TAG class? So if this is true doesn’t that mean that George is not deviating from his race structure.

I don’t know if IKF supports TaG or not, however that doesn’t mean one or more TaG classes couldn’t be offered in an IKF region. Earlier this year there were at least 2 regions running TaG-type classes in the US under IKF as local or region options. By now I expect there are more.
The only problem with running in a option class is youy’re not eligible for Nationals.
There is a process the RD has to go through and the classes have to be approved by the national office.
I can say this – if George does this, and I hope that he does, I’ll be among the first to say yay. I can’t say I’d commit to a full season in his program as I have other commitments and only so much money to spend, but I think I could be coerced into making a few races.
However it’s all pure speculation. The wording of the articlem on EKN only spoke of the class’ continued growth and not necessarily a proper class within his program. I hope George will step up and make this clear for us. I he doesn’t want to support a structured TaG class in his program, I will certainly understand, but it sure would be cool if he would.
