I’ll throw out an idea.
Let’s take a page from SCCA:
After race, all karts go to a designated “impound” area.
Everyone in the race is given 20 minutes to inspect all the other kart’s
that ran. During this period if they wish to file a protest on another kart,
it must be done during this time.
Inside of motors can be inspected with a borescope.
With the borescope, you can pull the plug, look at the ports, piston, rings and cylinder. Plus you can take off the airbox, open the slide or butterfly and inspect the reeds.
No need to break seals, and split cases.
This brings a degree of self governing to the racers, makes tech easier,
and everyone is satisfied.
(G-RPM will provide a Provision Borescope to the CSC at cost)
Another idea (we are using this one in the Easykart Series and it works well) again from the pages of SCCA road racing.
You win and kill the competition, add 5 lbs.
Plus makes for a fun race by flipping the grid in the final.
I think we all have to take a look at our sport and why we are doing it.
I personally believe since at the end of the day, we are racing for a $20-$30 trophy (dust collector) shouldn’t the focus be on FUN and developing the skills of the drivers?
Just a thought![/b]
