I would like to see the class get really large (40+) before a split. However, if you are going to have a split, make it a true heavy and light split. At 385 lbs we will still have 65lbs of lead, nuts and bolts attached to every open spot on the kart as well as a completely full gas tank. 😥 It is better than 80lbs of lead but our kart will still be too heavy for two people to lift in the “light” class. 👿 If you are going to have a “light” class make it truly light – 360lbs or less! If you are going to establish a heavy class you are already accommodating the heavier drivers so please accommodate the lighter drivers. Better yet, and for the sake of bad backs and safety, establish a rule that limits the amount of lead that can be added to a kart, say 40 lbs.
For a LIGHT class I vote for 360lbs or a max of 40lbs of lead added to a kart. 385lbs is simply too close to the “accommodate everyone” current weight of 400lbs to be called “light.”
That’s my two cents worth. :cheers:
