Message Body:
one of the problems with karting is the low numbers of racers in each class which is the result of the clubs trying to accomidaty all motor packages in hopes of getting more racers.it does not work that way.it is like rasing the price on a product to make more mony istead you end up selling less.instead the clubs should consintrate on a few good classes that accomadaty a class that that will allow all age groups and skills to race and be competative.once the classes are determined the club should do all it can to promote the classes and work to keep the cost down. >>
>>KT-100 was tried a few years back but never gained momentum anywhere. If the 2 or 3 drivers that showed made it without motor problems it was a good day. Usually drivers went home early from failure or lack of competition. No disrespect but they are a money pit unless stock. TaG Novice is a great start. STOCK PRD TaG motors should be in the novice class moving from clone. They are cheap about $1500 ready to race compared to a blueprinted Leopard. Does NNKC post-tech? If no how many modified old motors are in the entry classes. Happens all the time so drivers get frustrated they cant keep up and quit racing when its only not having h.p. of another novice with a better motor usually neither know the difference. Does NNKC allow Vortex Rok TT 125cc in the TaG class for club racing? If no why not? NNKC allows Rotax and Parilla in the same class correct. Usually Rotax has a weight penalty and I did not see that listed on this website. Anyone?

>well if they get 10 KT-100's then would it make it better. listen ive raced all classes at some point in my illustrious 6 year career in karting. we dont want prd here. why bring in another motor?do we allow RokTT. why would we? Enough motors and stick with what u got its working. rotax run a penalty? are u kidding me. then we have to lose to a parilla by 10 seconds next time. please. penalty? i wonder where some of you come from.
