Just finishing next month’s (November) newsletter, was hoping to have new pictures of the Progress Grand Prix but the weather as put a dampener on things, don’t want to get it wet or let the wind blow on it so it will have to wait until the December edition.
I have addressed some of the issues raised by the members but please remember I have no influence with those you feel are letting the historic karting movement and yourselves down, if what you tell me is true then you should rise these issues with your committee and race series directors, I feel you will be wasting your time trying to talk to them (not the sharpest tools in the box) and a more direct approach maybe called for, like withholding your membership fees and letting it be known that you will not be entering events next season, although from what I have been told you may wish to hold on for a while as some major changes are on the cards, I doubt these changes will be for the good but we will have to wait and see, the one thing you can count on is, if, the same bunch of brainless plonkers are involved thing are not going to get any better.
Let’s face it you lot have been badly let down and the one event that really shows how bad these toss pots have managed things is Crystal Palace; when you consider the very last event held at the Palace was a Kart Race (I know because I took part in the event) and to degrade our sport by only being allowed to do a few doughnuts in a tennis court while car that never ever race or took part in any event at the Palace where allowed to take to the circuit, a good many of the vehicles were not manufactured at the time, even kids carts took to the track along with a Nissan Serena, Honda Civic and a gaggle of Lambretta’s, I could find just one picture of a Class 1 Kart.
Your committee believe it’s best to negotiate from a position of weakness and always have done.
FYI. Doing doughnuts is and always will be embarrassing.
One more FYI. Azusa wheels were never original equipment on Blow Karts, why some members who know this have not spoken out is why you guys will never be taken seriously by the rest of the historic motorsport community, your scared of your own shadows, for God sake man-up and speak out, the toss pots that speak this crap are YOUR committee members and should know better.
