E the t i think your absolutely spot on. Your opnion to me is worth more than half the clowns that advocate the "get past by any means method" of driving.
Part of the art of motor racing is being able to outwit the guy in front and not use him as a brake, also it's a skill in itself to defend against a quicker kart. I firmly believe that plastics heve allowed these bad techniques to flourish.
One thing i have told my son to do if he is feeling any pain from the driver behind is to point backwards vigorously at the driver nudging him so it draws attention to it. Nine times out of ten the driver gets the message and we have better racing for it.
As for people threatening to put them in an air ambulance. I find this terrifying and chills me to the core. I fear with the get past at any cost mentality we are going to have a fatality soon. We've had them before.
Also can anyone explain what loading up is as i've heard it used but not really understood what it is. Is it a valid technique in karting.
Many thanks.
