I understand many of your points but there are a lot of DD engines around and if you ban them then they become scrap metal. Pelople then may leave the sport or go to non-MSA.

I have seen some excellent posts from ITPro where he has explained the technique for easily starting DDs and when a friend tried it they did find it very easy. It may need some instruction rather than a ban to make it safer.

Yes they can be a bit harder to get off thye track but the main danger comes from other drivers ignoring the yellow flags and not slowing down.

I have seen situations where drivers of tag engines have got tangled up and you have 3 or 4 drivers on the track trying to untangle their karts so they can continue to race so i don't really think the DDs are that much more dangerous.

There are also plenty of alternative classes for anyone who does not want to go the DD route.
