Alv, the key thing for me is that Junior Tkm has seen a resurgence in the last 18 months and with the changes coming next year for Cadets I think a lot of parents with 11/12 year olds will think about moving on to Junior Tkm because they like the chassis simplicity and lower cost of Tkm .
The two main things that attract people to Tkm are the simplicity and relative low cost so if suddenly you have torsion bars, caster/camber and a massive choice of CIK karts that may change the perception of those potentially new drivers from cadet. If this change is pushed through that may well force people towards Minimax or Jnr Rotax as the chassis will basically be the same the main disadvantage for newcomers to Tkm is push starting so if the simplicity of the chassis is lost they may feel they would rather have a Rotax.
As the note from Talko says feedback your comments and hopefully they will see sense. You may want to point out your thoughts about the current chassis being defunct and ask if they would then introduce a Clubman+ class so those old chassis can now be used!!
