Firstly, I've yet to hear a consistent definition of what 'release' actually IS!!!

Secondly, taking the rough meaning that seems to be implied, I can't see that the changes users claim to have made would alter the 'release'.

Finally, I cannot see a mechanism that could DO what it's claimed to do in 'release'.

So.... tell me what you think it is and how altering X on the chassis will aid 'release'. Don't just say 'it comes out of a corner quicker'; tell me what you think actually HAPPENS!

For example, some people will claim it allows the kart to have higher revs on exiting the corner thus moving the engine into a better 'power band'...... oh really......? So.... if it moves the kart into a power band, how come 'good release' can affect two separate corners, each of which has a significantly different 'exit revs'.... surely, if it works on ONE corner, it won't work as well on another????

Some people will say that it's lifting an inside wheel to allow the engine to rev freely....... oh really? Without a diff......???? And without an engine that has enough BHP to overcome the grip of the outer rear tyre (as used to be available in 100 National/International). Are we saying that a Cadet motor has ENOUGH power to break traction of the out tyre on a normal, dry day......???? REALLY??????

I believe that the changes made to chassis XYZ DO make it faster..... I just doubt that it's this 'release' thing, whatever that's supposed to be!

Still, I am prepared to be corrected..... IF you can explain what it is and how it does it.
