So you have given that source up with your comments.  But you still haven't addressed the correlation between karting NSW and what took place at Gympie? 

Your comment 'the track safety is largely being ignored and SUPPOSEDLY being dumbed down to suit the the tracks that are operating in failure to observe the basic rules as laid down in the manual'   Are you referring to any particular track or tracks in general and do you have any proof of this SUPPOSEDLY notation as that appears to be in essence hearsay evidence.  Who in your view are those that dumbing down the rules?  Which manual are you referring to?

Neville I will answer this way, The track safety is largely ignored and is supposedly being "dumbed down" to suit the tracks that are operating in failure to observe the basic rules as laid down in the manual. It was a wood chip type catch trap that was directly attributed to that accident. I am trying to get changes here in, NSW as you no doubt know, to the track safety and its management and application. I was using Gympie as an example only as to the results of turning the blind eye to advice that was given to the officials. I do not want to see accidents but realise that they will happen but they can and must be minumised. I can produce a document if needed, but am loathe to do so for fear of the consequences to my sources. I fully trust my source and she has great credability and known for honesty. I trust that answers the question If not I will happily answer further on the subject if you ask

I am refering to the manual that the track inspectors are required to read and use as a guide line as to the methods of fastening crash barriers (tyres) and catch traps and the requirements for clearances between the width of the edges of the track and safety fences Quite a few tracks in places fail to meet the minimum distances.

As you are no doubt aware that I was expelled from the AKA because of the  stance I finally took and complained. I admit I turned a blind eye to these as changes were supposed to happen but didnt. I admit to failing the drivers in this respect as both a steward and clerk of course. I finally had enough and drew the line in the sand, so to speak.

I can quote from the AKA track safety inspectors handbook if you wish and would scan and put it online in my pages if required. It isnt much but when read and tracks checked you will find many breaches of these guide lines.

Please let me know if you want the guidelines posted  Reguards Harry

Neville, am sorry I cannot post the rules as I said. I have tried but my computor skills are of neanderthal proportions.

If you went to the Trac rules and regs look for 1.08 1a(i) and (vii) also 2 a (i) perhaps that will answer the question
