Ben Florence replied to Richard Drooger's discussion AKA rule book - what's the point?
"I would suggest for the licensing that the AKA adopt a pro rota system. So all memberships are due at a certain time. 1st of Jan makes sense but the date could be whenever best suits them. Then the AKA receive their entire annual budget in…"

"So shouldnt it then be up to the importer of Rotax to find a similar replacement for the Mojo tyre to be competitive against the MG yellow? Sounds like we would progress the sport forward a lot if this could be made to work.  I understand…"

Ben Florence replied to Ryan Sherman's discussion My view on how to improve karting
"I agree with a lot of what you have Ryan, infact I said most of it a few days ago on the thread "Is the AKA trying to kill Rotax/Leopard"  I dont agree with a 107% rule at clubday's. Clubday's are supposed to fun and…"

"Hi Dean, do you think many people at your club would have a problem with racing your Leopard on Yellows against Rotax karts on Mojos? I know you said there isnt many up there anyway but if there was one, would it be a problem? I ask this because it…"

Ben Florence replied to Shane Rampling's discussion SQ Cheetah
"Thanks for the feedback Kev. It is good to hear from someone who HAS one rather than someone who knows a fella who knows someone that took one for a drive one day.  I have been looking at one myself and am still debating which way to go. (I…"

"Attn David Arnold You created the poll recently fromt he document the AKA had sent out. Given that you said this is a living document and can be updated at any time could we also put some questions in about the above changes?  EG: Are you (and…"

Ben Florence replied to David Arnold's discussion handicap Racing?
"Your second option is sounding alot like Dial Your Own that they use in Drag Racing. Difference with drag racing is they can set the christmas tree to go at separate times. The second problem with that is that with Alfano's and…"

"I think Mal's suggestion here is the solution. Early in this thread must people were complaining they could not race (and test) the same set up as what they would be racing at a closed title or promoter event. The second issue was the…"

Ben Florence replied to Scott Dagan's discussion Is the AKA trying to destroy leopard an rotax racing?
"So it sounds to me like most people are upset that they cant run their respective tyres in preparation to events such as state or national titles/series. Isnt the solution then to run TAG-R on MG reds and TAG on yellows and mojos?  I…"
