Terry,
How about you enlighten everyone....I was there too you know.
I know for a fact that you raised concerns about the air flutes in Jason Burns air box BEFORE the class rolled out....and you said nothing to Jason Burns until he returned…

This thread is quickly turning to shit Col. There are a few people who can't seem to control what they type and don't realise who is reading. We have all been warned. I have just gone through this on a website I moderate just today with…

John Lane,
What you have posted here is in part a lie - a damned lie.
Please retract it now.

Hi All,
I'm not endosing that the DQ was justified however just had a look at the rules,
By the way don't shot the weight master he wasn't a tech guy.

G'day George
It has to be the silver one with the AKA-KIAA and AKA43 markings with a filter in it.
George zacharis replied to Col Fink's discussion 'Excluded for a blue Comer engine cover'
I have a Black air box [Rookie class] wots the deal with that, nobody has said anything so far must be colour blind so far lol
i also have a fast red one but its too fast for my son, then theres the silver one which dont suit the karts…

That's a valid point you raise their John.
If we had a tech guy do that at one of our meets, we wouldn't bother inviting him back again.
Yes, it's all well and good to enforce the rules as they are written, but a little…
John Lane replied to Col Fink's discussion 'Excluded for a blue Comer engine cover'
Fact is it is an engine cover......NOTHING MORE. If the officials believe it contravenes a rule, they should have told the guy that he needs to change the cover, or they will need to act....That would have been the end of it. (had…
Col Fink replied to Col Fink's discussion 'A warning for those with AKA race licences'
I don't have the time right now, but I was a witness in the case you're discussing, and have spoken at length to both the suspended party and the state prosecutor. It is my (rather well informed) opinion that you guys are not particularly…

They have even got rid of one their own because he did not stick with them.....
http://www.kartbook.net/forum/topics/dismissal-of-officials-for-telling-the-truth
they want and almost have every karter to be in fear of them
Plain and simple they are…
Paul Hewitt replied to Col Fink's discussion 'A warning for those with AKA race licences'
Been told this driver got a month's holiday, seemed he was offered a month if he plead guilty, seems he took it??? I wonder what if he chose to fight it, but knowing the guy he is a bit cash strapped so took the month off and its only 1 meeting…
Michael O'Brien replied to Col Fink's discussion 'Excluded for a blue Comer engine cover'
Paul I agree with you the precedence had already been set the rule should be clearer . It was poorly handled in my opinion and unless it's sorted will continue.
I think half the issue is like most rule books they aren't written by…
Paul Hewitt replied to Col Fink's discussion 'Excluded for a blue Comer engine cover'
Michael,
if its in the rule book its not CLEAR, when it could be easily written if they want this to NOT occur simply write it clearly NO painting of ANY part of an engine thats not standard etc. then its clear. Why didn't the chromed…
Michael O'Brien replied to Col Fink's discussion 'Excluded for a blue Comer engine cover'
John I have to disagree with you. I agree it's a bullshit rule, but if it's in the rule book it should be enforced or it sets a precedence. Imagine the problems if someone makes a protest and based on them letting it go last time or at…

Great point Alex. I've been speaking with Craig Denton a bit over the last couple of months, and one of the things he's trying to improve at a National level is transparency - he's trying to make the communications to the karting…
Alex Poulsen replied to Col Fink's discussion 'Excluded for a blue Comer engine cover'
newbie question. If a parent of another competitor puts in a complaint , therefore forcing the official into a hard place, is there a requirement for a record of the complaint to be kept. If so is this information able to be accessed by the other…

James True said… - So this is where the good dudes hang out........hey col , luke and Darren.
Guys do reckon we could get some sort of tech section going for say chassis tuning or even engine development for us tech nerds?
Maybe make it a sealed section or something so no politics or stuff comes into it, Just facts and tech specs? Thought it may work. Maybe with interviews or question time with some of the industry guys and engine builders.(thats if anyone would volunteer. Even a how to scruitineer or test engines for compliance( maybe a guest VKA tech) to help the topics along and answer questions. Sort of like a question and answer section?
Anyway I thought it might be useful.
