"pete if you ran as sportsman in qld you would have to run on yellows as per Ralfs post . ps my son does weight 167 kg in rotax we lead up 14kg and run hvy class . but at ipi in tag we cant run hvys the extra 5kg puts us to close to the max kart…"

"Dave there was a survey sent out some time ago to all aka Karters of which most questions were reasonable and a lot of them I will say. To the outcome of this i have no idea, However I'm still baffled as to why one particular non associated…"

"Richard I understand how parity is achieved in restricted and as you have said parity in Tag is by weight which is what I am on about. Why do Tag have to run at 165 & 185. The minority motors as have been mentioned above should have 5 taken off…"

"actually a club can specify any weight they would like to run a class at, however it could not be called Tag light and heavy, it would need to called TAG @160 and TAG @180kg and be listed in the supp regs as such with the…"

"In Restricted the "parity" is achieved by different size holes in the restrictor whereas in TaG the "parity" is achieved by different weights.The hole sizes with the Rotax & X30 are different so why do they run at equal…"

"Jeremy I would assume the difference between tagR and Tag being difference in weight is a mistake and was overlooked. There is no other logical explanation and it doesn't make sense. Maybe this can be brought up at the Ipswich general meeting…"

"Like Pete V Said above it should be inline with National stardard for the promotor engine classes light and heavy.  I have nothing against the other motors either but they don't have a national series etc.  The easier we can make it…"

"Three guys that race at Ipswich in TAG Heavy want the weight brought from 185kg. to 180kg.- I'm with you guys, but what about the Lights? "

"x 2 Pete!"

"Agreed Pete. That's how it should be."

"Just to clarify gents... Sorry I meant "national Rotax standard weights" and "national Leopard standard weights". Tyres aside for this at this point, but wouldn't it be in everyone's (club to boost numbers and members…"

"cant the clubs put in a late agenda item  Ralf ???"

"The National standard for the TAG 125 class is what is in the book...no point discussing this without submitting a change to the rules through your club ... these changes were advised to be in the State offices  by the 11th May ..not one club…"

"And what about the karter(Rotax) who weighs in at 167kg? Does he purchase your lead & go up to 180kg and race heavy? The weights don't suit everyone so whatever is done disadvantages somebody.Don't think you would get anywhere near 100…"

"Agree entirely Pete. Im not sure that I have seen anything other than x30 and Rotax this year at a local club meet. I'd love to see these engines run at there national class standard weight of 160 and 180kg's and pull the minority engines…"

"have to disagree Colin about the noise when they were on the streets of Adelaide. The enormous sharp bang between gears for me anyway was phenomenal. You knew something was up and for those that have never heard it or probably never will, it was…"
