I love karting as a Father, Grand Father and CoC. The rules are not allowing me to do my job as a CoC

Sad state of affairs when the sport is so low in number. No one to blame apart from the MSA who have been happy to take take take over the years and then put 14 year olds into cars, conflict of interest?

Something needs to be done very soon.
Stop making new specs up which cost racers a lot of money every month.

Numbers are dropping year on year, action needs to be taken to stop the people leaving ASAP. The sport is still fairly good at getting people in but why are more people leaving, everyone knows why, the regulations, the cost, the lack of listening by powers that be, the growth in IKR. the MSA is full of good people but it's not working, the license numbers are testament to that. Come sit down, take action or we will watch more and more people leave the discipline and then MSA karting will be a small irrelevant component!

Sort the KZ tyres out!! Why are we using non homoligated ancient rock hard rubbish tyres that no other country in Europe or the world use!!! Likely due to the massive conflict of interest due to having the tyre supplier sitting on the board that decides what tyres are used!

What do the MSA give back to Karting from all the licence fees they take? People are already choosing to go non-MSA.

As an msa racer I wish to see karting flourish, in my past seven years of racing I have only seen it decline

It's time the MSA took a serious look at Kart regulation on site visits and consulting competitors and looking at regs world wide as some penaltys are to severe and chasing people away MSA tracks

First msa license in 1994, raced upto 2010 and then continued to race as a sponsor of a driver, the lack of clear direction, and rediculas increase in cost was bad enough, but when the failing nosecone rules were introduced that was me done, half the grid with penalties and nobody knowing where they have finished in a race is not what I was paying for, all in an effort to clean up driving, it was really pretty simple, bad driving and you get sent home! Anyway, I protested to the complete mess in the only way I could, I'm out, after 22 years you finally ruined the sport beyond the most hardened of karting enthusiasts will to participate. I suspect this is a waste of text because I fear the msa heads are way too far north of their own snipit valves!

The decline in MSA karting is so obvious it can't just be pointed in the general direction of people simply giving up on the sport, esp when IKR thrives. Changes need to be made to bring karting back down to earth, for those who aren't looking to make a career out of it or a quick buck. Make it accessible. Make it affordable.

Walked away from it - you could see it was confused and lost. Bit like F1, had forgotten why it exists and trying to extract cash from you at every turn.
