Does Mark know about this, if he does he will try and ban them. I will have to check to see if he has called an urgent meeting of the Track Safety Committee. Whilst you are on the same page as this article have a look at the Monster Stand at the AGP, pity they didn't fit the Superkart in any of the shots. Anyway it was good to publicise Superkarting on the most popular stand at the AGP.
Seriously , where's the problem? That's what these guys do.
The Isle of Mann is the most dangerous thing ever in my book and yet it goes on every year and it claims lives often yet I would race a twin around there if I was given the chance.
C'Mon you guys/girls are involved in a sport that many see as extreme, so are the longboarders & as Scott said "it's what they do" & they prepare, practice & probably let a little bit hang out there, but you can brake with a well timed slide or foot brake :o However even though Bathurst is steep the road surface is nice compared to some of the South American events those guys race. "Hats off" I say as ya gotta love EXTREME sport! Oh & the pic is me just to give some cred to the above 8)

geat heelslide slide stewy, Im a member of http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/ and ride a earthwing superglider, I was going to comment on that how those guys put haybales on all the corners and have no problems with authorities up at the mountiain, I guess the karts get around those corners at three times the speed, but anyone interested in doing this sport and used to ride a board when they were a nipper, the boards nowadays are so quick and stable, have a go, check this guy out.
Nice FENO 8) that video of Kyle Chin is awesome & I don't know if you caught any of the Bathurst event but there was a live feed of the racing on ASRA which saw plenty of use of the mentioned hay bails :P I have sent you a friend invite from that site

Don't think it's CAMS running this event.
