Sounds easy enough to operate. This will really help with perspective new aka members. I can imagine the look on their faces as they walk down the outgrid and see all the garden blowers lined up with the external starters. Can't wait to see the dads/pitcrew running out onto the track during roll around laps with one arm through a fluro vest and the other carrying the latest husqvarna blower vac.
I haven't seen anything so dodgy since I had a look at the Donut King Van with the Lear jet engine
Please bee careful what you say. If the AKA gets wind of this, they might buy the rights, then decide to phase out Rotax etc and make all of us buy them at hugely inflated prices.
On the other hand, we would not be able to hear what the police were saying when they came to investigate the noise complaints.
The AKA has indeed adopted this as the 'new' class for 2012. However, due to safety concerns, the karts must be operated by remote control. The remote control systems will only be available through the AKA (who will buy them from the local hobby shop) at a price of $9978 per system. Of course, all drivers will still need to be wearing full safety gear and due to the power generated by these karts, all drivers will need to be wearing very expensive neck braces.
Furthermore, as these karts may go too fast, the CM:S system is to be scrapped and a completely redesigned by a consulting company (owned by a relative of a national board member). Transponders shall be mounted as follows:
(a) For those who just love to race and don't suck up to the powers that be - at a point between the rear of the drivers seat and the rear axle.
(b) For 'golden boys and girls' and those with connections - at a point in line with the kingpin bolts.
This is to ensure that races are won by only those people who will sing the praises of the AKA.
As they have offered the AKA a special price, it will now only cost $450,000 up front and $25,000 each month thereafter until the end of time. There is no guarantee it will ever work as advertised, but this should be of no concern to anyone, as the AKA has it all under control.
As they will only be able to be operated at certain tracks, the AKA has set a fixed fee for track rental that is to be applied Australia wide, to ensure the vested interests all get their cut.
The specs for the class shall be set from time to time, following scrutineering and before the first heat. These specs shall be set by those who:
(a) have family ties to the Technical Committee
(b) have the most money to waste on their karts to mask a lack of talent
or
(c) are the importers of a new component that is not selling well enough.
Further details to follow.
yep, thread just got taken too far
Oops. I've just realised. This was in the Pub, and so it was only a joke. Silly me, I thought it was new policy .. .
The part that has me interested in this beast is the whole run down on how to start and make the 7k worth of turbo spool until boiling the lube oil and sucking any nearby small children into it....oh wait he ran out of money for the $2 brake cable! Gold! Hahahaha LMFAO that is gold! Wonder if he strapped the missus in for the "official test run"! Haha!
