Since this GC600 event seemed to go off as predicted i'm thinking there is probably more than few over the years that would like yo see some current and previous admin( if app ) to accountability ?
Lets face it, over last 10+ plus years a lot of time and money has been wasted by the AKA by shutting down or out any private track owner , promoter, non certain club associates from making any attempt to further the sport to this stage .
The level of vindictiveness , indignation toward and well straight up lies about anyone who showed a slight interest in this secto r of the sport was beyond comprehension . To now have a new board in place , private owner event permits to now even be looked at all of a sudden despite previous exscuses like safety and so called " protection of brand integrity " is......f&$@ed IMHO
I know of a few who feel the same and i'd think something needs to be done to return some confidence back into the scene. I think it's going to take more than one event to right the previous wrongs.

so so true Mal, who can forget their guilty verdict in the fed court, all aimed at stifling competition, the GC600 event has shown that there are people WANTING karting as a sport to flourish, and there are even moves affoot to continue this GC600 concept and IF the AKA board ARE smart they will grab a hold of these ideas and ASSIST in their operation NOT try and take it over or shut them out, they NEEDÂ to get past this selfish attitude and look at the SPORT.

I do hope the "old guard's" vindictivness has vanished, and this will only happen if the old guard DO NOT occupy any positions on any of the sub committees, if this is done I do believe with fresh board new faces the future could/will be much brighter.

I am hearing some worrying things Mal about the GC600 and AKA new board's involvement and safety concerns etc etc I just hope they haven't gone too far the other way, I suppose if the evet is to go ahead next year we will have to wait and see what safety issues are addressed and complaince to the AKA book is done.Â
Mal the more I look the more it worries me? hearing things like the board were aware of safety issues but were dismissed flipantly???? heard the AKA [ old guard] jumped on board too quickly and said yes before checking things out? I do hope this new board looks hard at this event next year great concept but if the proverbial happened [ remember the gong?] it could  undo a lot of good work by this private promoter.
There doesn't appear to be much needed to fix the situation so its not a real serious issue for next year safety wise anyway.
Paul what are the issues that came out of that event? Looking at the video it appears there may have been some safety issues? Paul Hewitt said:

In what way is it bullshit? Mal Crosher said:
This is bullshit. Employee / Marshal broken collar bone after being cleaned up ???
Say what? Mal Crosher said:
True or not ? Why won't anyone say it here in public ?
Well if you didn't post in circles and just said what you mean then your posts would be a lot easier to understand.
I had no idea an official was injured. Mal Crosher said:
That a marshal got cleaned and left in an ambo due to no protection at all ? Wtf nev..
