Disclaimer: I, in no way have a clue as to what Im talking about, so take this with a grain of salt. But being of the mindset that I don't personally like racing with the throttle wide open from green to checkered ..... and do feel that I can drive as good as the next guy, and better than some. So I would like to race where throttle control and kart control come more into play.
I read a story years ago in Circle Track magazine that basically stated that a track had written their rules to prevent cheating. They did this by having no engine rules, but limiting the tires to 8" wide treaded tires. This was a dirt track and was a street stock type division.
My point being: What would happen to Box Stock classes if the rules were that you had to run 6" tires all the way around the kart? In essence, 4 left front tires. Still have the same engine rules, but wouldn't this make them less important? This would for sure require more kart control and lifting in the corners. Other than having to buy more tires and rims, what other draw backs would there be to this scenario?
Just me pontificating...... or Kishing. ..LOL
Don't call me Paul though !!
