Perhaps if they called the class "World Unlimited Karting Association" for 2 cycle/4 cycle unlimiteds that would end this discussion.
UAS is the only series I have ever heard of that does not want sponsors to come in. Excuse me, they would welcome sponsor money but the sponsor better not expect anything in return.
WKA can run "their "race any way they want. They are the group taking on the financial risk. They have done the math and they believe this is what gives them the best shot at profitability. (A deal with Unilli) They are gambling that you and I will acquiesce and use the Unilli tire and be at Daytona.
UAS better be careful or someone with some business sense is going to start their own "World Unlimited Karting Championship". They could partner with Unilli, Tampax or whoever.
They will have the purses and they will draw the karts. Period....end of story.
I don't think you can say the UAS doesn't want sponsors nor can you say if they do don't expect anything in return.
The UAS welcomes contingency sponsors. This way the customer gets a reward for the purchase use and performance of that product. The sponsor gets bragging and promotional reward for having their product out perform their competitors. In spec series racing you loose that credibility. Unilli tires racing only Unilli tires says nothing about its quality and performance against its rival manufacturer s.
Chris have any spare brooms. I'd love a inside look at that shop.
