ok then since your simply missing the point here is an example,
why do they have weight class's in boxing ?
why don't you see guy's over 65kgs racing in WSBK or motogp ?
it's not a case of wanting to race the because you would still be in the same race just in a different division,& i am pretty sure that go karts are weighted to make it a level playing field

yeh i agree with me mate daz11, but a fat riders race would be kool! (no people under 70kg allowed unless they ride a cag)

how many racers are in the current league anyway?

id imagine youd still all race in the same race but the points be scored different

yeah 74 i get what your saying, but the sport is not big enough to do things like that. if theres only a small amount of people on the grid to begin with, i dont thnk its a good idea to divide those people into different groups.

all those sports you mentioned are huge sports within australia with alot of people wanting to get involved, but pocket bike racing is a small sport.

if people have to contend with people like con, they will be more likely to spend more time and effort on the sport, which will benefit the sport and all of the people that are part of the sport

i think the sport wont grow if something isn't done to encourage more to race & why would they race f they have no chance ?

ok so when your the best you think you can be & are constanly getting beaten by guys half your weight you will be like thats ok i'll just try harder, whatever dude wake up

if your getting beaten so hard then you should probably think about what your doing.

im not saying i disagree with weight classes, im saying we need more numbers first, because a race with only a few people on the grid isnt much of a race
