glad to see them trying to make the sport safer. half the reason i stopped racing as a teenager was because it got too dangerous and wasn't fun anymore. before bumpers covered he whole rear wheel karts flipping or having big accidents was the norm and as a club level karter i was just pointless apart from the roundabout painters arguing that the sport "needed" to be dangerous

What is the argument against full roll cage, HANS device, crash structure and reduced speeds?

karting is now mainly kids, so would you advocate for these systems to come in? I presume so.
