I can't debate attendance figures with you since I don't  know how many
karts have attended autocrosses in the last 4 years. I will argue that
statistics are not lineal. If in four years you have had 500 kart
entries(for example) and one kart incident results in an injury is the
incident rate 1 in 500? not exactly.Not one of every 500 kart entry is
going to have an injury.
    I can understand how you guys that are anti-kart feel about the
situation. A class was put up on you that circumvented tradition rules and
thinking without your input. I was in SCCA back in the 70's when showroom
stock came along and the debate was hot and heavy then  except we didn't
have the internet to vent our frustrations.
