"Hi Rebecca thanks for your input re TV:  Not sure I agree with your assertion TV is always shown at obscure times, yes that does happen with reruns but normally TV ONE kindly shows events in a prompt timely manner in their Sunday Sport…"

"Having been on committee at AKL for the last two years it has been an eye opener. Onsite crew for filming and editing etc is around 10-15k. You have to organise a sponsor to cover the cost which is really difficult. And I don't believe for that…"

"My personal opinion - Television at high profile kartsport events seems to be an expensive waste of money.  I feel it panders to the egos of the racers (for example my husband....).  Most of the time he doesn't even get to see the…"

"Here is another perspective.  As a sport we push out the PR and promote stories and events as much as we can but are largely ignored by the media who are fascinated with wee leather balls. Open NZ Herald Journo's article I saved as…"

"A good topic Steve. For me last year took its toll on my bank account, between my racing and helping my bro a bit. I ,like james, am only going to do club days this year but thats due to the fact i have lots to do around the house and want to buy…"

"Promotion is being done, at the moment i have a display at Hampton Downs for the NZMF, which was held last weekend and is on this weekend, it is a good display with good info about getting in to karting,about 2 years ago i spent 5 days at sky city…"

"Well im glad to see so many great ideas are in the pipeline around the country. Im with steve and Mr flexing mg, tv doesnt do karting the justice it deserves, dont get me wrong i like watching it on tv but i understand whats happening and the true…"

"Well tyres are not an issue because it is just an open practice type day, heres a chance to use what you have. I am sure you can find reasons why not, but lets find positives instead. I want to do more road racing, have phoned around and found…"

"Not picking on you, just want to see you on the track. Hamton will blow your mind :0 Mind you it might amount to nothing, as so far no one has replied and I need 25+ karters to do it. "
