Look at the HQ series, does it still exist? They were getting more power out of a single carby than Firth was getting out of triples on an XU-1 and that was always going to be a cheap class. You will never get the true story and I will bet the Excel series is no different. There is simply no class that money is not a factor, karting the greta leveller in strict regulation is a prime example. You can run a Formula Vee for less that what some karters spend, it is simply cheque book racing with fathers racing through their sons.
So let's get back to it, reducing costs in SC, give me a hard figure that it should cost to race in the series because no matter what that figure is someone somewhere will have a different one.
