"But overall, I would say that it's about as enforceable as the msa's rule that you can't compete in non msa events!"
More so perhaps. Not long ago someone posted on this board that the management of a certain kart track were willing to see someone injured or killed rather than spend money on safety features.
This was legally actionable and affected the MSA, who had given the track a licence. The MSA has a remedy in its rules and if it doesn't enforce them, then like driving over kerbs, everyone will end up doing it.
This year this site has seen people accuse traders of fraud and cheating, drivers of cheating, officials of ignoring incidents and so on. These remarks are often made in complete ignorance of the facts and asserted as being true.
"it's about as enforceable as the msa's rule that you can't compete in non msa events!"
However, the MSA rules don't quite say that.
Firstly my solicitor friend has offered the legal opinion that the rule C 1.1.10 has to be read in the context of the Blue Book. It doesn't refer to non-MSA events.
Secondly, the rule is about competitions and championships, not events. So, for example, one is not allowed to advertise a series of events as being a 'Competition' or "Championship" if it doesn't have a competition or Championship licence, and if you know that the series doesn't have a licence, you should not take part.
