Update is....
International committee – one rep per country has had its first meeting last Saturday. The NZ rep is Grant Crawshay. They are primarily looking at a common set of racing rules and equipment rules with one design being the main focus (still two classes, a production class and performance class). Sailing rules would be common across all countries with local event organisers able to post amendments to adjust to local venue requirements via the notice of race and sailing instructions.
Preliminary worlds annually. But that may change. Last I heard the idea was Auckland 2007, Japan 2008, USA 2009, Europe 2010. But again that may change.
An invitation to the NZ clubs to bid to host the NZ nationals was meant to go out (Nicholas???). It would be an Open event, but with the worlds in Auckland it would likely be NZ competitors only.
Grant... Feel free to pipe in with more. Maybe a report on the meeting?
Sean / mike... Are you still thinking about doing a week ice karting followed by a week at Ivanpah early 2008?? That's the one I am keen on!!!! And Japan too... Oh and Europe.... Hell I just want to kart everywhere... Sounds like a world record attempt might be on the cards... Round the globe??? Don, you keen?
Anything missed??

Has the NZ BAI any updates they can give us regarding the formation of a
formal or informal International Body.With the Worlds Blokart Champs
being held in Auckland New Zealand in 2007, it would be nice to know if
these are likely to be held annually or biannual and which in which
country next.With the large following for the Opens,some planning ahead
is going to be needed.I would love to go to UK or Europe but it would
properly have to be a worlds event rather than an open. ( costs for us
poor kiwis )
