Well, it's been a while wince anyone has posted here... Figured I would spice it back up. Concerning karting, since we just had a pretty big event recently... what are some of the techniques you guys have learned in the past? Before our karting trip last weekend, I had never driven a kart before, which showed in my time of a 27.6-ish. It was only a second-ish behind the fastest time, but one second is absolutely huge on a track of that size.
One thing I noticed is that the faster you went into corners, the more the kart stuck, unless it was a hairpin. On those hairpins I found that I was struggling for speed, losing massive amounts of time there. People seemed to outbrake me and still come out of the corner faster, but I wasn't able to figure that out in the limited time I had on the track.
Just any tips or techniques you all have learned and are willing to share, that would be awesome. I was completely fascinated with trying to get better over my 40 minute total stint, which seemed to just blow by in about half the time.
