Our scca region is having a weekend race at one of those nice indoor go-kart tracks. Last year, the club racers beat up on the autocrossers pretty badly.
So what's the secret to being fast in a kart? Short line vs. smoother, wider line; Hit the apex or late apex; hard brake & gas vs smooth transitions etc. I'd rather not have to resort to stock car tactics to keep people behind me.

They will wear you out.
When I had Matthew at the Red Bull in Boston, I had a chance to talk with Danny Sullivan. He test drove one of the Rotax RM-1's before the kids got in them. He told me that he felt he was still in very good shape (he still drives alot) but he said they flat wore him out. I know when I drive the karts here, I come back after 8 minutes of running and I'm breathing very hard. |
