Drag Kart Racing Compilation

The UK Drag Kart series is full of all different engine/power adder combinations which makes it real exciting to watch whenever they're at the track. Also seeing a Go-Kart hit low 9 second 1/4s is something else.

I'm targeting to hit 50k subscribers by the end of the year and we're just under 1000 away from that goal so if you're not subscribed already please hit that button! Obviously we're out of the drag season in the UK now but I've got some content lined up for you all over the winter months. You can also follow me on Instagram @Mk1Kieran Kieran

4:55 my favorite, that kart is a rocket

[@joer8551]

1:15 6 wheeler definitely seems like he had a rolling start

[@Excludos]

There seems to be a pretty wide weight they need to stay on when it goes green. A lot of them started rolling a little before the start, so I'm assuming it's fine as long as they're still on the weight.

[@johnwilburn]

@@Excludos Weight? What are you talking about? They stage with beams 7" apart.

[@alexfreitas2571]

Well, knowing how to stage is the trick then.

[@racingrivals8934]

It would too much load on the rear end and not enough torque

[@johnnymoThai]

They can roll because they are so low that the beam does not reconnect and start the clock, until the whole kart has passed the beam. Sounds like it's cheating but it is the same for all of them so requires a different way of reading the lights.
