just a thought, please tell me to shutup if you're not interested. In cornering, I'm seeing you do a lot of steering with the wheel rather than the pedals. What I mean by this, in a left hander, specifically T1 but applies to all corners, if your wheel is aiming left, then your leaving grip on the table. You can carry a little more speed there and manage the rotation of the kart with your feet. obviously you can over do this, but the best spot is something I call "sitting in the pocket". Your kart is rotating and you're actually putting minor counter-steer inputs to balance the kart through the corner. This should help with corner speed quite a bit and the all important speed up the next straight away.

@@TheAirun17 you made good points but you have to remember we're talking about go-karts, not cars. We don't have suspensions and definitely no differential to distribute torque between the rear wheels. You have to lift the inside rear tire up in order to get the go-kart to roll through the turn without losing speed to tire scrub of the inside rear wheel. Only part of what you are talking about applies to go karts and that too only the two-cycle go-karts that have a lot more power (20+ HP) than these little 8.5 HP LO206 four-cycle engines that we use in the class I race in. Your suggested method will only slow the driver down, not actually help them when putting it in the context of go-karts.

@@CaptainAwesomeness ah, great point, I'm still applying a lot of my car experience to karts.
