GO KARTING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
This was race 4 on 12-30-21. I got a good start and jumped out to a good lead, but my exhaust gas temps (EGTs) were climbing rapidly as I accelerated down the back stretch. I felt a loss of power and pulled the clutch in to save the motor. It's a real bummer because the kart was running great and I think I had a competitive shot at doing well. That's racing!

The PERFECT DRIFT in Karting!
Drifting challenge in karting! The balance of this kart was perfect for super satisfying slicks-in-the-wet drifting! A 6 second long drift may not be impressive for cars, but kart tracks rarely have corners long enough to achieve this number, so I'm pretty happy about this one lol
