My son races on asphalt, so our definitions might be a bit different, but that has been one of the biggest learning tools I have been able to pick up watching him, so that I can then make adjustments. There are times he is so locked down "in the track" I can almost see he is bored. He could not lose grip if he tried. Conversely, I will watch him in practice enter a corner and its as if he's driving a hovercraft, with his hands sawing back and forth and tires splayed in every direction as he is "on the track". I realize those are extremes, but when he was really young starting out, it was the first thing I could easily see so I could make adjustments between runs. Now, a few years in to this game, we both can use that as a starting point when we debrief after a run. Things might not be to the extreme they once were, but we use it to get in to a conversation about what he was feeling. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for another great video! I make sure to recommend the channel to all of the other race dads who are starting out at our track. Your work is invaluable!
I have experienced exactly what you’re talking about on both ends of the spectrum. Thanks for explaining the proper terminology for us new racers. I’ve tried to apply what I have learned in your videos and have had some success!! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Learning the terminology is a major plus for driver and the crew. Then the driver can describe exactly how the kart is handling so that the correct adjustments can be made. As always great info. Thanks 👍
You need to come to Dreamfield kartway. It’s at the Afton fair grounds. Clone class if very competitive. Next race is Oct. 11th & 12th. For the XBP 212. Come check it out.
