Thank you! I really appreciate it, and I am glad that you enjoyed the video. If you want to follow me and what I have been up to, check me out on Instagram @sander_sorok_40
Great video and fantastic racing! Would you know why lifting off slightly earlier is better than braking quickly slightly later into the turns in this track?
Wait, are you the guy who made another 20 second best lap this year? I'm in the teen League there and my name is Selena Alferez I don't know if you've seen my name on the big screen before but I've been having trouble making a perfect time lap on this track I've been driving in that place ever since 2016 and started a going to Jr Leagues there since I was 8. Do you use the breaks? Or do you slowly let go of gas to turn? AMAZING DRIVING!!
Hey! Ya that was me haha. I went back in January for a day because I was in town for the holidays. I go to school in Florida now, so I am not back there much. I also started going to the track right when it opened in 2016. I set both records a few months and kept improving on them throughout the year. If you want to check out all of my records, take a look at my Instagram @sander_sorok_40. Maybe you have raced at some other tracks that I have also raced at! I would love to talk more about my technique and how I can help you. Maybe we can set up a Zoom meeting or something along those lines. Please message me on Instagram (if you don't have Instagram please let me know), and if I do not reply within a couple of days, definitely drop another message in this thread. I get a lot of messages, so sometimes I miss one :) I am all about helping people, and I'd be glad to help you get faster. Go get 'em!
I had the privilege of running a few races with Sander and some of the workers on the track. We were running on track two that day and tried to keep up. He uses the steering to break the car. running on that knife edge of traction of the front wheels. No way did I have the feel for the car to be at that level of 'touch' . At least with scrubbing the rubber off the tires you could see his line exactly! I really gotta get back on track, seeing there open, it'll be in the next few days. See ya there.
That's exactly right haha. I let off early and use the steering to brake. I appreciate the compliment haha, I'm sure with practice you can get there too. I actually have some photos of the track after I run it. There is a significant increase in tire marks haha. I go to school in Florida now, so I won't be there very much anymore. Let me know how it's going, and stay fast!
pssshhh..... so my 22.306 on a loaded track is actually better than your solo 20.5. yes I see this was 2yrs ago. But we're Boston so we'll talk shit whenevah :-p
@@sander_sorok_40 they took 3 mph of straight line speed away from us when corporate came in and saw that the KW usage was way too high to complete 14 laps without the batteries falling off bad. That's why we lost 3 tenths back in 2016. Iran a 20.248 the week after your record lap thst still stands today and probably will never be beaten. Hope you're moving up the racing ladderthese days, you've got the skill to go win some real races
@@stp440 Got ya, I never knew that. I remember when you ran that time! I came in later that week and tried to match it or beat it, but the track staff had changed the tires on the kart after you ran it. Sadly, they ended up ruining it. I've definitely been keeping up with my racing, and I've been branching out quite a bit as well. I've been doing some virtual reality simulator racing as practice, and it's actually a really great tool. Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it. Hope all is well.
@@sander_sorok_40 that kart wasn't my first choice but the kart you set the record in had a tire go down on me mid session so i swapped karts for my last race and set that time out of the blue. Have you tried the sacrifice lap technique? Its worth a tenth or 2
Thank you Anh-Phi Tran! I don’t brake anywhere on the track. I let off very early for turn 1, the same thing for turn 3, and also the last one before the main straight.
@@anh-phitran7311 I went yesterday I got frustrated too.. The track is colder now and ran only 22.116. But it was my first time thou. I'm planning to go back and run at least 21.5. Looks like the track record now is 20.2.
@@sander_sorok_40 can you do a good time no matter the kart you get or you have to get a specific one? I noticed that when you get lucky and get a nice you. You get much more grip
I went today and the best lap I got was a 27.4. It was only my first time but I was nearly wide open and didn’t brake at any point on the track, only lifting slightly in the hairpins. I went with a group of 9, so not sure if they slow the cars down or something. Obviously my inexperience doesn’t lose me 7 seconds if I am driving such a similar way, I could get even 3 or 4 but 7 is far too much. Do you think this just means the cars were slowed down? (I was the fastest in our group btw)
@@sander_sorok_40 Alright thanks man. Wasn’t a great race anyway since it was for position and this track has pretty much zero passing zones. Next time ill try going on a weekday when it is relatively empty and see what I can get.
@@ryancoggswell Got ya, check out my passing video ruclips.net/video/RlokRnUOaRA/видео.html . I show you a lot of the passing spots for that track in that video. Hopefully, once you get out there again, this video will help you go faster!

Astonishing driving man! The best I could manage was a 21 second lap time on this track, and a 14.8 on the other track
You're close, practice and the chance of a good kart makes a huge difference
Nice
The more I watch this, the more I see how well you connect the first hairpin into the second turn. Very fluid, very well done
Thank you!
The best video of this track I have seen so far. Hope your doing well with your racing career.

Wow! This is super impressive! My record for T1 Wilmington is 22.236. Good job dude!
Eddie Zhou thank you!! I appreciate it.
Sander Sorok my new record is 21.8 I’m trying to get on your level 😂
Mine was 22.116. It's really hard. That was my first time thou. I did 4 races and thats the best I got.

Thank you, go on any weekday it's always empty.
@@sander_sorok_40 tomorrow I have a half day at school so I’m gonna go after should be empty besides my brother and i
@@cmercierracing wish I could join you, but I live in Florida now. Good luck!
@@sander_sorok_40 hahaha yeah thank you
It says track 2, thats track 1. I wish they could put the power levels back to when we were running 20.2s
stp440 my bad, I got the numbers mixed up. I think the power levels are the same, the karts just aren’t as well maintained anymore.

@@stp440 Nice nice, that's a great time! I have not tried that.
Nice driving. I'm assuming you have to break at turn 1 but how about turn 3? Is it possible to just let off?
Thank you Anh-Phi Tran! I don’t brake anywhere on the track. I let off very early for turn 1, the same thing for turn 3, and also the last one before the main straight.
Sander Sorok awesome, thank you! I'll try that next time. I went for the 1st time last weekend and was frustrated I could only do 22.6s

Yes, the record is 20.2, I ran that quite a while back. I used the same technique that you see in this video

Sounds like the cars were slowed down tbh, do you have footage of you driving? Were you sliding around?

@@ryancoggswell karts were probably slowed down :(

On the kid track I got 18.63 seconds
Trying out the adult one tmrw
Damn looks like you having a bit hard handling😂
Can you tell us what lap was your fastest?
Matt I don’t remember exactly, but I know that after the first 3/4 laps they were all hovering around a 20.5/6.
Did you brake at all for turn 2 and last corner?
Victor Tanaka I don’t use the brake anywhere on the track.
@@sander_sorok_40 Do you lift at turn in? Or just flick the wheel into a drift flat out?
Victor Tanaka I lift
I don’t brake the whole time 🤣
Where do you lift? I can hear it at the first two hairpins, after that it doesn’t sound like you lift at all
