Yeah that’s true. There are mostly total novices on track with him so his pace differential is significant to those patrons.
There seems to be a general rule that the novice patrons hold turn angle too long. The back end kicks out. They semi-spin. Then, they stand on the throttle, and do it again, just in the other direction.
Zig zag zig… hard to pass.
Eventually you punt them and feel bad for aggressing an older woman, probably the mother of one of your friends.
Which is exactly the reason I don’t like indoor karting 
although European indoor tracks seem to usually be better in terms of overtaking compared to American indoor tracks, from what I’ve seen on videos.
The one thing I like about indoor tracks is the unique layouts and corners that can be made by adding elevation, underpasses, bridges and all sorts of things that can’t be replicated in an outdoor track. Plus, with the walls so close, it feels like a proper street circuit with a decently fast kart.
Truth be told it all depends. Generally peak times (weekend evenings) and at tracks in big population centers, are the worst offenders.
I don’t do public sessions at supercharged for example. I stick to league.
Places like Xtreme Zone in Del (sort of obscure) it’s less of a thing. Outdoor like at NJMP is more spacious and has runoff, so noob-dodging is easier. But your relative speeds can be dangerously higher.
Last weekend was the first SWS endurance of Mariembourg. Not a great result by us unfortunately.
Its kinda wild to see rental at Mariembourg!
Pretty huge fleet there (prolly around 100 of RT8s) 
That would be a fun way to spend around a million bucks. Gokarts for everyone!
Especially the onboards, seems like a completely different track with a rental kart! Some straights feel a lot longer than they do with a race kart
Our last ever race at Arizona Motorsports Park - the place has been sold. Been running there over twenty years, good times.
Welp, I unfortunately wiped another driver out of the final on the warmup lap last night at 103rd Street/North Florida Kart Club. We were running TaG Sr And TaG Master together, and the lead TaG Sr driver made a mistake and spun on his warmup lap. I lost track of where he was after I passed him, and I was weaving full track width to heat my tires and not looking behind me. He tried to pass me and get back up to the pole and we hit each other, bending his axle.
I went to his trailer after the race and he was understanding about it, said it wasn’t my fault. Classy guy. He wasn’t hurt and he has deep pockets, so I know he can afford to fix the kart, but I feel bad about taking a win away from him. Sorry, my fellow racer

Goodmorning i just love also those mates ,
like us .
First day out at NCMP for the year this past Saturday. This was last session of the day, on random old tires, and the track was actually quite fast. Kart felt hooked up, and engine was on point with a cylinder that was freshly replated. Felt good to be back!
New videos on the way from our race weekend at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, but for now, a little slow-mo action.
Ahhhhhh…zoooooop! Love the sounds
Sunday was the first club race of the season at NCMP. Though technically race #2, race #1 was previously cancelled due to stormy weather that weekend. Conditions were interesting throughout the day, with the track being very wet in the morning, and ambient temps around 40* F. We had a drying track in qualifying and were able to run slick tires. That went fine, but I hadn’t yet added any ballast to my kart, so I crossed the scales 8 pounds light and had to relinquish my P2 qualifying position.
Light rain resumed and many classes were on wet tires for their main events. I was set up for full wet, and then switched BACK to slick tires at the last minute. The driver on outside pole elected for wet tires, which did him well for about half a lap lol. Chassis was quite good, though I probably was a bit overkill on the setup and could have gone back closer to a dry setup.
Here’s the video…the pole sitter got dumped in T1, and then the dumper seemed to have a technical issue after lap 2. Spicy first lap, and was able to build about a 6-second gap to P2 over the 10 lap race. Looking forward to warmer weather!
Lap times show how slick the track was, as the kart didn’t come in until later in the run, and we were about 2 seconds off of what a good lap time would be under ideal conditions.
was it a combined class race? Never seen NCMP do a KZ start rolling.
I was going to say the same thing. I believe it was combined.
They’ve done rolling starts in the past when kart count was low, and in this case we had a few folks defer their entries due to the wet weather. Also, there were some 80cc Junior entries, which were not especially comfortable with a standing start. No big deal for me either way. With it being slick I just tried to avoid any first corner carnage 
yeah no kidding.. that looked like quite the Lap 1. haha
