I found that it was extremely beneficial to watch alot of races, walk the pits, ask questions and hopefully find a racer that will befriend you and help with your kart. Ryan Erskine has been a huge help to me.

[@kart6t3_ben]

Ryan is a good dude for sure!

Nice hoodie

[@kart6t3_ben]

Comfy and fast. 😆

[@davidmorgan199]

Correct, hold your line.. it also helps to have a competent flagman, if he shows you the flag soon enough you can creep up to give the leaders room... it also helps for newer racers to sit and watch other classes and see where the fast karts are running on the track..

Great point

As someone who's cost someone a big money race(sorry #41, still feel pretty bad about that one 😅) getting lapped sucks, but definitely try to get up and out of the way, it's a terrible feeling to mess up the outcome of a race like that. Ben is right though, once they go by try to settle in behind them and mimic what they're doing, they may have found the speed you needed and you'll learn a few things.
Looking forward to racing with you this year if or when you run AMS!
Love the videos, keep them coming!

Thank you very much

I missed out on what was likely to be my first win because of a lapper. It was a bummer, it sucked but it was. I was that guy in my 2nd ever race, thankfully not costing KJ88 a win. The race I lost, I couldn’t be mad. I learned later to bump them or move them because they don’t always know you’re there.

[@kart6t3_ben]

Dang that’s rough.

[@billcyr5588]

When I got started I got lapped for most of the races I ran.. I did the best I could to stay out of the way of the leaders for sure.

[@kart6t3_ben]

It’s a tough thing to deal with.

[@jvhester79]

Good stuff man. Keep up the good work. We Enjoy these videos.

[@kart6t3_ben]

Thank you very much.

[@Notkyusei]

I don't get lapped because I stick my arm out and put it on the front of there kart so they can't lap me..... I was told to stop doing it😅

[@kart6t3_ben]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jvhester79]

How do you not get discussed when 1st starting out????? Sucks no one wants to tell you about gearing or tires or even driving line well at least around here they wont..

[@kart6t3_ben]

Yeh that’s a bummer. Wish more people would help.
