League nights are literally the only night they are supposed to take things 100% seriously. And you get these guys who just showed up to do their first race ever in the league and ruin it for everyone.
The reason that you are slow lap-time wise: You appear to concentrate on attaining the ultimate top speed and holding onto the throttle until the last split second. That has you going very slow at corner exit and having to wait longer to apply power again. Try braking a little earlier, making especially the tightest corners smoother, and you'll drop time by beginning to accelerate earlier. Sideways or sliding at corner exit is a time killer.
:) that was my assessment too. I used to race the 2 stroke karts. I'm like you are entering too fast and it is killing your exit. all the counter steering is ticking off time. plus, by blowing the exit, you are losing the racing line for the next corner.
Especially the sliding. Sliding just a little at corner entry can be beneficial on some turns but sliding at corner exit close to wall is a big time lose.
@125AXer & @EDnerd EXACTLY what I was coming to say as well. I raced 100cc 2-strokes & some 125 shifter a LONG time (40 years!) ago.. As our camera guy was being dropped by the lead pack, was thinking that I’d coach him to do exactly what you guys are saying 🏎️🏁
@@stevedrivingslowly9517 Same here. I didn't want to be *that guy* who pretends to be an expert and tells another driver how to be quick, so I'm really glad so many other folks identified it and (respectfully) pointed it out.
My first race, literally a couple days ago, got shown the blue flag probably a dozen times. It’s fineee I understand that people want their moneys worth through the race.
@@JohnRitchiejd23 someone is sending it more than you and you have to let them past, usually there is a blue flag when you are being lapped or when you're coming out of the pits
I went to a track once with 11 friends. They had 24 cars and by the time we left i think 9 worked. Best go kart bumper cars race of my life!! I will remember until i die! Best staff ever!
Blue flag, in any form of motor sport, is faster driver behind. Normally means you being lapped but if also, especially karting, you impeding a faster driver, and for everyone's safety, get out the fking way! 🤘
@@Riskbreaker_Riotkarting. Especially at places like this where everyone is essentially racing themselves trying to get lap times. Place where I live will let you drive a faster car if you can get a low enough lap time, but you basically have to go during off hours because stupid people who don’t know the deal think it’s the kind of kind of race where you’re fighting for 1st 2nd 3rd place, but it’s not
That is a wild crazy experience. I absolutely hate it when I go to a go-cart track and people who don’t drive or people who are not good drivers have the audacity to come to race track and think that it involves only themselves This is motorsports Respect it love it
Went with a big group of friends for my birthday to an indoor track, had a blast. 2 stoppages, 2 other “virtual safety cars”/cautions, every person had 2 crashes. We followed the rules and flags but the 2 slowest drivers were driving so erratically slowly (panicking and accelerating when they were blocking the apex causing many of us to get sandwiched with the walls at least once)……we put on quite the show for that place.
‘You take your jobs too seriously’ Nope, it’s motorsport. Motorsport is dangerous. That’s why we have rules and that’s why they’re enforced so strictly
Better to take the job too seriously than to be completely incompetent at the job, which is the problem we have with indoor kart racing in California. I used to build sick karts and race them at outdoor tracks and the level of competency and professionalism from the track staff is on a whole other level. I will never race K1 or any of these jank indoor kart places again. They are a nightmare.
It's true though. There's always a few in the tracks, at the park, in gaming that people are like wth? And the huntress, or beast caller get in there clean the whole thing up.
@@Lilman_yg Yes! lots of people take this hobby very serious as it’s the cheapest way to get seat time! I’ve owned “track cars” and this is by far the most cost effective!
As a dirt racer who has gotten the blue flag before, its more for safety. When you have cars gaining on you fast, race officals will tell you before a race even starts that if you get that flag, hold your line, leaders will be coming by you.
Funny how all the know it alls and “kart track employees” sick of people not moving over know absolutely nothing. Your comment buried like a hundred deep is the first one to actually say what the flag is for. Anyone who has ever been in the front of a race would understand this…. Blue flag with the orange diagonal means hold your current line. Why would a leader know that? Because it really sucks to DNF when the lapped car switches lanes into you trying to “get out of the way”.
Too be honest this happens more often than you think at rental tracks. I think people underestimate the difficulty and just can't take the ego hit when they are slower.
Yeah, It sucks when people don't have any racers etiquette but I also understand that these are regular people who don't know a single basic thing about motorsports
Idk why this video popped up for me but this shit is so cool, and you're a beast from what ive seen in this video... Never seen any competitive karting before but i thought you were killing it before the drama started
I used to work at a go kart track very much like this one. And honestly if you don't take the job seriously, people can and will get hurt. At a place like this, the blue flag isn't just for letting faster traffic through, but it's also a safety measure cause 99% of people racing there have 0 clue how to race safely.
Nice driving! I'm old Rotax light, shifter kart racer from way back. I use to lean opposite to corner, in the Rotax, gives outside tyre's better grip. Admittedly never tried these karts so could be different? 🤘
My cousin use to race 125s all over the country... he had Italian frames that were about 5k a pop back in the mid 90s ... we raced dirt circle tracks with alcohol brigs ... back when carting was huge ... I miss the Friday night gatherings ... all my dad's friends ran the unlimited class ... I always ran pits for them it was a blast
The few times that I have done go-karting, it was just for fun and never for competition. Like it's fun to be racing around a track against other people. Being told that you're being too slow on the track is understandable since everybody else is going like 90 miles an hour while you're going five.
Get a skateboard. Theyll start flooding in. If they somehow dont find you in the wild, just go to a Skatepark. There are always swarms of them dropping off their scooter kids
That sucks man. Over the 5 years of go-karting I’ve done, (started 11 now 16) I’ve always went to this place in Cali. There would be so many times younger drivers make us lose time and speed, spinning out in turns, but it wasn’t as bad as one time where somebody filed a lawsuit to the place I went to because their phone dropped and someone crushed it. They clearly stated in the rules to put all loose items in a small locker we have near the helmets. Another time, someone got pissed at me because I accidentally pushed him. I got rammed from behind, we were in a pile up after some kid crashed into their dad, and this guy literally got out of his car and punched me on the helmet. He was banned. I was younger at the time, but i would always be top 1000 in the US.
Nice track. Good stuff with lots of patience. I worked at 2 go-kart hire tracks over the years. You gotta respect those things. Saw a foot taken off. Fires in petrol carts. Cracked ribs… fun though… ❤😂
