This is fantastic. Thank you all for the thoughtful, and very descriptive responses. I am definitely looking forward to my next t/t day. Heck, my first year I had a flat cam lobe, and also had a season of wtf. So, this is much better being able to make actual adjustments, instead of being at a total...

Hi Jason, There is no real correct answer, but the easiest place to start is to find someone on the grid that's using the same model of kart to yours, and see how they have it set up. I run a Birel, and ran about the same tire pressure as you, and I too was losing rear grip towards the end of the r...

This is all great feedback.

So what I have gleamed so far;

-try higher pressures

-the vega is a hard tire that doesn't need low pressures

-try narrowing rear track


Last, what is ‘forward traction’?

This is a techy question, but specific to masters briggs. Tire Pressure? Frame set up? So far this is appearing to be straight witchcraft. I was running 11 cold all four corners, and have great traction second to 6/7'th lap, then it just disappears. I have the required tire, but on a 7" rim, so...

is an ASN licensce a requirement to race? Have not found it written anywhere as mandatory, so confused as to it's purpose or reason for existence.

Hello, I have two sets of rear wheels, one is 7” the other is 6”. I am mounting up the 11/6 vega greens, and am curious which wheel to use. I have seen people running a drifter stretch, and others not. I am led to believe a stretch eliminates sidewall flex and therefore grip? Last, does my wheel nee...

Perfect, thanks for both replies!

Hi. Just curious about track usage friday, and then sat/sun.

The google calender shows a race, but the location is elsewhere?

I had set my float, or so I though. But, as soon as I fired it up, it spit fuel out the overflow. There was a single grain of sand in the float needle slide bore. Have always been told, all it takes is a single grain of sand, but have never actually seen it happen.

Lastly, how many sanders do you have? Bringing? Type? Would the more the merrier, not be true?

I have a couple random orbit hand, and a belt driven.
