When I first started racing karts I was told if you don't flat foot the kart you will get out ran. I run a predator class on a 1/4 mile track and have only raced 4 times. I lift off the gas going into the turns then about halfway through the corners I give it all she's got. My last race I had a pretty comfortable lead so I started experimenting, I tried flat footing the kart and could feel my motor bogging down pretty bad. That being said one of my teammates flat foots his and has no loss of lap times. We are on the same tires and prep but he race a class that is 25 lbs heavier.
I realize that this is a long open question but I can't figure out why his doesn't bog like mine
