Lapped karts

I guess they could start having kart drag races instead of oval track racing for those who don't want to actually race. Yes the fastest karts would still win but nobody would be traumatized by having to pass someone.

Name any other motorsport that penalizes the fast guys for being fast?
Maybe you should go drag racing if you can't keep up in oval racing.
Or maybe build your own track and give everyone a trophy
 
Its not about penalizing guys for being fast and you know it. Its about putting on a real race. Youve been around racing long enough to know that back in the day, and when grandstands were full at even the weekly races, it was normal for tracks to invert fields fully. It wasn't until race cars became store bought and the couple of new guys whose daddys spent a boatload of money to see their kid race only to discover the kid can't drive started threatening track promotors to not come back to their track to race unless he could start up front. Promotors, not wanting to see $$$ slipping away, caved. And so did attendance numbers.

At our local asphalt car track, the top 3 finishers for today's race will draw pills for the last three spots on the next race.

I actually brought up to the track owner about inverting the field from the heat to the feature on the next race. It is to be discussed during the next driver's meet. Problem with this is you will run into sand bagging during the heat
 
As long as they keep holding their same line lap after lap they should keep racing. Leaders should be capable of knowing how to pass them. If running for points that could be racingvanother lapped kart as well.
