Weight of kart

[34karting34]

Track near me races only adult class for age range at a light weight. I’m weighting in at 60 pounds over the min weight. I get pulled bad on restarts and getting dusted in the races. Iv tried gearing differently but nothing seems to help am I just to over weight for the class?

60 lbs is a lot to give up.

It depends on the type of track.
If the track is shaped like a paperclip (2 drag races and 2 brake tests) you are in trouble)
If it's more of a oval shape and you don't lose much in the corners you will fair better but you will need to have the kart and driving spot on.

If anyone tells you 60Lbs don't matter, tell them to put 120Lbs on the top of the seat and race you at 60Lbs over. You need to race a different class if you want a chance to win.
