Default Re: How To Brake?

So last weekend I tried to shake off the rust and go racing at Mid Ohio.

The driving part was fine. Unfortunately the chassis and engine tuning side of it was a complete disaster. Things started to click inside my head about 24 hours AFTER the weekend...

As the saying goes, there's a race happening, I'm just not in it.

The race line is still appropriate. If you watch and listen closely in the video of the lap, you will be able to tell the chassis is binding up in the rear on track out from the apex, putting me 30 ft down on the competition every lap in the tighter corners, and that the kart probably has too much Ackerman causing the turn in looseness.
