    I wish the track material at this track was asphalt as opposed to concrete. Concrete is a bit too slippery so going hard in corners the cart had a bit of understeer.
    Asphalt would be too grippy I feel, concrete really changes the dynamic of driving. To fight the understeer, give the cart just a tap of brakes to get the weight transfer right as you enter the corner, you'll notice the whole front end grips right up and you'll have much less understeer.

    • When I race at the indoor track which is polished concrete I usually just try and do a big entry down the straight into the hair pin.

      Surprising that was one corner i was not loosing time on even when drifting.

      I have a GoPro video but it takes ages to upload, it has me throwing the cart in down the straight and trying to tap the wall with the rear bumper and then slide into the corner.

      • I feel like drifting is half the fun.

        You guys would lose your minds racing ATV's. An unlimited amount of freedom and fun.

          Thanks for the tip. I'll have to give that a shot next week when I'm back up there. They have a membership you can buy that gives you a discount each time you go and race. I think I am going to look into doing that. lol

            I've always wanted to race sleds. Good lord would that be fun, but ridiculously expensive.

              • Nah some times you want at least some kind of a track to follow.

                I find actually racing carts really fun, i love the battles and trying to do a clean overtake. It is as close as you can get to door-to-door racing without spending much money.

                        After racing dirt bikes and ATV's, and riding sleds for a number of years, I can tell you one thing.

                        It's really fucking expensive.

                        There are ATV tracks, that's kind of what I was referring to. Usually there's a lot more unpredictability that goes with it though- tracks change on a lap-to-lap basis, and you have to pick a line very carefully.

                          lol

                          My parents did that to me a couple weeks ago as well, except they were in Aruba.

                          I can't complain too much though. They are pretty much paying for an entire cruise in August. lol

                              Yeah man. They say one lap on a snowcross sled is about $10 between fuel costs (race gas) and maintaining the sled.
