4. Warm up the brakes and do a few hard stops on WARM UP lap to get a feel of brakes and how kart will handle on braking limit…..
1. Check the brakes & throttle BEFORE getting into the kart
2. During the 1st few laps, do not follow directly behind the kart in front until you know the braking points of the driver. Leave yourself room to maneuver in case he brakes too early – half a kart’s width should be sufficient.
3. Do not party too late the night before MyKart race!

OSF,
on your flags – can you elaborate who will man them and for what reasons? I know the flag meaning but who will decide? esp the black one……

[*]be prepared for the worse case scenario when you try to overtake someone or follow him/her too closely into a corner. That person might just brake for no reason and you could injure the person.
