It's all about the numbers. Racing costs money. The trick is spending it the right way. Epilogue. Seat time is what everyone wants. Seat time without some coaching and direction just ends up with you learning bad habits that will be really hard to get rid off. Unstructured track time is a massive waste of time, effort and money. Get some time with a coach, and then practice what you're told. You'll get better, faster and enjoy your racing more. Even if you just kart for fun - get a bit of coaching and you'll enjoy it much more... (and you won't end up angering other drivers due to your poor track craft wrecking their sessions!).

To get the most of your kart, learn what it does and how it does it. Don't just drive it. There's more to it than pedals and a steering wheel. The whole kart is a dynamic piece of kit, and understanding that is important. 👀👉 See my Bio https://linktr.ee/alexblackracing for links to my YouTube & other social media content.📽 👍 Please like/share/follow – Thank you. 👏🤙🕶👌👍 -----------‐------------------------------- Dream Big – Aim High – Achieve Greatness – Stay Humble 🏎Open to sponsorship offers.🏎 #AlexBlackRacing #RaptorRacewear #Shugsteshtpilot #ShugsProteam #UsedByChampions #Kart #KingOfShades #KingOfShaves #MSUK  #MyCodeZero #MSKart #racing #RacingPride #RacingPrideUK #Rotax #Shugs #ShugLife #WrightRacingEngines #Tillett #Rideworx #WhiltonMill #MotorsportUK #Insta360 #JDR  #JackDexRacing #NKC https://www.instagram.com/p/CTnOLSksGpV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Been a bit busy sorting out school work for my exam year, and also clearing out old kart stuff. Found a message that I put under my old seat incase I flipped the kart!!

It's all about the numbers. Part 2 of 2. Racing costs money. The trick is spending it the right way. It's important to listen to advice - but you can have too much. There are many ways to set up a kart and approach racing techniques, and each coach/team/instructor you meet may have great success... BUT their styles and set ups might not work if you listen to a bit of one, and a bit of a different person... and try to mix them up. I would say advice given on the Internet might work for some karts/people, but not for all. I'm not saying some of the advice is wrong - but it might be wrong for you. I read many arguments about do this or do that... and both sides might have great success with what they are saying... but unless you follow one of them completely, and set everything up like they do... then it might be terrible for you. My dad explained: It's a bit like two people telling you the best thing to add to improve a sandwich. One says hot mustard, and one says chocolate spread. Those people (and half the Internet!) will then argue which is best... but if my sandwich has beef in it, then only the mustard is going to work! Find one coach/instructor and stick with them. You can listen to other advice - it might be helpful, and some of it is generic - but your coach is the one you need to follow. He makes the whole sandwich... I use @j_dex of @jackdexracing for coaching. Coaches have different styles, and I like his. I've not had problems with other coaches - they've helped me, I liked them and I would recommend them - I just seem to 'get' Jack better. 👀👉 See my Bio https://linktr.ee/alexblackracing for links to my YouTube & other social media content.📽 👍 Please like/share/follow – Thank you. 👏🤙🕶👌👍 -----------‐------------------------------- Dream Big – Aim High – Achieve Greatness – Stay Humble 🏎Open to sponsorship offers.🏎 #AlexBlackRacing #RaptorRacewear #Shugsteshtpilot #ShugsProteam #UsedByChampions #Kart #KingOfShades #KingOfShaves #MSUK  #MyCodeZero #MSKart #racing #RacingPride #RacingPrideUK #Rotax #Shugs #ShugLife #WrightRacingEngines #Tillett #Rideworx #WhiltonMill #MotorsportUK #Insta360 #JDR  #JackDexRacing #NKC https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCWoH8tJXi/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's all about the numbers. Part 1 of 2. Racing costs money. The trick is spending it the right way. The best investment is in coaching. £100 spent on a session with a coach will give you more gains than £100 spent on 'go faster' bits for your kart and engine. Who taught me this... It must surely be my coach because he'd benefit from this advice! Nope. It was my engine builder He'd rather people learnt to race properly, to then get the most out of the engine, than to waste money on an engine that you can't race the best out of. This, and the fact he makes fantastic engines and gives all kinds of great advice, is why I use @wrengines. Engines... Don't ask the Internet how much oil to use, or what make... ask your engine builder. They will have set the engine up to run a specific way. I always follow what @colinwright43 tells me to do with my engine, and it always performs strongly. If you don't follow your engine builders advice, you might end up spending lots of money on repairs... 👀👉 See my Bio https://linktr.ee/alexblackracing for links to my YouTube & other social media content.📽 👍 Please like/share/follow – Thank you. 👏🤙🕶👌👍 -----------‐------------------------------- Dream Big – Aim High – Achieve Greatness – Stay Humble 🏎Open to sponsorship offers.🏎 #AlexBlackRacing #RaptorRacewear #Shugsteshtpilot #ShugsProteam #UsedByChampions #Kart #KingOfShades #KingOfShaves #MSUK  #MyCodeZero #MSKart #racing #RacingPride #RacingPrideUK #Rotax #Shugs #ShugLife #WrightRacingEngines #Tillett #Rideworx #WhiltonMill #MotorsportUK #Insta360 #JDR  #JackDexRacing #NKC https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCUyJ_n6-C/?utm_medium=tumblr
