Session

The session.

The same order in Austin, Irvine, Atlanta, and Chicago. Lobby, briefing, then the hall. A lap is four moves: straight, brake, apex, exit.

01

Straight

Full throttle only when the wheel is straight. This is the speed. Lifting here is how a lap gets slow.

02

Brake

One firm press before the corner, not a trail of small ones in it. The nose goes light if you brake and turn together.

03

Apex

Look through the barrier, not at it. Late eyes make a late kart.

04

Exit

Unwind the wheel and let it pull. The next straight starts at the exit, not at the paint.

01

Arrive

Lobby first. Closed shoes, long pants, hair tied. You are not late if you are early for the briefing. You are late if you miss it.

Arrive
02

Brief

Flags, the brake point, and how a pass is made. Helmet on when you are told. The group does not wait.

Brief
03

Drive

Straight, brake, apex, exit. The kart is quick because it is light. Leave the helmet on until you are out.

04

Write

After the lap, write if you want another time. Name the hall and what you want to know.
