Does look quick with your ass that far from the ground.
I always get angry because they've no power and you can't drive sloppy

Looks good.
I get super pissed off at karting. Went with work a few times and you can have the fastest lines and be the cleanest driver out there yet the results still come in with who ever weighs the least wins.
I'm 6"3 and almost 16 stone versus 9 stone whippets and it is a bit of a disadvantage.

Looks like a good lay out and it's much bigger than the larbert track.

This is why Half Pint is so good.

I dont think being light is an advantage. I always find being light makes the kart less grippy and oversteer more, it marginally helps on straights but not by much.

true but even if he doubled in weight (to about 14 stone) he'd still be quick

in the rain yes
in the dry, extra mass does nothing than lower the power to weight, making you slower, simple physics

i've lost about 3/4 of a stone recently and seemed to be slower than normal
I won the battle of the losers! So 6th out of 10.
Fee came 3rd 
Its high speed corners that I can normally do well on, but this track had some pretty tight corners that I just bog down
