Was there about a year n' a half ago, tips wouldn't go a miss either, anythin to beat a mate who's about 5ft 2" and goes like stink in a cart!! Maybe use the Scoob??

roll round the corners. Hence fast as you can then brake enough before the corner that you can roll round them, then back on the gas as soon as poss.
This saves mega time while others are pushing too hard and lose time sliding and losing momentum.

Lean forwards and into the corner then lean back on the cart, to increase weight over the back wheels, on the straights.

Thumbs up

If you lose momentum (spin on a corner etc.) bounce up and down to get back up to speed quicker...assuming you don't mind looking a complete muppet
After all, winning is everything!

Pitty i didn't read this earlier, but, when you have the
throttle totaly floored on the indoor carts, you can put the heel of your right foot on the cable, and stretch it a little--- seems to open the engine up a bit more
