You now know why we have a minimum weight limit.

A kid who weighed 10kgs less than the next one (if there was no min weight limit) would win every race!

You have to think about what weight (errr..... it's actually the MASS.... not the weight) DOES to a kart. Put simply, it doesn't just have ONE effect it has at least FOUR....

1) It makes it harder to accelerate
2) It makes it harder to BRAKE
3) It makes it harder for the kart to go LEFT
4) It makes it harder for the kart to go RIGHT

Because your son is not feeling a CHANGE in handling means that you have placed the weight WELL on the chassis. You've placed it almost at the Centre of Gravity (C. of Force, for precision) and thus he can't feel the alteration in handling.

All you NOW have got to do is to find out how to make him quicker by improving his engine's power (acceleration), his ability to brake, and to go left and right to make UP for the 10kgs which make him 'legal'...

...... That's what the others (the leaders) have already done......

I don't dare ask how you found out that he'd be as quick as the leaders IN a race by running 10 KGs bewlow the legal minimum.....
