First thing to do is saving weight. When my boy was racing Comer cadet we managed to reduce the kart weight by 5kg. Finding 5kg weight saving on a cadet kart is very hard, but possible, you need to look at every component (and I mean everything!) and find a lighter alternative or cut, grind everything down to the bare minimum. Replace all nuts and bolts with lighter versions.

Next wear lighter race clothing & helmet and don't wear anything under your race suite (even socks and knickers :)).

Then make sure your engines are on par with others.
