Why are the rears IN as far as they can go?

Use logic. If the kart was only 1 foot wide at the rear, you'd EXPECT the rear to lift (leading to 'hop') at 2 mph on any corner. If it was 20 ft wide, you'd need SPECTACULAR cornering force to make it lift AT ALL. Thus we can see that narrow rear will cause lift, leading to 'hop'.

Widen it!

If you want a deeper explanation of 'hop', I'll post one.
