I remember going to an Agile conference in London in 2017 where Belinda Waldock talked about how she'd used the Scrum framework to write her book. Recently, it occurred to me that I could take some of the things I loved about Agility and Scrum and apply those to my Karting career. After a bit of thought, I decided that I wanted to take the 3 pillars of Scrum - transparency, inspection and adaption and apply them to racing. It seemed clear to me that using data would help me improve - it works for my engineers after all.

The first challenge was to collect some data. In hire karts, there's practically nothing available so I had to invest a lot of time into collecting it myself - racing once a month, it took me about 6 months to get a reliable setup using a GoPro Silver, my iPhone 6 and a Dual GPS receiver I got second hand on eBay. Using these I was able to record video as well as speed, position on track, steering and acceleration. Through an app on my phone I could superimpose the data onto the video and through a separate desktop app I could use proper data, collected at race tracks to analyse my performance - directly comparing the data from one lap overlaid on to another. What was so good about my fastest lap - what had I done differently? What was the affect of changing my braking point in a particular corner? Now I could answer those questions. I'm using empirical data to drive continual improvement in my driving.
One of the first problems I identified in my racing was an inconsistency in my preparation for a meeting. As we already now, great engineering teams are built on discipline and great racing drivers are no different. How to enforce discipline in my preparation? The same way as with an engineering team - I wrote myself both a Definition of Ready and a Definition of Done. As you can see below, they're pretty simple but they get the job done - just like the ones we use with engineering teams. I keep them in a template in Notion along with other notes so I can cross them off as they're done.
For the transparency pillar I decided that I'd share what I learned at each meeting through the normal social channels as well as my website: By writing it down I would show others what I was doing and could also hold myself to account. I'd also share race replays from the GoPro and, later from my PS4 with a detailed commentary on my website.
Another item I borrowed from Scrum was the idea of the retrospective. I treated every race meeting as an iteration and retrospected on it. Sometimes I used a simple method - other times I went a bit more funky like my story cube retro. By looking at each meeting soon after it ended I could use both the data and how I felt about it to change how I drove. And yes, each retrospective resulted in a set of actions that I had to carry out.
In February I decided to take part in Racing Mentors #FastFeb. It was a guided set of social media posts designed to increase engagement across the various platforms. One particular day, the topic was brand. I started to think about what my brand was when it came to racing. I struggled to define it initially until I came back to the Agile Manifesto.... so I wrote my own manifesto for racing.
At the end of the championship season I looked at the data provided by the circuits I'd raced at and used the data to try and define how I had improved over the season and establish some KPIs that I could use to measure performance for the 2020 season. There was a lot of number crunching involved but was immensely satisfying to see the improvement in my driving as indisputable facts.
Following my approach I've seen my performances improve massively. When I started, I was qualifying at my local track, Bayford Meadows in Kent, around p10. A year later and with a lot of data and hard work behind me I am consistently qualifying in the top 3 although I have yet to bag a pole position. My finishing positions are similar - no wins yet but more than a few P3s.
Since the lockdown I've been doing a lot of sim-racing on my PS4 on Gran Turismo. There's a limited amount of data available on the platform but it has helped to keep my hand in. I've loved driving that Corvette around some of the greatest tracks in the world and it has started me thinking about sponsorship and taking my journey further. Perhaps one day I can drive a real Corvette around Le Mans as a gentleman driver rather than just on my PS4?
I'm completely new to this sport. I bought a 2005 YZ250F that had been sitting for a couple of years. I rebuilt the carb and checked the valves, it can be hard to start when cold but does eventually fire up. I let it warm up on the choke and then set the idle with the choke off.
On my first visit to the track, I took off and rode through 4-5 corners (first time ever riding, I was going really, really, really slow!) Pulling into the next corner it felt like the throttle was stuck open as the bike kept accelerating. I dumped it/bailed off in the corner and it was still racing until I hit the kill button. I wheeled it back into the pits and adjusted the throttle back down to a reasonable place. I took off again and this time it died and wouldn't restart until I turned the idle adjustment back up, or gave it gas on the throttle. Then while sitting (and not even touching the throttle) it started to race again.
It basically seemed like there was a fast idle kicking in and then it would kick down to a regular idle. If I adjusted the idle knob while it was on fast idle, it would die when it kicked down, but if I adjusted it while it was kicked down it would then race on to the fast idle. It seemed to be totally random. It made it really hard for me to ride because I kept being nervous going into a corner that it was going to try and take off on me.....
Damn! I was really careful about trying to put this back in the right direction.... but you may be right. I'm a rookie and it's possible that during the 5-6 times I had the carb off and apart that it got flipped. I'll check it. Thank you.
The hot start is all new but the o ring does seem a little odd. What order does it the cable/piston/oring get installed in? Does the o ring sit on top of the piston or below it? Which direction does the oring go in?
That's the plunger and nut that I've got but mine is cable operated and a little lever on the clutch side bars. I see I'm missing a spring and it makes sense why the oring shouldn't be there. I had it on top of the plunger but it didn't seem right. I don't think it effected anything though.
Alright, replaced the hot start mechanism (with a spring this time.) Replaced the throttle slide seal. Made sure everything was buttoned up..... Bike started right away, idled fine once it was off choke but about 6-7 minutes later it started racing again. Turned down the throttle, rode it around the yard a little bit and it died (too low of idle.) I just can't find the sweet spot..... either it is racing or it will die.
You will need a deck of cards. Remove all Aces, Kings and Jokers before shuffling and dealing. The horses number 2 through 12, so Jack is 11 and Queen is 12. In our play, each player got four cards, including the dealer. The rules I have recommend dealing all cards, but this is not a good idea at a low player count like four. You will discover why soon.
To begin, all horses start at the gate. Four horses must be scratched and removed from the race. The dealer rolls the dice and the horse matching the number rolled (between 2 and 12) is sent to the number 1 scratched spot. The dealer repeats rolling until 3 more horses are scratched in each of the 2, 3 and 4 spots. As this scratching takes place, players remove those cards from their hands.
Once this is complete, the dealer starts the race by rolling once again. If they roll one of the non-scratched horses, they move that horse up one space and closer to victory. If they roll a scratched horse, they must pay into the pot either 1, 2, 3 or 4 depending upon which place the horse is in the scratched list.
If you are playing the version where you dealt four cards to each player, the players with winning cards will split the pot based on how many winning cards there are. If you dealt all the cards to the players then you will always split the pot into 4 parts and distribute to those with the winning cards. Alternatively if you have four cards you could still split the pot into four and let any parts not claimed ride into the next race.
The Racing Horse Game is very simple to learn, so we were all on board almost instantly. If you are starting out with a bunch of people, maybe do one single practice race where bets go directly in front of people (to easily reclaim) in order to teach the game.
At some point, I think each of us was broke (some of us multiple times). We are a really chill game group so we just let those people continue play without paying in. We had gigantic swings. This game is very luck-centric.
There are times when you have one chip left and you just manage to squeak by anyway, without losing it. Kind of like bungee jumping where it looks like you may hit the bottom but then you fly so high. But eventually you settle near the bottom again. 152ee80cbc
