I too am a Kart racer and have witnessed many of the experiances you describe. I race indoors and outdoors regularly and in equal measure. On the outdoor circuit I tend to find a far different breed of driver from those who race indoors. Many of those who race indoors are often the 'boy racer' types who turn up in their tuned 12 year old vauxell nova's, giving it plenty, but then having little real speed on track.
It is from Karting that I have got my appreciation of JPM. When I win a race having maybe not got corner quite right for the whole event, or having knocked someone else wide as I went to overtake, then I will be disappionted. JPM said recently; "I want to get home and say I won because I was the quickest guy out there, not because I took that other guy out". This is a way of thinking I greatly admire.
