Fine-tuning processes and programs is key to success. The recent Drive Your Line Podcast resonates deeply with the vision I had when founding Drive Your Line, KartSport LLC five years ago. It's all about aligning our steps for the future.

In the world of karting, reaching the top level comes at a high cost. Families invest significantly, often in the low to mid six figures, aiming for that podium finish. While money plays a role in reaching the pinnacle, talent is equally vital. Strategic funding and a clear roadmap from point A to point C are crucial for success, and that's exactly what we offer now.

Your Line KartSport, LLC, guides individuals from their initial laps in a kid kart to competing in sports cars or formula car events. Remember, this isn't limited to drivers; track staff and team crew members are also in demand.

Motorsports Talent Development equips the next generation with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to uplift grassroots motorsports. Our MTD Program provides hands-on training in real-world settings across the nation, nurturing the future of motorsports.

Gratitude to David Tuaty, TLM Racing, and FARA Racing for their collaboration! Our karts to cars program, with structured guidelines, supports aspiring drivers and pit crew members in their journey to auto racing. From budgeting to social media strategies, we cover it all.

Exciting times lie ahead as we finalize our marketing and sponsorship deck. Seeking sponsors of all sizes to join us in shaping the future of motorsport. Youth represents the driving force of tomorrow's racing world, and today, we build the gateway for the next generation!

Let's talk
rather than later if you are interested in this movement. After 52 years in motorsports, THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE, is one of the most exciting concepts to come to light! JOIN ME!

TODAY FOLKS!!!!!! 3 PM CST 4 EST

08/18/2025

Are sprint drivers too aggressive? Is rough driving the problem? Weak penalties? Are teams afraid that if the penalties were more strict or harsh, they would lose customers? Are series promoters afraid racers will threaten not to show up if penalties match the infractions on track?

Let's talk about it!

Then we will kick it into another gear when Chairman of the Board Mike Tetreault with World Karting Association joins me. We will be talking about all of the updates for 2025 Daytona KartWeek at Daytona International Speedway

Tomorrow 3:00 PM CST or 4 PM EST watch live right here!

The Lost Art of Black Flagging
Somewhere along the way, tracks got soft on rough driving. Well—some tracks did.

A couple years back at Perris, I was surprised to hear the booth straight-up warning drivers during a race about rough driving. They were borderline yelling, maybe even belittling them. "XX, what the hell are you doing out there?!'

Back when I first started in the 90s, it wasn’t the towers job, it was the flagman. If you got out of line, that black flag would be pointed at you, no hesitation. And that was usually enough to straighten a guy up.

I remember one night on the Triple 33, an official came to me during intermission and said, “If you keep hitting people, you’re done.” And all I was doing was tapping on the straightaway to let them know I was there—not dumping people or using them as a backstop. Even when I ran the Sport Mod in Vegas a while back, the booth barked, “68, if you touch that car, you’re going home.” So, I didn’t touch him, I just went back to the trailer and vented to Nicole.

The point is, there used to be consequences. Sometimes you even got parked. It pi**ed guys off, sure, but it kept the racing under control. Now? You almost never see the black flag come out for rough driving. Tracks either don’t want the drama or think the wrecks are good entertainment. Problem is, when officials don’t step in, drivers police it themselves. That’s when you get the paybacks, the door slamming, and the innocent cars caught in the crossfire. Some of these paybacks carry over from previous races, so it's like an accident waiting to happen to others, who get stuck in it.

With today’s raceceiver communication, there’s really no excuse. Officials can easily warn a driver when they’re crossing the line without killing the racing. Aggressive racing is great, it’s what fans pay to see, but there’s a difference between hard racing and wrecking cars.

Maybe it’s just me getting older, but I hate fixing torn-up cars. I hate seeing other people wasting time and money fixing torn-up cars. There are better ways to spend the week than replacing sheetmetal and parts. As the late Bob Crockett once told me, "Wouldn't you rather take your wife or girlfriend to the movies?"

Bring back the black flag. I'd even settle for pretending to.

And awaaaaay we go, race fans!

Now that I don't have a knee and a back, that's giving me total fits and trying to exit my body, and I believe everyone's schedules are clear for this podcast! Let's do this!

I want to spend some time in this next podcast addressing some of the issues I see in karting. Some are good, some are bad, and others are MEH. This will be an excellent time for followers to share questions about the issues I'm highlighting. If you are going to bring in drama and nastiness, please don't. It won't be tolerated. If you have something productive to share, bring it to the podcast. We must talk about it before we can be about it, folks!

In the second 30 minutes, we will visit with the World Karting Association's Chairman of the Board, Michael Tetreault. We will talk about WKA, what's new with the organization, the latest updates on Daytona, and what you need to know as we move into 2026.

This is a very exciting podcast episode for Drive Your Line Podcast! This episode features an awesome father/son team in the racing world. Christopher and I raced against each other way back when. I don’t want to go into just how long ago that was, lol, but we always had a great time, and it was always a challenge. This father and son duo comes from a family with racing in its blood, literally. They run a successful engine-building business, and all their trades come from Christopher’s father, Henry Seay. It doesn’t matter whether it’s two-stroke or four, sprint or dirt; if the entry says “SEAY” on it, you are going to earn every lap and every position by the time the checkered flag falls. It’s such an honor to be able to connect with an old friend and his son, who is a hot shoe, or as we might say a wheel man. This episode is a must-listen for sure!
