Why?
Narrowing the rear track will make the rear bite into the track and sometimes provide more rear grip.
However, avoid continually narrowing the rear track to obtain more grip as you will find that only so much
grip can be obtained and you will then be upsetting the balance of the kart making it much more unstable
and difficult to drive.
