If you've never run it, the Ackerman shouldn't matter. Adjust it to neutral and go from there. Just come to Lakeland this Sunday and have fun. You'll run novice and be on the coarse alone for all of your runs. Noone will laugh, you'll have fun, and there will surely be other cart guys there that can give you some good feedback on their ACKERMAN settings.

Bring a Snell rated helmet and some $$.
