Definately depends on the track. We race on several road courses where the straights are very long (one almost 9/10ths of a mile). Drafting not only helps but is essential if you want to stay up front, if you get left out of the draft you will not catch back up by yourself, but if you can get one or two guys to work with you, you will see 5-6 mile an hour difference at the far end of the straight. Our sanctioning body allows pushing, some don't, and 2-3 karts together pushing WILL make a huge difference. Head tuck works for some of the taller guys, if you are short enough to get behind the nassau panel then you don't need to tuck. Again, some sanctioning bodies do not allow head tucking and will DQ you if caught, very important to be clear on the rules beforehand.
