These are indoor karts so I doubt weather would have so much influence. As always, some karts are better, some are worse, and traffic can influence your times a lot.

Other than, it probably boils down to what do you call "wild" variations.

At Manassas, I did 15 races (including an enduro) after track acid wash that was done around January 30th, and my best lap times were 20.735 to 21.528 s, so that's less than 4% difference. And I am not the most consistent racer.

Before the acid wash my best lap times there were 21.813 to 24.878. but that includes learning the track early and driving in heavy traffic sometimes. League races (so after learning the track and no slow traffic) were 21.813 to 22.806 over 36 races (4.5% difference).

I'll remember that. In April I'm going to race at Buckmore Park in the UK https://www.buckmore.co.uk/
