Keeping the throttle on when braking, maintains the engine speed (revs) thus improving initial acceleration when coming off the brakes

But you're right it does fuck up the kart - but its not yours, its their's

True, but if you do it the smell is unmistakable, and ultimately you're going to lose more time if you break the kart which people did.

You did see some real plebs at the track - some would stop the kart but keep their foot on the accelerator, or the best was a big fat guy who leaned into the corners to try and get more grip and sort of half fell out his kart.  Cupid stunt!
