I would like to try that, looks like fun! Especially on a rainy day!

shaun66 · 07-20-2010, 09:37 PM

Nice! Our track has that as a racing class now. They're called chondas at our track lol. On a sunny day we get 15 of those at the track its awsome

I just got my second kart, its a shifter kart like you see in the videos..if they work haha. The pics are of my first kart.

shaun66 · 07-20-2010, 09:46 PM

This is an old overview of the track

HOLY sh*t! I have never seen wheel come off before. Thank god for neck braces!

wow.. those 125cc karts are awesome. How much are these karts? I'm so tempted to buy one

shaun66 · 07-20-2010, 10:02 PM

Yeah they rip your neck off dude trust me. Unfortunately the fastest ones are also the most expensive

. New ones cost like 8 grand lol. We got a used on off ebay for $3500 or something, you gotta look for the deals, we looked for 3 months before buying.

I recommend going to a track that does monthly club races and seeing which racing classes are most popular and just ask around on race days.

AK, a good, competitive, used 125cc gearbox (shifty) Kart goes for about $6000 to $8000, plus the expense and up-keep of running them... gas, tires, driving gear, frequent engine rebuilds, etc... It can get expensive.

I have 5 national and 3 international Karting championships back in my teen days.

Scott @ RA · 07-20-2010, 10:10 PM

Nice pics Shaun, looks like fun.... brings back some good memories for me too.

shaun66 · 07-20-2010, 10:14 PM

Yeah Im doing a bit of regional racing and i go to every club race right now. Maybe a national race in my future

Edited version of the wheel coming off haha

That's cool. hmmm as much as I love driving them, it seems like an expansive hobby to buy one. There's an Adult league in NJMP and MAGP (indoor). It'll probably be much cheaper.

That's awesome reaction time!

shaun66 · 07-20-2010, 10:30 PM

yeah karting isn't cheap once you get competitive like Scott said. The chonda class is the only "cheap" one which is a $200 honda motor and the cheapest used chassis you can find! Which is why it caught on so easily

My dad is thinking about starting chonda
