lmao, Action Park in NJ used to have carts at their amusment park, the engine had a governor on the throttle but I noticed if you bent it the throttle would open wide. They threw up a bunch of cones as I came around and forced me off the track when they saw me going twice as fast as everyone else ..."banned for life" rofl

^^^ ouch...
I am thinking of buying a shifter kart.
Heard it was the most purest form of racing... Well see. lol
What would you say it would cost you to maintain one of these things..
Yearly...?

Thank you for the pics
As for maintenance is just depends on how competitive you wanna be. Tires are $250 a set then you've got fuel, gearbox, oils and brakes. What breaks the bank is an engine rebuild every season

As for purest form of racing i can agree to that

This is awesome! I wish I got into karting at a young age. I've been going recently to an indoor track with friends and its way more fun than I've ever had in a car. How much would it cost to buy these "chonda" cheapo karts. I want to get into karting but I don't have deep pockets or that much time to commit.

My dream is to have some property with a karting track and a bunch of karts to run on weekends with friends haha.

BTW. what exactly are you doing in the first picture with your right hand on the motor?

Well you can get the motor at harbor freight with a coupon for like a $100 and then an old chassis for like $500 and Bam! gokart! Then you need helmet, suit, transportation and some regular pump gas and your pretty much good to go!

My Dad said the same thing to me he wants to get a lot of land and build a racetrack in his backyard when he retires lol.

In that first pic i'm leaning out the motor by adjusting the low speed jetting on the carburetor. So when we get to the line i won't bog down at the start and then I'll turn it back and dump more fuel into to the engine and go fasta after the start!
