Do you have any video? I want to see the track layout :excited:

Here's a vid from last session:
Straight: (I had a kart didn't accelerate, turn or even brake well. Hence the bad time) :shakes head:



REVERSE

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

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:stirthepot:





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.

Thats a nice track layout nice and wide!

:eek: :eek: 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 :excited:

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. :driving:

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

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



Edited version of the wheel coming off haha

:tup: 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.

:icon18: :bowrofl::bowrofl: That's awesome reaction time!

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:tup:

My dad is thinking about starting chonda:eekdance::happydance:

AK, I was 'Banned for life" from the carts at Action Park! :driving:
