Karting?

The question always comes up-How do I get started in karting? My best advice is to go to your local track and hang out on a practice day. Look interested in a guy's kart and he'll normally tell you all about it. I've spent hours and hours talking to guys that were just curious about them while I'm working on mine and probably half a dozen of them now race. As a general rule, karters are really nice people and love to sucker other guys in (errr...I mean get others involved in this great sport). You'll learn more at the track in a day than you can in a month of reading about it online. It's also a great way to find out about good deals on used equipment. And if you really want to get in someone's good graces, help them lift their kart onto the stand.

Shaun - has that been your experience in the best way to get started?
