Sprint Kart Racing, 1st Race this year..
Had my first race this year at my local track!! Willow springs raceway!
Finished 2nd out of 9. Im pretty stoked although I was 3/10 a sec behind first I think i did ok for not driving in 4 months!! I ran Tag light with my rotax engine and yes the rotax's were out front and the leopards were in the back! lololol.. here is a couple pics!! ![]()

Nice. Can you tell me how hard it is to get involved in Kart racing? I keep buying cars like my old Evo to run Time Attacks but I was thinking it might be more cost effective to get into Kart racing.

u need to learn how a chassis works and the adjustments for thats what helps u win races. like anything practice makes perfect..I try to practice twice a month basically racing against my lap times and trying to stay consistent with them! Your only costs are your entry fee, ususally 60$, Gas-25$, tires-175$ so its really not that expensive to race once you got the kart! I have 2 karts I might be selling one really soon if your serius hit me up I could work out something for you..

http://rmaxchallenge.com/page.cfm?content=9 and I saw that the cost seems to be fairly inexpensive ... How many races are there per year regionally? |
