New to Kart Racing

[pvillarino]

Hello everyone my name is Paul, i want to start kart racing, i actually went to cocos today at 6:30 like the site said for the monthly meeting but no one was there, at least the pumpkin pie was good! I want to start by the next season so i guess money is what i have to start planning out, i would like to buy a cart or start building one, what should be my budget, here is a little more info on me

5"11
235 pounds,
age 19

I am a knowledgeable guy when it comes to fixing things and cars are my thing so doing the dirty work should not be an issue. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! ;D

Hi Paul,,

The Forum is slow right now do to the fact SDKA is in the middle of the off season.
Look for a 125 TAG Kart. For your size you will be in the TAG masters class if you plan on racing.
Read up and learn about the TAG kart, there is allot info out there.
In our area the Rotax engine is popular and easy to get support with. You can find Karts for sale here locally. Check the Clasified section on the site, sometimes you can find some good package deals that will save you allot of time and money. Everone at SDKA is very helpful and would happy to help you get started. We can set up a practice day at Apex if you want, and help you get rolling!
Hope you get involved,,it's sooo fun!
