Handicapped Karting?

[fretka]

I have a lower back issue (like many out there) and would love to get into this sport but my concern is that my back may take a punishing.
Anyone know of or heard any info on this subject?

I know the true test is to rent a kart but all opinions are welcome.

TIA....Fretka

Fretka,,
I use padding in my seat just for that reason,,many don't.
Cal Speed has some pretty decent rentle karts or even Apex.
Call ahead first before you go.
Indoor Karts seem to beat the cr-- out of me, so I'm not sure if that is a good comparison.. . Give it a try and see how it works out.
If your good to go,, pick up a Kart and come race...But before you do that, get back with us, and we can give you a few tips on what to shop for....Thx Phil
