.....do NOT start by BUYING a kart!

1) Tell us where you are
2) tell us how old you are
3) Tell us what you want from karting.
4) tell us if you have any idea of a budget.

Then.... there is a fair chance that someone will offer to meet you at a local track and show you a bit about karts and karting.

That way, you'll know what CAN be done and what can't. You may not have enough money to race or you may not even WANT to race but at least, you will see what CAN be bought for your money and there is a chance that someone will know of a kart that could suit you. If you make yourself helpful enough, you may have made some new friends who will help you CHOOSE a good kart and may be willing to come along and advise you on a specific kart that you find.

In karting, unless you have a HUGE wallet or know what you are doing, it is easy to mke a BAD mistake on what you buy!

The problems is as follows:-

If the kart you mention is LIKE that other one, it doesn't have any 'plastic' bodywork. That will mean that certain tracks will not allow you to DRIVE it there for perceived safety reason!
