Re: george question about work you did for me

Tom,
 Shifter cart racing is very big out here, and in other parts of the
country.
Tony Kart is a very popular brand around here, sells for over 10K new, over
5K used, reaches speeds of well over 100 mph. Come with Honda, Rotax,
Vortex, Kawasaki and Yamaha watercooled motors.
There are several different brands to choose from, all priced over $7K.
There are viturally dozens of different Karting clubs throughout the
country. Classes for every age group.
The International Karting Federation (IKF) is the most prominate sanctioning
body in America, but certainly not the only body to choose from.
You can find out more by surfing the web. It is not difficult to find
something local to your area, then go attend an event to see what they
offer.

BTW, I have a nice 100cc Comet powered Emmick, non-shifter, 65 mph Kart for
sale, with 2 new engines (1 spare Yamaha motor, complete with carb and
clutch), Spares include, kart stand, tire bead breaker, sprokets, and
elecrtic starter and misc tools and pieces. $1500.00 for all of it. Great
condition, never bent or wrecked.

So, you see, an entry level racing cart can be fairly cheap, but I also know
people who race for championships that spend well over 50K per year doing
it.

It is not all that "layed back" of a sport though. It can be very intense.
