potential kart racer

[Mike Heath]

Hi, I was hoping that I could get some advice and experienced opinions about getting started in kart racing? I did a little research and have decided that the rotax max class is where I want to go. I drove one at a local club practice and was surprised at the power and handling of the class. I have some experience in 600cc 4cycle motorcycle racing but don't know much about tuning 2 strokes. I'm educating myself before purchasing a kart, new/used, chasis, data computer ect. I have visited two local dealers and they seamed to be pretty straight foward. I will go to the next club race to learn more. Any advice or sources of info would be greatly appreciated!
