| And the side pods are cut, etc. etc. etc. If it runs and the brakes work don't really see how it could cost that much to fix the little bits here and there and go race at the hobby level. Will it win nationals? Could it be a nice drivable shifter fro under $3k? Yup... |

Point being that you don't need a top level "National Class" kart to have a good time and race at the local or regional level.
To the OP, who appears to have been scared off by this thread - figure out where you would like to race, and at what level you wish to participate. Follow those rules within your budget. I was scouting the local track and getting into the hobby this past summer. Was told that KT100 was the only class for me as nobody is running TAG or shifters. One guy was bringing a TAG to practice days. I found a deal on a Rotax TAG, and started showing up for practice. 4 weeks later we had 5 TAG's running, and by chance some dirt bike guys showed up with a couple of random shifters. We are starting this next season with a 5 kart assorted shifter class, and an 8 kart assorted TAG field. There are 2 karts between the combined groups that cost more than $5000. |
My local track race Chonda, TaG and shifters. Tag seems to be more popular, followed by shifter and then chonda. |
