I was referring to AMP. Not Atlanta but local to me and our CNC shop in Alpharetta.

There is a local track in Atlanta but we have a .75 mile track at work at our facility. And then we have a 7 acre asphalt flat pad we use to test and tune the trans am series car and the drift cars we assemble for various racers. We have been setting up cones in our own layout and making that our course. It’s much easier to stay around the house than fight with Atlanta traffic. Lol How much did you pay for your karts Hans?

Well the 2 buddies that have them already I guess have older rigs that happen to still run very good and we’re all mechanics so we tend to keep things running good. One spent $1000.00 on his older 80cc kart and my other buddy spent $1500.00 on his 125cc kart. I was hoping to stay around that range. I don’t really know how to explain it other than I’m not looking for a really new kart or one that is set up with a lot of high dollar parts. I’m basically looking for possibly an older kart that still runs good that I can upgrade. Would like to stay around the $1500.00 range if possible. I know it’s not an easy thing to do possibly. I mean their karts may be older and slow as molasses compared to today’s standards but to us they seem pretty dang fast and are a lot of fun for us.

We were wearing our helmets, rib protectors, and fire suits. I didn’t mention were a full race shop with many years of experience in road racing.  We’re not just a group of morons that hop in something and take off like we’re riding a lawn mower.

I’d say my buddies is fairly old also, just going off the looks alone. But his runs very well. I would love to find an older one that is in good shape and still runs well and just kind of fix it up with some new parts. I’m not trying to race it or spend the money for a modern race ready rig as Im just looking to have some fun.  This has been a lot harder than I thought it would be.

I actually saw that but I don’t know enough about these to know the difference. If they aren’t shifters are they still as fast? What’s the big differences between the two?

[Brian Bush]

Man I been looking all day and haven’t found much. I need to broaden my search. Would be awesome if there was a way to narrow down Karts that were closer to me in the classifieds some how. I don’t mind traveling a decent little way to buy something for the right deal.

[Brian Bush]

Yes sir I do not intend on racing, this is basically just something to have where me and my buddies can have some fun in our large parking lot at our shop and go between the buildings instead of taking the golf cart or our personal vehicles. I’m only looking for something for having fun. A 125cc would be just fine, and that’s exactly the information I’m looking for is finding something that isn’t obsolete or a piece of junk. Just because it runs doesn’t make it nice in my opinion. I’m not looking to buy a race ready rig but more so a rig just to go have some fun in the evenings. Is there a brand or type of these Karts that are more of a beginner kart or leisure kart that can be built upon and upgraded?

[Brian Bush]

I’m located in northern GA Cartesville to be exact. And I’ll gladly take all the help I can get. I just really don’t even know what questions to ask as I don’t know anything about this except we chewed thru some tires and I loved it. I haven’t had that much fun in a long long time. Mainly looking to find a decent starter rig and how to go about finding one. The one I rode was an 80cc shifter Kart with some sort of dirt bike motor, what brand of motor I’m not sure as I didn’t ask. Any guidance appreciated.
