      Thanks, a Judo coach I know told me to always keep it light & fun

      I bought an RV so he can play w his iPad between sessions & chill

      He’ll b 6 in Nov so no actual competition for another 2 years

      I do tons of track days & a few races myself so I know what’s up

      Will buy some books on coaching

      Thnx for the tips

      Starting some next level “stuff”

      Buying an RV Toter home w room for 3 or 4 karts in the garage. Has generator, big AC, dining table w 2 couches + a big convertible couch! full bath! kitchen, fridge, & cabinets for racing suits, helmets, tools, spares etc

      Now we can go spend ALL day at track & between sessions he can relax in AC on a couch in the shade drinking his milk & playing on his iPad.

      RV will be awesome for allowing him to enjoy karting more & it’s an escape from the damn HEAT @ FL now & bugs & rain

      Going to track tomorrow. Met Emerson Fittipaldi tonight & got a photo of him w my son. He was interested in his kart, told me his 7 yr old Grandson is starting karting too.

      I got him an electric razor kart when he was 4 & laid out a hairpin, slalom, & a few more corners for him so he already had some experience before he got on the race track.

      He is already picking up speed & learning the lines. Have him up to three 10min sessions a day once a week.

      Immediate goal is to get him to track almost every Sat after school starts & spend a few hours there. I’ll get myself a kart too.

      The RV will b a huge help in making his day better at track

      Thanks we are lucky to live in Homestead, Fl just a few min from the Homestead kart track & Speedway. We,ve been to a race weekend here & he really likes it but I’m keeping it low pressure cus last thing I want is for him to burn out.

      Sorry getting used to this forum. We have a 50cc Birel & he has all the gear. Thinking about buying a used RV so he cabn b entertained & comfortable & avoid crazy FL heat between sessions.

      Any advice re the RV ?

      Also looking for a mechanic soon for track support

      Thanks
