I know a number of us are interested. Maybe a few of you w/ Karting experience could help us get started.

I`m fast at Dromo, been to APEX 5 times now, but still don`t really know where/how to get started. I just want to get into a nice, used Kart that will not require a ton of maintenance. My guess is that a 100cc non-shifter would be a good place to start. I`ll be taking the 125cc shifter school in a month or two. Basically, I just want to go out and have fun right now...get more track experience. Maybe start to actually compete in 6 months or so.

Where can I find a used 100cc non-shifter for a decent price? Also, what else will I need? I`m in Southern California.

Regards,
Ryan

You can try this site, there's usually a lot of used karts for sale in the classified section; norcal-karting.com. There's also a real nice forum on
www.ekartingnews.com where you can get a lot of your questions answered.

Jim Hall's kart school in Ventura is excellent and offers both non-shifter and shifter courses. However, you need to have prior shifter experience or take their non-shifter course before taking the shifter course.

Don't be afraid to start your karting career in a shifter. That's what I did and progressed quite well by the end of the first year. Shifters are a lot easier to maintain and IMO a lot more fun. Also suggest you start with an 80 shifter. 125s can be a bit much for a begginner.

 

Contact me.
