Re: New To Karting, Need Some Direction:

Anyone know of any solid / proven company or website links to get started with getting the right helmet, suit, rib vest, neck brace, gloves, shoes? Without hurting the wallet at the same time? I may go ahead and opt for wrestling shoes since they're affordable... And probably something afforable wit...

Re: New To Karting, Need Some Direction:

Nawaaz...i test drove a chonda and was really surprised that for a entry level kart it was pretty quick..... Thank you for your feedback, Chris... Because I was beginning to worry if I'd be making a mistake in deciding to opt for the Chonda and sticking with it for the long run. Although I don't th...

Re: New To Karting, Need Some Direction:

Exactly what I was wanting to hear... Thanks for the great / thorough response. Will be on the look out for an affordable Chonda, then... Definitely want to work on my skill more than anything else. After what you have said, the Chonda class should be the appropriate level for me... And even more so...

Re: Need Some Direction, Please:

Looks like I still haven't given up in giving Karting a shot... I've been reading as much as my mind can tolerate. Not to mention, also speaking with a few experienced veterans of the sport has been greatly beneficial, as well. I encountered this page on Ekartingnews.com: http://www.ekartingnews.com...

Re: Need Some Direction, Please:

Thank you, Bob, DJ, Eric, and every individual out at the course for helping me get a better feel of things. I'm very happy that I took the opportunity to come out there... It was a very educational experience. Karting may or may not be something I'd like to try in the future, but I have no regrets ...

Re: Need Some Direction, Please:

Everything is relative in regards to expense. Karting is probably the best bang for the buck. Compare a race entry fee of 25$ compared to the 300 you currently pay. And 200$ for tires vs your 800 ( my auto, were 2000 for a set of 4). Plus you won't have to worry about insurance and waranty hassles....

Re: Need Some Direction, Please:

Welcome aboard Sonny! I haven't been in the club that long but came from a similar background regarding the HPDE events. I found that I never pushed the cars 100% for fear of the expense, if something happened. Now actually race "harder" with the karts and it is ever bit as exciting. Also...

New To Karting, Need Some Direction:

Hi all, Looks like Karting will be a completely new world to me. I'm willing to try and see if this is something that will work out. I reside in Plano, and I'm 27 years old, married and have 2 small kids. What brings me to your club? Well, I've been tracking my own street car(s) for close to 3 years...
