.:: NEW TO KARTING

.:: An overview of Karting

Karting is the fastest growing form of motor sports in the U.S. and is already hugely popular around the world. There are about 100,000 karters in the United States alone, encompassing all age groups, from children as young as five years, all the way to seasoned participants, even well into retirement age. The sport sees competitors of both genders and is truly something for the whole family to enjoy.

While many might participate out of pure enjoyment, because it is relatively affordable, it is a perfect venue for learning the basics about competition racing, car control, team work, setup, engine tuning, and much more. All of this while having a whole lot of fun. No other racing vehicle will allow you to get as much seat time for a given budget as a kart!

.:: Understanding the karts

The beauty of karting is the seemingly simple nature of these vehicles: No suspension, no differential, no roll-bars, no seat-belt systems. Just four wheels and an engine. This simplicity is exactly what keeps the cost of karting down compared to other forms of motor racing. It also makes it easier for the beginner to comprehend the vehicle in its totality and to identify the components that may be adjusted or tuned for optimum performance.

Specifically designed, purpose built, race karts are extremely responsive and agile vehicles, not at all comparable to fun karts you may find at fairs or other rental venues. They provide amazing handling and cornering capabilities and propel the driver around the race track, just a few centimeters above the ground. Being successful in the top levels of kart racing requires the same peak physical condition, and mental strength as other forms of racing.
