Im sure if u go back they will take your money lol. I used to kart at a place called track 21 in Houston before i started competitively.. good times haha

lmao, Action Park in NJ used to have carts at their amusment park, the engine had a governor on the throttle but I noticed if you bent it the throttle would open wide. They threw up a bunch of cones as I came around and forced me off the track when they saw me going twice as fast as everyone else :icon17:..."banned for life" rofl

gotta get an advantage somehow. they're just angry they didn't figure it out first:p

I have gone to Track 21 a few times, but never actually went karting their. :(
Shaun, should check out the Texas section for upcoming Z events to meet up, next one is July 28 at Hooters on 290. :tup:

Where is this? I live in Katy and the only place ive heard of was track 21, never been though. That looks like alot of fun

edit: just saw the link you posted, looks like a good substitute for MSR

#66 and #77 are both of my karts

As you can see in the last pic they are all mystified how they lost jk:p

Eh you'll have more fun in your car anyways;)haha but its an alright place just make sure you go on the fast track otherwise it's to slow.

Eh no car yet only 15 and just got my permit:( oh well im sure ill be hitting up some meets when i get a car.

Yeah its down I-10 off Stockdick Road. MSR has a nice gokart track, but im might doing the lemons race there when i turn sixteen.:happydance:

24 Hours of Lemons - Home Page

sweet pics. we do an annual g/z karting event with indoor electrics thats a blast.

Racing and not having to worry about something breaking is always a blast:excited:

Heard those lemon races are loads of fun. Always wanted to enter one myself. Let me know if you get a team together :tup:

Update:

This is what happens when you go off track

October 24th Go Karting Pics 2010 - a set on Flickr



*This is his older brother

^^^ ouch...
I am thinking of buying a shifter kart.
Heard it was the most purest form of racing... Well see. lol
What would you say it would cost you to maintain one of these things..
Yearly...?

Thank you for the pics:tiphat:
As for maintenance is just depends on how competitive you wanna be. Tires are $250 a set then you've got fuel, gearbox, oils and brakes. What breaks the bank is an engine rebuild every season:(

As for purest form of racing i can agree to that:tup:

This is awesome! I wish I got into karting at a young age. I've been going recently to an indoor track with friends and its way more fun than I've ever had in a car. How much would it cost to buy these "chonda" cheapo karts. I want to get into karting but I don't have deep pockets or that much time to commit.

My dream is to have some property with a karting track and a bunch of karts to run on weekends with friends haha.

BTW. what exactly are you doing in the first picture with your right hand on the motor?

Well you can get the motor at harbor freight with a coupon for like a $100 and then an old chassis for like $500 and Bam! gokart! Then you need helmet, suit, transportation and some regular pump gas and your pretty much good to go!

My Dad said the same thing to me he wants to get a lot of land and build a racetrack in his backyard when he retires lol.

In that first pic i'm leaning out the motor by adjusting the low speed jetting on the carburetor. So when we get to the line i won't bog down at the start and then I'll turn it back and dump more fuel into to the engine and go fasta after the start!
