Check out my post in the sports section (karting 101), and for a good forum (really the only forum) ekartingnews.com.

Yea I saw that site, I'll do some deeper reading on it when I get home today. Does the shifting really make it that much more difficult? I'd like it to be as close to real driving as possible. I've driven stick my entire life including dirt bikes and ATVs.

It does sound smart to get used to a single speed first, but I'd prefer to purchase one kart that I can stick with for a long time.

I appreciate the advice!
