Karting?

I also wanted to get into carting but I would probably look like Donkey Kong from MarioKart.

I would imagine one would have to be really precise in applying the throttle, hitting the apex, and shifting. Heck it took two seasons of auto-x just to get smooth and then fast.

Two buddies of mine that live West Ashley came up here & drove my kart for a weekend. They now have their own karts and take weekend trips up to either Kershaw (Carolina Motorsports Park) or Jacksonville (103rd St.) to run. They both used to do track days & auto-X, but the thought of trashing their DDs got them into karting.

WEZL...as in the station? Do you know JL? She's an ex of mine.

Haha naw as in the cartoon I am weasel. Karting is probably cheaper than going thru a set of RE-11s. I'm already looking for a bigger family car that can tow. I just can't see my 07 GTI up to the task of towing a kart (trailer).
