Thanks MSFIT. There are plenty of shifters out where you are, maybe more than anywhere...
If you ever get a chance to drive a well prepaired 125, well, 0 to 100 & back to 0 in around 8.5....

 

Karts are AWESOME !! I recently got into karting and the experience cant really be explained. If you want real deal open wheel RACING go try a real kart, not one of the fun center karts.

Personally I have a PTK shifter kart with a cr125 motor on it and its a blast. nothing like 100mph one inch off the ground. My younger daughter wants a kart now too.

Something people always mistake and that is that these karts are not "toys" they are mini race cars and are very fast and very intence. After tracking the mini a bunch of times and going to one of the karting events I was hooked.

They are full bore race cars. There are some tracks, like Silverstone, where they are a thenth or 2 off F3000 cars and other tracks that they are the fastest.
All you west coast guys get to race all the time + all the good shops are out there.
Detlman, looks like you have a good start, enter an event, it beats auto-x, even track days ( no I don't want to upset any auto-xer, but you do get a lot more race time ). There is also a big tire learning curve that will come pretty quick if you kart. When my son was oval racing I learned more about tires, air, nitrogen ( to use it or not ), stagger, rotation, the list goes on.... than racing SCCA GT-3 for 9 years.

 

yup, yup, yup ! We have entered 2 races so far and did pretty well as far as improvement and seat time went. Last time out my kart decided to have a cdi failure which pretty much ended my day.

I wish more mini people would get karts around here and we could go play.

 

dang...I really want to buy that 125! But is that too much kart for me if I have never done it and want to get into it as a hobby? I think I need a lot more questions answered first about shifter karts before I start buying everything.

 

Hey Duck, are you over 35???? An 80cc senior class car is a pretty good place to learn, for a shifter. The seniors have front breaks same as the 125s. The other possibility would be a clutch car ( they will still do over a buck ). I can tell you what to get & if you can't get it close by I'vgot quite a bit of stuff ( 14 years worth, some great to some not too great )

 

If any of you can tell me how to post some pics, I would....

 

I'm actually 25...have never done any type of karting like this. My boss owns a kart (125cc) and we're supposed to take it out next weekend. I know I'm going to love it...just don't know where to start.

Any advice you may have would be awesome. Feel free to e-mail or pm me any info!

 

I jumped in with both feet and bought a 125cc shifter. Have to admit the learning curve is interesting. But its more fun than you can imagine!

 

Maybe this makes a difference to. I want to get into this as a weekend hobby. I don't want to race competitively. I have a couple other friends who do this and it would be fun to race against them...but like i said, it's just for fun/hobby purposes.

When you say the learning curve is "interesting" what does that really mean?

 

Just that its intence. And everything you thought you knew about setup on suspension is different with a kart. And if you get a shifter its more intence because you are trying to learn the track, the handling of the kart and how and when to CORRECTLY shift to keep it on the pipe. Personally that is what makes it fun, but I was watching the f200 4 stroke class and I really liked it. Their times were pretty fast! I am thinking about buying another kart and set up an f200 and race 2 classes, 125cc shifter and f200.

Go once and you will be HOOKED !

 

You got that right. My son & I did it for 12 years.

As a starter class, If you guys have a Yahama can class, it's the best bang for the buck. We, my son, started road racing on a small local track, went to a more competitive road coarse, then oval.
Any briggs class, there should be lots of those around & cheap - oval guys like to get new chassis every year ( not that they are junk in a year, they just think they are missing something if they don't ).
The oval was an eye opener. Since we had bias tires there were many combonations of tires & wheels. I learned more about tires, compounds, stretch, stagger & tire presure adjustment ( I thought I knew something, NOT ). We ran WKA stock lite & medium with a Briggs. We had 4 motors all of which were winning races. The Briggs was the most expensive of all the motors we ever ran. At a national level people would pay up to $2500 for 1. If I diden't build them myself....... Anyway the Yahama KT100 is a very reliable and inexprnsive ( $1200 to 1700 for a good blue printed ) engine that you can run for more than 3 race hours without a freshen.
As far as other classes the F200 does look good but I have no idea how much the maintainence cost is. I'd bet it's more than the Yahama.
TAG ( touch and go ) classes look pretty interesting ( got to love an electric starter ). We went to St. Lawrence Motorsports in upper NY 250 TAG cars showed up for a money race. We ran the 125 pro class 68 cars. It was a hell of a race weekend.
I do have access to a couple of 4 cycle chassis ( low buck entry level but hardly used - 1 of them might have 6 total hours on it) but you guys are pretty far away. However I do have a Raider that could be shipped on a pallett ( it was a kart I was going to keep ), along with almost everything to either race 100cc or 80cc shifter or both. I need to see what exactly there is. I know I have some 6" mounted YAFs, 5" wheels & tires some with bead locks, I know there is enough stuff to run for a season without having to buy anything, chain gears, clutch hubbs and a fresh KT100 ( Ladd head, A2 pipe & header w/ spacers & TS pipe w/TS header ) Burris motor mount w/3rd bearing, acouple of Horstman clutches ( 2 disk & 3 disk ), shifter axel & clutch axel, spare steering components, spare complete break master & caliper, drilles trick rotor,break pads, pills for the front end ( almost all they make ), a radiator ( if you want to go shifter ), a fresh rm80 ( if you want to go junior or senior shifter ), I might have a cr80 ( should be low hours ) with a banks pipe...

 

Would one of you PLEASE tell me how to post a pic??????

 

when you click reply there should be a box under the reply box that says manage atachments. Click it and find the pic you want to post.

 

Something like this is a good starting point. We won a lot of races with this car.
Deltman, a big thanks. Now I can post the other karts

 

no problem. Here is a pic of my kart, the second pic you may have seen a similar situation once or twice...lol

 

A lot more than once... A huge cloud of dust & thank God the N1 made it through. That kind of thing alyays happened while leading a race. You will see, it's always in front of you..
I'll get the 125 & the 80 up tomorow.
PT spent quite a bit of time developing the chassis you have & A.J.A. drove for him successfully up till a couple of years ago. The first PKTs were build by Tony, so I'm told, so the chassis you have now should be current for some time to come. Just don't bend it.

 

Not to go off topic, at least too much , I'm looking for a 5hp Honda non-shifter kart in the Central Florida area. I haven't been able to find squat. Is what I'm looking for really that rare? It's for my 11 year old son.

 

Hammer, what you are looking for is easy. First you want a good chassis. The engine is the only thing you would and should buy new, along with a clutch & gears.
My son started at 10 & if iwere to start over ! would have gotten him a better chassis right from the start. There are kid karts that are made for ages 8 - 10, you don't want one.
The Raider in the pic is what you want, or the equal. I have a frend that has a Coyote wide track with low hours on it with a Briggs 5hp which might be the kind of thing you are looking for.
From about age 14 up if your son has any ability he will start to realy shine. There were kids that used to beat us realy bad in the begining. We would start in the middle of the pack or the end and get banged around but after a while my son could start anywhere, dead last, and win. Some of that was chassis, some was I learned the tires, the rest was driver feed back & ability.
The best part of racing was not the race, it was the quality time we spent together. Oh, forgot about all the junk food that mom would not let us eat...
