I used to race karts. I don't mean like just drive them around, I mean actually racing in organized series. Won a ton of races, club championships, regional championships and an IKF grandnational championship. I don't race karts anymore, but I still know a ton of people who do. But, soon I'm going to get back into racing with a
Grand American Modified. I can;t wait to get back into racing, I just have to wait until I graduate from college this year (one of the reasons I stopped racing), then I will completely free to devote my time to racing again. My dad used to race sprint cars, and midgets (and my grandpa was a race car driver too), so I grew up around racing, so its hard to not be around it for awhile.
If you want some info on the different associations that sanction shifter kart races, you might want to check out the
IKF website, and the
SKUSA website. PM me if you have any more questions.
