Default Found my new hobby!

Was out at Jet Karting on Sunday.

This is the place we need to have a meet. The karts rip at 80+ mph (max for this track). This was insane

Im going to get a cart over the winter My buddy has a year pass so runs are free There are other tracks you can do 110+

If your in for a rush go check this out They rent karts but I think those are maxed at 40 mph? I probably was only hitting 65 and felt like I was flying as people blew past me

I think this would make a great meet next year when it warms up

go to youtube and pull up shifter karts

I don't know what is powering it but a snowmobile engine will get some crazy acceleration.

Most karts are running Rotex. Yamaha and Honda are probably the next 2 big names but dont have the reliability Rotex has. If I run the kart as a shifter then I would go with the Honda motor. If I start off not using it as a full shifter kart I will go with the Rotex Senior Max engine. The Rotex will max at about 80 mph and the Honda will top out at 115 mph.

Screw that, get a cheap suzuki engine off a bike you can even use the trans off it as well. Get a 760 engine and trans for like $700 and you'll get stupid fast.
