Does anyone here have a shifter Kart?

[RP Films]

Hey does anyone here shifter kart? Or your kids? I am thinking of getting my daughter into shifter karts. She loves to always touch and work on the rigs and I feel it would be a great starter way to get into it. So do any of you kart? Thanks

I USED TO......HOW OLD IS YOUR DAUGHTER???I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO BE AT LEAST 14-16 YRS TO RUN A SHIFTER CART.....BUT A CLUTCH KART(CENTRIFIGAL CLUTCH THAT IS....)YOU CAN DRIVE AT A PRETTY YOUNG AGE!!!!

ITS A TON OF FUN BUT BEING COMPETITIVE IN THE SHIFTER CLASSES CAN BE A VERY EXPENSIVE AND LABOR INTESIVE PROCESS!!!!I HAD TO REBUILD MY HONDAS TOP END EVERY THREE HOURS OF RUN TIME!!!!AND HAD AT LEAST 10K TIED UP IN THE CHASSIS AND MOTOR!!!!

YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE NNKC(THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE TRACK IN LEMMON VALLEY)IM SURE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DIRECT YOU AND POSSIBLY GET YOUR DAUGHTER A TEST DRIVE IN SOMEONES CART TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT......THE ONE GREAT THING ABOUT JOINING THE LOCAL CLUB IS THAT AS PART OF YOUR DUES YOU GET A KEY TO THE TRACK AND CAN RUN ON IT ANY TIME YOU WANT UNLESS THERE IS AN EVENT!!!!

HAULIN AND KARTING....VIDEOS TO FOLLOW????:Big Grin:

Thanks! She is 5 and there is a 5 to 8 league. So I guess I have to do more research on the motors and etc.

IF YOU GO OUT TO THE TRACK ON A RACE DAY....AND ASK AROUND MOST IF NOT ALL THE MEMBERS ARE PRETTY HELPFUL AND MIGHT EVEN LET HER TAKE A SPIN AFTER THE RACING IS OVER....THATS HOW I GOT INTO IT!!!!I BOUGHT SOMEONES WINNING TRACK SERIES SHIFTER 80 KART FOR $2000:Big Grin:
