I know there are many people that post here, but out of this wide community this is my question. How many karts any of you have ridden or you estimate that you have ridden?

Honestly I can't even fathom how many I've driven around testing these days, its a really strange day when I don't ride a kart.

Have any of you ridden more than 10, 100, 1000? I have no freaking idea at this point where I am on the scale but I'd like to know where ya'll are.

I do not feel this is off topic being kart related though it does not focus specifically on one kart in general.
:auto:

4 or 5 petrol powered ones, 2 electrics and probably 10 or 20 downhill ones :D.

Not many but hay, not too bad, it's all good fun :D.

Thanks

Perhaps 9 or 10 if you don't count those silly boardwalk ones that go in circles around a lame track doing like 10mph! Include those, and I cannot count (a fool and his money are soon parted).:D

like 6 or 8 if you count the little ones you pay 5 bucks to put around on, then maybe 1 or 2 of these karts, but i wasn't allowed to push the pedal to the metal unless i took a like one week class (expensive!), and then i did a burn-out on my drive way with my kart i just finished!

sadly, i have only done the super governed lamo track ones. the "coolest" go kart ride ive had was when i was in canada i found a little track that was ice coated, and all yo did was drift.

like 10 crappy track ones, maybe 1 or 2 real ones, I plan on doing a go kart project as soon as I finish the bike I'm working on (in the sig) and sell my pocket bike and goped.

Hey man, nothing wrong with that one. I don't even own a go-kart. I have no space in my house and no place in my neighborhood to ride. (whereas my uncle owns like 50?)

Do you have any photos of his vast collection?

Dude, the shop isn't quite a collection of karts that are ready to go or in awesome condition, we have a decent amount, but its a storage sort of thing and not karts that are ready to go. These things seem to sell the week we get them fixed up.

Here is a picture I took 3 or so years ago when I pulled some of the karts out, this isn't all of them but gives an idea of how many we generally have. I couldn't get all of them in the picture and too many wouldn't fit outside without disrupting the rest of the parking lot.

Heh, its a Carter. You can see on the front it has a grey tire, that means we were changing the other one over. We've got some 5" grey tires which are nearly a full inch taller than typical 5" knobbies granting you 3-4mph top speed versus the previous ratio.

Back on topic though, how many karts have ya'll ridden?

i could think of like 8 right off the bat. 5 of them being mine. Plus all the ones from the rent a cart tracks. Not to mention the many many minibikes and trikes.
