    Big guy wants to race!

It was my first race and I was the second oldest driver. That being said, I had A LOT of fun...

    Big guy wants to race!

    They seem to be a mixed bag... I think I’m gonna give it a go and hopefully I can deal with the one right turn. This is a REALLY out of the way track only 6 or 8 people go there.

    Kart to race on clay track

    Ok, here we go.. I’m an oldish guy (63) 270 lbs ( yeah kind of chunky) shopping for a rolling frame, I have to run slick tires and plan on putting a 212 engine on it. I was looking at something like this pic. Any advice for a newbie? I am pretty mechanically inclined.
