has to be fast

Check with your local racetracks, I'm sure there might be 1-2 in your area, call them and ask what age group you'd fit into, go to a few of the races and make friends, you might be able to purchase an old kart and parts from them and start from there. You're a bit older than the smaller classes which are less expensive but you still might be able to be somewhat competitive for a few thousand dollars.

If you just want to have fun, check out dirt track stock racing where they pick a stock motor and nearly yard karts and modify them.

Or try finding a full size car track that does worn out compact car racing. You pretty much just put a roll cage in a rotted out civic and go racing.

Kenny, that sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

 

[Hick727]

Well Im starting to race real cars but I thought it would be fun to race go karts in spare time

 

[Blazkowiez]

Check with your local tracks, every part of the country is different. The information you've given so far is very vague, everyone has a separate feeling of fast, and cheap.

I've got a friend who does that at raceway park here in MN. He says it's pretty fun and I think he got his car for somewhere around $400 so you could say it's cheap too.
