Thread: Are you a kart racer?

Yes, I am but just an amateur kart racer. I usually go kart racing with my friends on the second and last weekends of the month. Normally, its just for fun but when we are already on the race track, we end up racing (and bumping) each other.

How about you, do you like kart racing?

Do you mean go-karts? We ride them all the time at the local go-kart place. We race and its a blast. We get pretty fast and weaving in and out. I have only won about 3 times.

I also race on go-karts. I like go karts because you can feel every move that the kart doing. I specially like cutting my friends on corners. They try to bump my rear whenever I do this to them but they can't.

I have been kart racing a few times and I love it! It is so much fun and I've been going with my boyfriend. We went around Christmas, over the holidays. It was cold out!

I so love bumper cars too (the comment about friends trying to bump you). It's gets pretty fun when you are whipping around the track. I try to get around people and sometimes you bump the other carts.

Yes I mean go-karts. I had this race with friends on the weekend just after new year's eve. It was really fun because there are many people that time and some of them are great drivers. I even thought that they maybe some of them are real race car drivers because of how they handle their karts.

It seems that I am the only one here who have never tried go-karts. What a shame! LOL. I should give it a try. How does it feel when you are riding it? Is it easier or more difficult to drive than a car is?

Even kids can drive go-karts so don't be afraid to try it. If you are driving an automatic car then it feels like it but the go-kart is much much smaller. What I like most with go-karts is the turn because you feel the pulling force when you have a sharp turn.

Unfortunately, there are no places near me for kart racing; if there were, I'd be there all the time! I really miss living in areas where there was always something interesting to do nearby.

Really? I just a bit doubt because it is so short with those tiny wheels. Besides the pulling force, don't you feel difficulty to turn (because the small wheels)?
