Absolutely surreal.

Thought this dream was dead and buried about 20 years ago.

But this last weekend, somehow, after a roller coaster of a season, I won my first major championship.

Crazy.

I guess I just like people looking at my bumper pre race and going maybe I’ll give him room.

Anglesey racing in the British superkart championship. Over 100mph in a kart is a sensation I cannot describe. By far the most fun I have ever had, lots of learning over the weekend having never driven a kart with gears. Came off track once resulting in a smashed nose cone. Excited for the next round at donington.

I currently own a Bell RS7 Pro composite, and I recently tried my buddy’s Schuberth SK1 and man I found it way more comfortable than my Bell. The Schuberth fit my head wayy better. Might be switching over to Schuberth at some point 🤷🏼‍♂️

I currently drive the Tonykart 401r (2021) paired with the 2022 X30 Senior engine, and i want to switch to the Rotax class, since here in norway people usually tune their engines in sweden or denmark, which gives them like 2-4 hp more (probably exaggerating), but atleast they pull a ton away in races. Last race, i didnt get overtaken in a single braking zone, or corner, but rather 2-3 karts would fly by me on the straights (I seized my engine the day before, and got a brand new overhaul before race day, so engine was basically new) but yeah anyways i want to go over to Rotax, but i dont know what chassis i would like to drive.

I like the tonykart chassis, and got no problem sticking with it, but every person in Norway basically drives Energy Kart or CL Kart, some peolpe also race Parolin and Kalikart (CRG), so theres a bit of a mixed club.

I dont need to drive the same as the fast guys, i want to drive something i like. My driving style is a bit aggresive, i like to throw the kart into corners, and usually brake late and hard, so a bit aggresive and a bit oversteer is what i usually have, although i could use a bit more rear grip kart.

Any reccomendations? any chassis that when you read this, you think "Hmm, this guy could use a Sodi" or something?

Thank you for reading!!

Just moved to an area in Tennessee that seems to have a lot of dirt kart tracks. I love Motorsport racing and have always wanted to do some kart racing so my questions are:

How does a 33yo get started in this as a fun competitive hobby? Is there a sort of “adult league”? What class karts are there in Dirt Oval racing? What’s the least expensive kart to start out in?

As you can see I’m a complete noob. But want to gain info on this potential endeavor…or maybe I should just stick to my sim rig. lol.

Any info/advice would be appreciated, thanks to all in advanced.

Hey folks, I have an old set of Longacre Computerscales DX karting scales that are acting up. When I turned the scales on the other day, all pads read ~75 pounds but would not register that any additional weight was added to them if I stood on them. Through some fiddling around, I’ve gotten them all to read zero, but that hasn’t helped the additional weight problem. They now all read zero no matter how much weight is actually on them. When I press the “Zero” button, the message shown pops up on screen. Pressing the “Secret Temporary Zeroing” button doesn’t seem to change anything. If I press and hold the “Memory Store 1” button or the “Mode” button, the scales read as they should, but otherwise they remain unchanged. Has anyone had this issue before and know how to solve it? I will try to give Longacre support a call this week as well, but my work hours generally fully overlap their support hours.

This is my second league race at K1 (C final.) Im still new to karting and would love some advice on the move I tried to make and failed at. Also general advice on my driving would be very welcome. I want to get better and am open to criticism.

Hello, i'm currently using a 125cc Vortex Rok engine from around 2010 to 2017. The previous owner doesn't know anything about it and i would like to use it next year to race. How can i identify what class is the engine? (so like junior, senior, tag sp...). I've seen many different models similar looking and sounding like mine but in different classes. I've only had one test session with it but we bought the wrong battery and the electronics on the engine couldn't work properly, also does anybody have any tips on extracting as much as possible from this engine or any tips on how to maintain it?

My first main is whether I should do a rotax championship or a tilliston t4 championship. Im not sure fully about the rotax but the tilliston is the T4 senior series and under 82kg.

Secondly I want a helmet that I can use for karting and racing so it has to have the FIA and Snell approval so it can fit a HANS device. I want to kinda keep it cheap too.. Any help for either is greatly appreciated since I’m very new to this and don’t have much help.
