Also.... good looking kart!</p> <p>Kart racing is a great way for someone to get started in racing. I raced karts for about 3 years. We ran in P'cola, Montgomery, Baker and actually the most on the Flomaton Speedway. For a couple years they would run the car races on Friday night and then have kart races on Saturday.</p> <p>Those karts will fly. At Flomaton, in addition to the regular stock and limited divisions, they had an unlimited class that you could run pretty much whatever you wanted for a motor. I raced a second kart in that class occasionally. It had a 10-horse Tecumseh that was built to output probably at least 30hp. According to the lap times we'd turn, we would be going approximately 75-80 mph down the straightaways... (if you can call them that...)</p> Good Luck, Jarrett! Also…. good looking kart!
