Default Re: Karting - Anyone into it?

yep another one for Dirt karting
I did it for 3 yr and won 4 state plates when I was stuck in the NT and it was the best fun
its cheaper in a way that bitumen karts, yes tyres are more but they last 4 times as long if not longer , I only used to buy new tyres for state or national events and then use the old ones for club meets
you go through chains and sprockets a bit but they are cheap
I used to race in the KT mediums but its the same KT100 engine everyone uses,
the only reason I stopped is because I started mining all those years ago and 4 weeks on 1 off killed my racing .. and if I had the time I would get back into it
