Go karts are friggin awesome. There used to be a place around here that had semi fast ones and they'd let me and my dad mess around and spin each other out. Called it Rock em Sock em Raceway. Go after a rain for some sweet power slides.

I got a buddy that races carts. I don't have the bawls to do it but he has one that runs 72mph powered by a B&S 5hp. He also has a shifter cart w/ a 150cc motor that runs upwards of 110mph. Like I said.....not me!

Don't get me wrong...they're fun. I guess around here, kids usually race something like a mini stock mustang or pinto or something. Not so many go karts.
