That should be a lot of fun for your daughter GG, will also make her a better driver on the street. When I was about 18, I had a Margay pro x with a Honda G200, would go to a track and do laps until my ribs could not take any more, lots of fun.

Started getting her fitted to the kart. A little fab work this weekend and she should be good to go. The gap between the red arrows will need some sort of spacer. Brake pedal was easy, throttle will be a little trickier.

Four broken ribs that overlaped.

the rib thing is paramount. before I got mine the G's and hard seat made me hurt for a week after I climbed out of the thing.

The kart has been modified to fit her and she has the ability to drive it. She's gonna need to go a little faster though. And she's gonna need a smaller helmet.

Looks like fun for everyone.
Can she see over the steering wheel?

GG Allin 04-10-2024 03:28 PM

She cannot. The seat will be raised a little and she'll have to look to the side.

To lower the steering wheel can you make a new steel bracket that bolts the bushing at the top of the steering shaft to the vertical frame tube? I do not know what the bearing is at bottom of the steering shaft or if will allow this movement.

Or can you remove the front plastic and just use a number plate?

This is great.

I would’ve given my left nut to be doing that when I was a little kid.
