After breaking a collarbone for the 3rd time (my employer was starting to get upset with all the work I missed over a couple year period), my MX racing buddy and I decided we were getting too old for the constant injuries, so we bought carts and did a season of cart racing.
It was fun at first, but nowhere near the thrill of MX. Unfortunately, the only class of cart racing that was popular in our area was 5hp briggs (About 9hp with no governor, and slight mods burning alcohol). It soon became clear that we could run with the go pedal mashed around the whole track and it just was not all that competitive compared to MX. Had shifter carts or some of the other 2 stroke classes been popular in our area, we would probably have stuck with it, but the classes that were popular in our area were just plain boring after the initial introduction.
