Agree with Jim. It's not the 'inexpensive motor sport'. Both my lads started racing in January this year. Started with good used karts and soon realised we were way off the pace. Bought brand new karts and engines etc. Also bought a very cool kart trailer to transport all the gear. Cost from January to now is approaching AU$50k. This includes all their race apparel, entry fees, absolutely everything. Wife has a thing for keeping receipts. We had our first wet race Saturday and both my lads came home with 3rd place in their respective classes. So that $50k was worth every penny to see them light up on the podium.
All in all a great fun sport. I say go for it. They are cheaper to maintain and run than a car and probably more fun, dollar for dollar.
