Karting is a slippery slope, you will not be satisfied as a back runner, and that is when the cost goes up. As said find a local track with a good club, see what everyone is running and go from there.........I would love to give you a breakdown of cost, but it all depends what level you want to go.........You could easily get into it for less the 1000 bucks but, don't think you are going to run competitively. The kart and engine are easy it’s the support equipment that breaks you
Min to start
Driver suit and safety equipment, helmet, neck brace, chest protection, gloves.
Kart
Engine
Kart stand
Trailer (enclosed is best you can keep all your kart gear loaded and stored.) Min 8x 10'
Generator
Tools
Go racing
competitive racing
The entire above plus
At least another engine
2 or 3 clutch set up
Complete gear set front and clutch
Tires at least a rotation of 1 new set
Rain tires note all tires you want to use mounted on wheels
Wheels sets with different off set and widths
Canopy tent
SCALES do not go racing without them
Parts chassis and engine
TIME you never stop working on it during or after the race.
The list could go on but this alone is all ready into the thousands.
I don't want to discourage but these are the realities.
