My vote is no to karting (at least shifters cause they're too fast), lawnmower powered are fine and even then my buddy broke his leg when another one landed on him :-(

I can't imagine wheel to wheel racing in a shifter kart. For me the speeds are too high with too little protection. Same goes for motorcycle racing.
A guy I used to work with raced karts. It was a big part of his life. He gave it all up when a close friend of his was killed in a kart race at Road Atlanta.
