I got my 5 year old son into karting last year at our brand new local track.

I have since bought myself a Rotax Max kart and a 4 stroke kart and plan to make the jump from car racing to karts this year.

My motivation is that karting is a family activity and most of the tracks I race at now don't let kids (families) into the pits anymore. This rules out bringing the family to races. My son and eventually my daughter will be able to be on track with me on practise nights doing lead follow training and we can work on the karts together at the track and at home.

Anyone else done this? How does karting compare to racing 911's? I have been racing for over 10 years, am a PCA instructor and have done quite a lot of endurance racing the past few years at tracks such as Laguna Seca, Daytona, Watkins Glen, Brainerd, The Ridge, Race City, Spokane, and Stratotech.
