Re: 16 Year Old interested in Karting...

Thanks for all the information guys. I have found a Chonda class Kart for my son to run for a bit until I know he knows all about smooth driving, and learns the Apex and breaking points like the back of his hand. I also just got a membership to the track. Hope to see everyone out there. I know it's ...

Re: How fast does the Chonda class run

Thank you for the reply Kevin, that helps me alot. My next question is this... If we start with a Chonda, and he learns quickly, would we be able to simply swap out the engine for say a Yamaha or whatever is the next faster class, or would that require a huge expense and a ton of work? can anyone li...

How fast does the Chonda class run

I have a 16 year old son who is interested in getting involved in Karting. After reading a lot of information, I was thinking that the Chonda class would be great for him. It seems to be pretty popular and much less expensive to get into than some of the more "elite" classes. I'm a bit con...
