Kart Stand Question
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:47 pm
Hey guys and gals, me again...
Just got my son a Kart and into Karting and out of Motocross...
Right now we are on a shoestring budget and are looking to get my son out on the track and having some fun. We now have a Kart, and of course all the required safety gear. Now we're looking for a kart stand. My question is this... What is the real purpose of a kart stand? IS it just to roll the kart up and down the pit runner and get it on and off the track? I just can't see spending $250+ for a stand to wheel a kart on and off the track.
Please don't laygh at me, but would something like a simple furniture dolly placed under the kart move it up and down the pit runner to the track? What am I missing here? Does anyone in Karting NOT have a stand?
Thanks again for putting up with all the newbie questions!
