I think there's only certain events you can use go-karts not sure. In WA SCCA event's only once in a while do I see them :dunno: Not sure but they are faster than almost all the cars :eek3:

Oh yeah and your cart's hp/weight ratio would have to be adjusted wtih you as the driver :fawk: So guess you'll be going just as fast as a Civic :exnbp:

probably the smaller single speed maybe two speed karts.

In CA there are many people with karts. the Formula 125cc 6speed shifter karts. Yep almost every event I've been to there was 2 or more karts running.

At the last even the FTD was 29.999 set by a 125cc kart. The fastest car was 30.9xx. That's a huge difference.

Nothing would happen, since Karts are allowed.

However I have no idea how you would do since well I don't know how well you drive and karts are a different breed.

u should make sure u like it before getting it. this guy i was talking to at auto x told me his friend got one for 6k and even got custom made seat cuz he was big. and in the end never raced it. drove it down the street once and sold it 6 mo later.

u could get alotta mods for the M3 for the price of a kart
