Hey guys, I'm new to these forums and karting in general (19 years old and up until now I've only run rentals). I've been doing some research about getting into kart racing recently when I thought of something troubling. Am I too big to race karts? I'm about 6'1", 200 pounds. Weight wise I can make most senior classes and run well below weight in heavy classes (plus I'm losing weight with a diet anyway), so I'm less concerned about my weight than I am about my height. I can always lose weight but I can't lose height (short of cutting a section of my legs off). As a taller driver I'm afraid I'll be slower, even if I do lose weight.
If it helps, I'm planning to run more road course style (asphalt) classes rather than dirt which seems popular on these forums, but I imagine this applies to both disciplines.
