My daughter has gotten the bug. She is 11 and has always loved going to tracks with me to various motorsports.
She will be going to many track practice sessions at the track we will be racing before I let her on the track with more than a few other drivers.
To save a few $ would it be wise to just put a cheap stock motor on the kart until she gets the feel for it. I was thinking of getting a harbor freight motor and just putting a header on it. SO she can be accustomed to the sounds.
With this motor she can run many laps and I will not worry about it. I would hate to wear out a race built motor just on practice sessions. My engine builder is not exactly cheap but he has very high quality engines.
