Goodmorning all. I'm looking for some help in Virginia or surrounding areas. I recently picked up a kart from a friend of mine who used to race. Basically he and his father used to race in this area and the rest of the southeast region, but time and responsibilities stopped them from continuing. They had hoped to get his daughter into racing, so they kept this kart for a few years until she was big enough...but shes too scared to race.
I got it from them in the hopes of giving it away to a parent who wants to get their child into racing, but might not have all the money required to buy everything to get set up and going. I grew up racing atvs, and was lucky enough to be able to go across the country on 4 different circuits doing what I love. Those memories with my friends and family are some of the best I've ever had. I'd love to make a kids dream of racing karts come true.
I tried contacting the local karting club (Hampton roads karting club). The number is disconnected, the president and the junior karting rep have yet to return my emails. So maybe you guys can help.
I'm willing to bring it out to meet someone within a couple hundred miles of me, or someone can come to me and see everything I've got and knows a deserving family.
Basically I've got a phantom nemesis frame, weights, a Briggs motor with dyno cam that's set up for a restrictor plate class and was only ran on 2 practice days. I believe he said it's a black plate motor. I'll have to check on that. I've got 4 complete sets of tires and rims...different compounds and such, a bead breaking machine, and tire mount machine for the tires and rims. The clutch that I've got was set up for an Elizabeth city track, but it's some high dollar unit. The only thing it needs to be ready to go is a coil on the motor, and a new key for the clutch shaft to hold the clutch on. Everything else is there.
I have pictures of everything but I'm unsure about how to post them. I'd be happy to email them to someone if needed.
