I raced dirt oval karts a bit 25 yrs ago when I was 13 but haven't been involved in the sport since due to racing motocross. That chapter has ended and I'm looking to start anew with four wheels.
My dilemma is, I don't know what the heck I'm buying. I'd appreciate any information you can give me as far as what brand and age chassis can I buy and still be competitive? I realize that setup is a big part of the equation but I'd like to buy the components that will help me be competitive from the get go yet have the ability to get better as my tuning and driving skills advance.
I'll be running on 1/8th mile dirt.
Is there a good all around tire or are the tires dirt specific?
What type clutch and gearing would this track require with clone vs. Animal?
I'll be looking for a used kart but want to know what to look for on a $2500 budget.
