What are the differences and pros and cons. I know outlaw kart aren’t cheapSprint kart or dirt kart ?
I was gonna say none lolA yard kart would be your cheapest option.
Dirtone for dirt and one for asphalt, what will you be running on?
I know my local track does outlaw karts and I have a few friends that race them. But I’m not sure if I want to do outlaw karts or just an oval kart. I’m leaning towards an outlaw cart because you can find a used chassis for relatively cheap.Cheap vs competitive will be a trade-off in most cases.
You might try to find an older PRC Phenom or Triton -- VERY good karts in their day and still have good speed on most dirt track surfaces.
If you're looking for cheaper yet, you'll be looking at lesser adjustable chassis (Banshee and Stalker for instance.) You will most likely want an offset chassis designed for oval racing. Sprint chassis are straight up and have different seat mounts. FWIW, "Sprint" in the context of the karting world refers to chassis intended to run on road courses and have absolutely nothing to do with "sprint cars" or "outlaws."
As far as how much you will need to spend, it's really all in how serious you want/need to get at your local track.

Best bet is to go to your local track that you want to run and find a kart for sale that is already setup for that track. You'll save yourself a lot of headache and hassle this way.I know my local track does outlaw karts and I have a few friends that race them.

I’m looking into outlaw karts, seems to be the one thing I can find as a hole kart sell out with guys wanting to move up to 600 micro sprint cars. Looking like anywhere from 5-10k. But most are rollers, which wouldn’t be a bad starting pointIf you are serious about going racing you might want to consider a whole used kart operation sellout. You will find that needed kart tools and spare parts could cost you more than the kart alone does.
Get a used go kart in good condition decent price, get used tires if no holes and used rims not bent, be aware of gouchers when you buy partsI’m wanting to get into kart racing. Been thinking about it since I rebuilt a go kart for fun but had to sell it. I’m wanting to get into racing but have no clue where to start. I’m in California. Thanks in advance for information.

Competitive being the key word here .. it will soon take over the mindset of just having fun lolCheap vs competitive will be a trade-off in most cases.
