So me and my family have raced everything we could get our hands on our whole lives. From hot wheels to motocross if it had wheels we raced it. Now im older own a home and we have four yard karts that we run right handed on a clay 1/20th mile track in my yard. This weekend our hobby exploded into something "real". Saturday my brother an father bought a flat kart. So i went to the swap meet sunday and wound up with a nice champ kart. I wanted a champ for the cage and since i have a career and grownup stuff along with way too many injuries already i figured it would be best. Then tuesday night my best friend grabbed another flat kart. We have a nice little weekend warrior track near me that they raced the flat kart at on sunday. This week will be my first. Ive been wanting to get into oval racing for years mostly stock cars since my father used to run them but the cost was too much. Im so happy i found this sport!! The relatively cheap nature is fantastic and i must say everyone weve met have been so overwhelmingly helpful and pleasant. I had a blast working all week on my kart an swapping to a modded predator which most ppl run and is sold by the organizer of the track.
On to my main questions and sorry for the long intro.
I live in rhode island and know of the small track near me and pomfret in ct. Also some in new hampshire. If anyone knows any other new england tracks itd be great
Also, my kart came with a yellow briggs flathead with a raptor sticker on the side. I was told it was an alcohol motor and run last at the dunkin donuts center in providence. Unfortunately this series no longer comes here. I know ill get tired of the small track and will want more competition. Id really like to enter the atlantic city race in january. With the new wka rules will this motor still be legal? And or competetive? Is it feasible to rebuild myself and be competetive? Is there somewhere to find the wka rules/regs concerning engines
We are mechanically inclined and have built countless car motors so we should be ok Just unfamiliar with rules and the alcohol versions. We also have a decent background in car/kart setup and i know i can run a line so please no bashing with ahh ur a noob you cant run that yet comments
Thanks for reading looking forward to getting elbows deep into the world of karting!
Cheers, miles
