Well at age 62 I finally got back in a kart for the first time in 30 years. I raced 250 gearbox karts back in the day in the British long circuit (road courses) championships. Yesterday I was driving a Topkart Rotax max that I was given and I had such a blast. Not the same power and thrill level as the 250 but the adrenaline was flowing mightily. I can’t wait to get back out there soon.
This might be the end of off road motorcyling for me now, yesterday brought back so many memories from the past I might have to get back into racing karts!
Awesome, looking good there! If I recall correctly that corner has an evil bump when you run the track counterclockwise. Great choice of engine, glad to see you back behind the wheel!
Actually not too bad! I’m in pretty decent shape tbh which helps. Shoulder/ chest area a little sore and my shoulder blades from the seat. I need to get a smaller seat as I was moving around a little bit. I did purchase a ribtect rib protector which worked really well. I never used a rib protector in my past karting life, we had wrap around seats and added padding here and there for a snug fit.
