What’s the main thing you need help with to get you started?
I’m looking for advice on renting an arrive 'n drive kart for an Owner’s series. What questions should I ask? What’s important for A&D racing?
My life is too busy to buy a kart and develop the associated racing program. There’s already 5 vehicles in my household that get playtime on a regular basis. Weekends are also limited with other motorsport and life events.
However, I’ve been having an absolute blast at rental leagues and endurance races lately, so naturally I’d like to experience a “real” kart race. I’m 100% happy to rent a kart fielded by a team/shop that can maximize my on-track time. Closest track is United Karting in MD. I’m racing a league there this weekend. Having just moved into the area, it’ll be my first time visiting this particular facility, and will be asking around their paddock during practice.
Thanks for any input and experience y’all can share, it’ll be much appreciated!
