That’s ridiculously cool.

@kartmom, the ‘guys’ (and girls) here are the best. You have all the advice and resources you’ll need with this group. I can’t add anything to the recommendations above but I can tell you that you’ll be amazed at how quickly kids pick up racing. Our kids (a boy and girl) raced quarter midgets (the track is less than a mile from our house). It amazed me how quickly kids as young as 5 or 6 figure things out. The difference in driving from the beginning of the season to the end can be remarkable. It can definitely be a little nerve wracking but positive reinforcement and support will work wonders. The unexpected part is racing provided us with some of the best family time and memories we’ve had.
