I’m 51, my son is 10
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your mechanical ability, or willingness to wrench on things?
- I’ve worked in an automotive machine shop, I’ve done metal fabrication, and I’ve raced a Miata with NASA
Talk a little about your racing experience so far.
NASA HDPE, sold the car to have kids! Already bought a Nitro Cadet LO206 for my son.
What’s the main thing you need help with to get you started.
I don’t want to buy a non-competitive kart, but I can’t afford to buy a new, front runner. After my son and I get seat time, we’ll re-evaluate the best chassis to buy. LO206
I’m pretty comfortable with jumping into karting, I just need bits of advice. My son is very new to racing and karting, and I want him to enjoy it before the competition wears him out.
