Should I just go for a 206?

Getting Started in Karting
,

So I’m in Illinois and I have been looking into karting. I was hoping on getting a ka100 but it seems like it’s just not popular in Illinois. The nearest place to me where I could race ka100s is badger kart club in Wisconsin. But driving 3hrs just to do 2 10 minute races just isn’t worth it to me.

206s are very popular it seems here so should I just go for that? Is there a ka100 scene here and I just haven’t seen it?

Note: I plan on mainly racing at Norway Motorsports park (formerly Concept Haulers)

206 is a great place to start, and there are big grids throughout the Midwest.

KA is great too, but I am not sure how many Norway gets.

If you are new to karting the 206 is a great entry into karting. KA is also great, but if you have limited experience with a 2-stroke and there aren’t many karters to network with, it may be a steeper learning curve. Another option is to go with a KA and just focus on track time/practice. Maybe others will jump on the KA wagon if they see what you are doing.

You won’t be disappointed with the Briggs. Spend the extra time on the track practicing.
