Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone here was into shifter karts. I am really interested in getting into them but I was looking for a good site where I could start learning about them and possibly some classifieds for used karts.

Google to find a Kart club local to you. Go to some races and ask a lot of questions. You'll learn a lot about your local Kart racing scene. Also, ekartingnews.com is a good resource. I ran shifters (roadrace) for 25 years, but retired 12 years ago. If you have no prior Karting experience, then a shifter will be a rude awakening; just take your time.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) see if someone has a 125 TAG kart you can try first. Once you have some seat time, then try a shifter.

A 125 shifter on a sprint course is .... Ultra violent... to borrow the phase from a clockwork orange.
