Thinking about going to the Jim Russell Karting school at Sears Point. Has anyone done this school or one like it?. 350$ for a day seems expensive up front. Or should I just keep going to Lemans Karting in Fremont. Best lap was 23.6 last friday

QUOTE(ss6 @ May 11 2003, 08:32 AM) Dumb question, guys, but what are the demographics in karting? Is it mostly teens and twentysomethings, or is there an old-fart contingent as well. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun. I won the CA State Championship for drivers over 40 at age 41. I'm 57 now and wouldn't attempt it. Lay down enduro karts can be driven by anyone who is alert enough to go that fast. Not that much physical effort involved. You do take a pounding though. I quit at 47 due to a neck injury that happened at work. It's hard to go back. I built my 914 as a substitute. As the Eagles said, "You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave." |
