I'm thinking of building a go-kart. Unfortunately I don't know anything about it. Mainly, the centrifical clutch. Where do I buy one? How much do they cost? Any other tips and ideas? Our shop is on a dead end street and I want to do some weekend go-kart autocrossing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Ok, I'll confess I need a KART. Like I don't spend enough $$$$ on the teener. This needs to be a Junior Kart for Autocross. Not keen on the wheel to wheel stuff.
Saw 8 year old girl in a Junior Kart Saturday night AX. She ran within seconds of the big cars. Actually I think she beat the lower 1/3 of the cars. (not me). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

My 5yr old said "Hey I want one of them". No reason not to. shop this year for a good deal and then 2 years to practice in the local parking lot. April 2007 he should be able to put a whippin on anything with 4 wheels. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
