Best of luck Rob. I know it's an extremely expensive hobby but hopefully you'll be back in the future. Please keep us posted on how you're doing. Thank you for the uploads.
Rob, thanks for sharing your karting experiences with us! SO COOL to see my good friend Johnny West in your clip!!! He had a bad-luck weekend, but after speaking to him is more determined than ever to keep visiting the UK and EU until he gets a fair shake with the kart. He is quite a character! Good Luck with the Personal life and we'll see you again SOON!!!!
Haha, thanks so much for supporting the channel mate! Next Vlog is at Assen in 3 weeks times but it will be from a spectator viewpoint! Yes Jonny is a great guy! Thanks again for the support! 👌
@@MyRob10 Hi Rob: I raced 125 shifter karts on the big tracks here in the US along with the 250 guys. I also race formula ford back in the '70's. For me staying with the kart was more of a logistics thing otherwise I would have returned to vintage formula ford. Formula ford is WAY less hectic on race days(specially if you have a couple of mates to help). No fooling around with carbs, aero, wheel width, wing position. Just jet the car ready for the next session. I know how addictive karting can be and wanting to prove yourself to those around you, but life's short, go for the fun. The big drawback with ff is you need a trailer and maybe more room to work on the the car, the buy in may be more and a shunt can be costly. Although, vintage FF hold their value and might increase. Did you take a hit when you sold your Anderson? Just my 2 cents. Cheers.
@@rickden8362 hey Rick! I’d love to go into formula Ford, especially with me being a bit heavier than the karting lads from the gym work I do! But it’s purely the capital needed to get started in that - that’s the killer I think!!
enjoyed all your videos, as someone who did short track karting in the past and plans to do div 1 in the future would you mind giving a ballpark figure for the all in cost of your Div 1 adventure? Wish you all the best in the future, there are always the prokart rentals when you need your fix without breaking the bank!
Thank you mate! I’ll be back racing in no time! Just need to build my finances! I’d say to run well and be prepared for everything you’d be looking at around 1 - 1.2K per race weekend
@@pariodeusex no probs mate!! And yeah definitely agree! Racing is something I’ve done now for around 7 years! Nothing beats it! Hope you can experience the Div 1 Superkart mate!!
I remember starting in karts late 80's (100 clubman) and you could run on shoestring. By the time I packed it in the ladies in the lap counting caravan had gone and replaced with expensive transponder kit, people using telemetry and new tyres one each heat. Although work was the reason I gave up I still couldn't believe how much a season cost in 2010 Vs what it did in the late 80's.
Yeah costs have certainly gone up, but that might be because numbers for the sport has declined too? Higher volume = reduced prices! Low volume = high price! Such a shame and is almost counter intuitive unfortunately!!
Ok, so I'm a couple minutes in and it's why I stepped away from SCCA GT3 and went karting years ago. Any class of racing at the medium to highest levels is crazy expensive. That said, there's many ways to get track time, rally, Gymkhana, drags, and even karting in dirt to enjoy the rush and save your marriage 🤣. As you close in on age 60+ you will find there is always someone to run with and you don't stress as much. And finally It's like booze, it starts out fun and ends ugly. Keep your gear Rob. hance USA
@@MyRob10 so I had my hip replacement July 5th; daily wear and an old b-limited sideways off on Daytona's infield all add up. True: Your hip will dent an Enduro fuel tank 🤔

Thank you Jerry! Very much appreciated mate!! Assen Superkart Vlog coming in 2 weeks time!! We travel out tomorrow!
Sad this was last race as was very interesting watching your channel.
I really appreciate your kind words! Tried my best and sacrificed so much to race… I guess it can only go on so long unfortunately 😩
Awww just got hooked and I get to the last race video but I understand more important things than racing gl in the future friend hope you come back
I appreciate your kind words mate!! Never know! Maybe I’ll be back one day! 💪

"Spectating" will be difficult for you after Competing regularly, prepare yourself. I know John is attending so we are looking forward to it!!!!
Old racing saying:
How to make a small fortune in racing...start with a large one. 😉
Hope to see you back again.
Hahaha that saying certainly rings true!!

@@MyRob10 Have you looked at vintage ff? It's usually much cheaper than regular ff.
Enjoyed your videos. Take care mate.
Thanks Lee! Got more racing/Superkart videos coming v soon!! Assen! 🔥
My the force be with you...from the U.S.A.,GOD BLESS

Hello. How much bhp produce this engine ???. Thanks you. Marcelo from Uruguay 🇺🇾 🇺🇾 🇺🇾
Hello my friend! The twin engine Superkarts produce around 100bhp but only weigh around 115kg! So they are lightning quick!

Wow , my USA buddy Johnny West in UK ?
You'll never regret the time you spent racing .... only the money you spent 😂 GL🍀
Definitely no regrets!! Life’s far to short not to enjoy the things we love!! 🔥💪
