Great video, Ryan! 1) Go to your local track, talk to everyone there! 2) Buy a nice used, and complete kart, make sure you can race it at your local track! 3) Go racing! The rest will come ;)
Thanks Ryan this is great info
Should have pointed out the lo206 as well
Thank you very much. I really had no idea where to start
Good advice 🏁🏁👍
So helpfull
What! No Rotax? Some of us are not in the US. Our big ones in Canada are Rotax, Rok and Briggs. This is good advice though. I just started Karting last year after transitioning from MX, my Masters aged body doesn't like getting so beat up anymore. I live off competition, I couldn't just quit racing. Luckily I found Karting, I love it!
This video applies to the US mainly. But yes that’s why it’s key to talk to your local track. Thanks for watching
good stuff
don't forget about the 206. little bit cheaper cost and very close racing. Great info on 2 cycle. Thinking of making the move one day. Thanks for telling everyone safety is everything. Don't skimp on safety equipment.
Yes 206 is a really fun class
I'm a teen who wants to get into karting. I'll be paying for it myself. Are a suit, gloves, and rib protector really needed? I think I can handle bruises and such for karting, and I'd like to cut the cost for now- I'm using babysitting and birthday money, and loans from my parents. Do you have a video or more tips about actually buying a kart? I'm especially wondering about the different brands, and wether or not chassises correspond to the class (might be a dumb question). Also, the track I'd probably go to (Trackhouse/GoPro) is a bit far and I don't wanna ask my parents to drive me when I don't absolutely need to go. Your videos are super helpful and thorough- keep making more! :)
And for everybody who hast Talent and more Money ist that the netter step because you are only focused on your self and Not how you get in the season and what Kart you buy and all the Other Problems when you are new in this sport
i would love to do it but i dont think i can do it cause of the amount of money i would have to save and the karts that they want to sell are over 400 and 500
hi! question, howcome some drivers will switch from team to team if they did good with their first team? Thank you!
I’m committed to karting but how do I take it to the next step after winning regional championships
apprieciet that bro
Investment ^^
Hey Ryan. Just watched your video that you posted about braking two years ago. Do you still do everything you said in the video? Everyone has always told me not to trail brake into corners. Do you have any advice on that. Thanks!
Yes I still do. When most people say trail braking they a referring to you braking harder as you get closer to the corner. What I explained is not that. You want to brake hard initially and progressively use less brake as you get closer to the apex.
Great question!
Okay. Awesome. Thanks for the advice!
you still race at orlando kart center???
But you can also go to a Kart Team. But the Problem ist you must pay 7000-10000€ in Germany for one season in a middle Team.
Hi Ryan, good video. But I have one question for you. Is it best to build my own go kart? I can't find any complete karts for sale, so I was wondering if it's best to build my own kart.
It depends on how much you are building. Buying a kart and engine separately and assembling them is normal to do in the sport.
@@NorbergNation ok thanks 😀
I am a beginner and dont know anything but how do I know how to fix my engine or swap engine 😢
Hey a question, so I started doing local Karting 2 years ago and now I think I should take it next level and go to skusa but idk how to join and if it’s rcaed by teams or individuals plz help ASAP
It’s raced by both teams and individuals. The first year I raced the pro-tour, I raced alone. I did just fine. Just need to see what works best for you. You can enter their races online.
@@NorbergNation can u tell me how to do it alone cuz I’m really new
Thanks for the info, the cost is always an issue:/
Briggs in always a low cost low maintenance engine, A lot of tracks should do club races with the 206, and there is CKNA or different regional series to race in.
@@piercesonderup3864 I was reffering to racing karts, like X30 or Rotax engines, and I do not live in the US:)
@@thanasisprofilis5169 You in Greece?
@@miltiadiscolivas5060 Yes, go to my channel, if you have been to Greece you might recognize the track:)
Are you doing uspks this year?
Yes I am
@@NorbergNation With RPG?
@@mateonaranjo333 yes
Is that protective gear like the suit fire proof? Is fire even a real issue?
Karting suits are single layer suits, designed for abrasion if you fall out of the gokart.
Nomex-triple layer suits are for car racing, where fire is much more of a risk/concern.
@@SturdivantRacing126 what about neck collars? Are they needed?
@@pauldamm3345 Neck collar and rib vest are not just for safety, they make driving more comfortable too
@@pauldamm3345 Rib vests are a must. Neck collars are optional and would be a good recommendation for younger kids. Many senior drivers (14-16 y/o and up) don’t wear neck collars.
@@pauldamm3345 Depends on the series. Some series require them, and others don't.
I always wear mine, because it makes my wife feel better that I'm wearing one, so it doesn't bother me.
Is it too late to start trying to Profesional Karting when I'm 36 years old?
It is never too late to start karting.
The real question is how do u afford all of it. People paying 5k a weekend smh
I think you need to have a rich father
I dont know how expensive it is in USA but in Germany Professional kart series start at 1k a weekend
@@erik-fg3jk it is in the USA to but by the time u get with a team/travel and entry fees tires chassis it gets up there
It’s definitely not the cheapest sport, unfortunately.
The guys in the WSK spend 200000€ for the season. For them it's no problem. They are from Russia, India , Dubai. To compete for P1 you need to be super rich.
1 big step for those under 18 watching these: Need ur parents approval:)
Exactly
@@NorbergNation I've been trying for 2 years but now that Im 18 and about to have a small jobs.... Time to join a racing team!!!!!!!!:)
