Oppoeducation: Shifter Karts

I was kicking around the internet yesterday, trying to find out what age kids can start kart racing (just for kicks, my kid is just 2). In doing that I found a dusty little track right near my house! It has been around forever and so have I, but I never knew about it.

I figured, “Eh it’s probably closed.” I checked their Facebook and there was a post from the day before, so I messaged them that I was interested and asked how to get involved. Some one responded saying I should come down and rip a few karts to see what chassis I liked then go from there...

Obviously I’m going to do that. So, any of you have them/race them? What can ya tell me?
