am not going to provide you with plans or go kart kits, these kits generally don’t comply with CIK-FIA regulations and therefore you can’t race them competitively. If you are in the market for go cart kits, I am sure the ads above and below will offer some to you. If you are looking for kits to build a go kart that do comply with CIK-FIA regulations (and are in Canada) refer to “GENERAL SPRINT KART SPECIFICATIONS” provided by the ASN 2007 Technical regulations from www.asncanada.com.

There you will find regulations on:
• Main frame construction
• Roll cages
• Overall measurements
• Chassis suspension
• Driver position
• Floor pans
• Steering linkage mechanisms
• Steering shafts
• Steering wheels and hubs
• Brake systems
• Front Wheel Retention
• Rear axels
• Wheel hubs
• Wheels
• Wheel balancing weights
• Driver’s seat Bumpers
• Bumpers
• Rear wheel retention
• Ballast weight mounting
• Fuel tank and System
• Clutches
• Chain / oil guard

• Changing ratios
• Competition numbers and number panels
• Instrumentation and Communication
• Throttle return spring
• Seat belts and Mirrors
• Hand controls
• Transponder
• Transponder mounting location
• Driver’s name
• Tires
• Engine preparation

If you go and read all of this information it is clear that go cart kits generally don’t comply with the rules of competitive racing. If you want to race competitively, do yourself a favour and buy an official chassis from known karting brands!

Like I said these kits generally don’t comply with CIK-FIA regulations so if you are in the market for one for fun, like in your backyard or parking lots, there are ads here that may provide you with what you need.

One of the best ways to start go-karting, is to try driving in an arrive and drive program near you. Arrive and drive is basically what it sounds like. You arrive, pay a fee, and drive a kart with others to get a taste of competitive racing. It’s a great way to get a feel of the kart before you invest in purchasing your own kart. Most arrive and drive programs will offer to provide you with most of the safety equipment needed to race (helmet, neck guard, etc.), but be sure to double check. Overall, arrive and drive programs are a great way to get a feel of go karting or just have a great time with friends and family if you’re ready for a little more speed than those kiddie go karts.

The World Karting Association (WKA) is a membership- owned, non-profit corporation formed in 1971 to regulate and promote the sport of competitive kart racing. We establish the rules and procedures to set standards by which to sanction tracks and to conduct annual championships for various types of karting. WKA has grown to over 10,000 active members and 120 sanctioned tracks nationwide to make it the largest sanctioning body for kart racing in the United States and one of the largest in the world.

The “go-kart” phenomenon began in the late 1950′s as a fun and affordable form of motorsports with informal parking lot events rapidly growing into organized competition on purpose-built tracks. Since then, the sport has spread around the world, forming a true “grassroots” of motorsports and spawning a multi-billion dollar industry. While the “go” in the name has long since been dropped by those involved with the sport, karting (properly spelled with a “k”) has gone on to become a primary recreational activity for an estimated 100,000 plus Americans annually.

Karting can be a relatively inexpensive hobby or a legitimate and sophisticated training ground for those looking to move into other forms of professional motorsports. A majority of today’s drivers at the highest levels of racing trace their beginnings to competitive karting. They include Tony Stewart, Sam Hornish Jr, Sara Fisher and Danica Patrick, to name just a few. Many others have made karting a life long hobby and/or career.

What is a kart? They have no suspension, are about 72” long, 50” wide, and weigh approximately 150 pounds minus the driver. Engines vary from 5 to over 30 horsepower, depending upon the class. What is not a kart are the vehicles often sold in hardware and auto parts stores aptly called “yard karts”. They are fine for putting-about on the back acre, but are not designed for racing. Competitive karts are for tracks only – never on the street or an unsafe area.

There are two types of karts: sprint and enduro. The sprint kart is the most common type of kart. It normally runs short races on purpose-built, .3-.7 mile paved tracks with left and right turns or on 1/6 to 1/4 mile dirt or paved oval tracks. The specialized kart called an enduro is longer than a sprint kart so the driver may fully recline to minimize wind resistance. Enduro (road racing) events (including some classes for sprint karts) are run on “full-size”, car-type road courses such as Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL and Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. Click here to read more on the series’ and what each one has to offer.

Organized events are available to individuals beginning at age 5. Formal competitive classes begin at the junior stage (age and generally run in 3-year age groupings until “senior” status is reached (age 15 or 16, depending on the series). Around 45 percent of competitive event entrants are juniors.

Regardless of an aspiring driver’s age, experience or budget, there is a karting class for them. Newcomers find an excellent place to get started is to find a nearby kart shop. A kart shop will help beginners get acquainted with what is happening in their area and provide valuable assistance in securing the right equipment to get started.

There is not a better way of introducing yourself to motorsports. It offers an excellent entry level for racing that is safe, economical, and fun. From the beginner to the experienced veteran, it is a sport that involves the entire family. It teaches the humble way to enjoy a victory and continued success, as well as, overcoming defeat and moving on to the next race. It is a great way to grow as a family, a person, and as a driver. WKA invites you to join us for the ride of a lifetime!  Another good organization, not karting related is

Sprint Racing

Sprint racing takes place on short, purpose-built
permanent or temporary road-style courses (both right and left hand
turns) and are typically of short duration (eight to 20 laps). Sprint
drivers are from all age groups, from 5 years to senior citizens.
PSGKA conducts sprint races on its permanent 3/8-mile course at the
Mountain Hi-Way race track. A typical race day program includes
practice sessions, time trials and a series of two or three heats with
winners determined from point totals accumulated during the day.
Sprint racing is the most popular type of kart racing with nearly
100,000 competitors in North America. Typical maximum speeds for
sprint racing approach 90 m.p.h., depending on the type of engine.

Oval Track Racing (speedway)

Oval track kart racing takes place on
traditional “big car” speedways or purpose-built kart racing ovals,
and includes drivers five years and older. Surfaces include dirt (or
clay) and pavement. Oval tracks can be temporarily constructed inside
of buildings such as arenas and exhibition halls (Oakwood Arena action
pictured above), and therefore are popular in the winter. While
sprint-style race chassis are popular in oval track kart racing, many
manufacturers now build karts with chassis offsets specifically for
“left turn only” (LTO) applications. Special body work, including
wedges are also used. Typically, a jackshaft gear set
up is used for shorter tracks, while engines are similar to those used
in sprint racing. There is also a class for dual-engine karts at many
tracks. Cascade Karting Association promotes races in Western
Washington under IKF rules. It is not uncommon for sprint racers to
convert their karts to race oval type tracks. Road Racing Road racing
takes place on large tracks, such as Pacific Raceways or Portland
International Raceway, and are typically timed events similar to
sports car races. Drivers range in age from 12 years to senior
citizens.

Road Racing

Speeds for road racing often exceed 100 mph. Both sprint
type chassis (known as “sit ups”) and lay down chassis are used in road racing. Many classes of racing karts seen at
road races are unique to that type of racing, including the winged Zip
Kart. While tracks include dedicated sports car
tracks, they also can be temporarily constructed on airport runways.
Road racing events may be support events.

KID KARTS

These machines were designed for drivers 4 to 7 years old. These karts come with a 50cc engine.
Kids karts run on Sprint or Speedway tracks and allow the young karter to develop their skills in a safe and controlled environment. The design of this kart allows for maximum fun time with a minimum of maintenance. This package comes with a 50cc engine, 800mm wheelbase kart, one piece wheels, mechanical brakes, side pods, tires, chain, sprocket and fairing panel.

OVAL KART

Oval kart racing is the largest segment of the industry. Oval racing is family based, close competition available in all parts of the country. Racers can choose between dirt and pavement racing at a facility close to home which reduces travel time and expense. Most oval karts use 4 cycle engines that maximize track time and reduce work.
