Derek. Cale needs this.

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting one of those, but it's hard to justify when you can get a real racing kart for less...

Here's one for $400 if you get the place next to the kart track!

That seems just a wee bit excessive for a 3 year old.

I'm not getting into karts at least until AFTER the Chevelle is back together (won't say finished )

Used race-ready offset karts with clone engines can be bought for ~$800 and they're a fun locally competitive class without much for expenses to maintain (new engine =$100, tires last 2-3 seasons, etc...)

Something like this, just have to find one local.

BTW, Jenna nixed making an offer on the house by the kart track... at least until ours is sold.

While typing this reply, my realitor called to schedule a showing of our house... first one in about 6 months. Fingers crossed...

Sounds like you've already done your research.

Good luck on the showing!
