For my kids

Took them to the local track the other week and rented a kart for myself. So much fun out on a big outdoor kart track, now I want one for myself

Only a matter of time before they'll be driving the BRZ!

Yea, that was the first place we went with the new kart. I live pretty close to it. I rented a kart and they followed me on track.

I used to ride my sportbikes there as well, about 16-17 years ago

Nice! I've got my two kids sharing a kart in JA and JB, and I'm a youth steward for our region. I wish we could get more kids out at our races.

You might already know, but there's some proposed rule changes for Jr. Karts in 2018 you should check out.

Yep, I saw the updates.

We had 9 junior karts running at our last event. Most in a long time.

That sounds like a really good group to me. We only have 3 karts. My two kids, and one other. Two of them will be in cars in less than a year, so I'll only have my youngest in a kart. I'm worried he'll loose all enthusiasm if he's the only Jr. Kart at our events.

Yeah my avatar pic is actually me on my ninja 250 at IMI. I always wanted to have a kart when I was little but it was not meant to be haha. Real nice kart though!

Our region was like your's up until this year, maybe last. It used to be just one family (the Dorsey's) for a while. Having other kids definitely helps the motivation for the others. Hopefully you can add a couple new kids to the program when the karts free up from the kids moving up? (that's how we got our kart)

Nice, and thanks!
