Well I run in the over 40's class and I live in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

I share a Kart with my son. It is an old Kali ( that we bouf=ght second hand) with a Ymaha KT100J motor. Not as fast as the Kt100S motors.

I am 30 and started racing Karts this year… wish i had started when i was 20!!
I Race Clubman super heavy (i gave up smoking to get fit and got fat instead!!!) but am working towards Heavy
I live in Quakers Hill Sydney Australia and race at Eastern Creek kart track.
I am treating this year as a learning year and intend to travel to different tracks next year.

I am 27 and Live in Albury , NSW , Australia

I havent raced for a while due to lack of funds but usually compete in clubman light with an Arrow AX6 and a KT 100s yamaha motor.

I'm 19 now, and like Marcus, haven't raced for a while due mainly to lack of funds. My cricket has also started to take up much more time in the last few years. If I had the money, I'd still love to get back into it. I started in rookies, and finished in junior lights when I was 16. I raced mainly at Oran Park. I didn't have the money to move up through the ranks.

Fastest recorded top speed that i have seen was Martin Hines
at Daytona in 92-93 (somewhere around that time)162mph!they will also do a 1/4 mile in the 10 sec bracket.
David Coulthard drove one at silverstone and said it was the scariest thing he had ever done,i dont have the site adress
but if you do a search for Goodtimes racing it is the best superkart sitefor more info.

Robin TKM22 · 8 Aug 2001, 22:01 (Ref:127807)

I am 50 now and I started racing at 40. I wish I had the time and the money beforehand. I race twice a month in England in TKM Clubman class. I am reasonable competitive and until I show myself up and my body does not ache too much I will be carrying on for a few more years.

marcus · 9 Aug 2001, 02:05 (Ref:127909)

welcome to ten tenths Robin ..always good to have karters of all ages around here.
