Go carts have been on the sports landscape since 1956 when a man named Art Ingels welded scrap tubing together for a frame, installed and steering wheel and seat, and added a West Bend brand lawn mower engine. When he added four small wheels the go kart was born, and quickly started a national craze.
Ingels’ go kart could reach 30 miles an hour, and soon attracted the attention of other motor sports enthusiasts. Ingels worked for Frank Kurtis, builder of the Kurtis Champ Car Roadsters for the Indianapolis 500. Naturally Kurtis and other people around his shop took at interest in the new go kart, and soon enthusiasts were building and racing go cart variations at 30miles an hour using only a 2.5 horsepower motor.
In North America the go carts gained great popularity with national car magazines began to cover go kart activity. Popular in America and Canada, the go kart quickly spread to Europe and today is more popular than ever and considered a great way for people to enter into motor sports racing.
Racing a go kart is a sport full of excitement and is often called gut wrenching by those in the know. Many racers compare the ride of the go kart in feel to Formula 1 racing, and do it for a fraction of the price. The cost of entering into go kart racing is low enough that it is a family affair for many. Classes in competition go kart racing are based on age, weight of kart and driver combined, type of motor and the experience of the driver. Ages of drivers of go karts are eight years old and above.
Getting into the sport of go kart racing is not for the timid since the name of the game is excitement. But the sport itself has a good safety record. The go carts are mechanically very simple, easy to store and transport, and a whole lot of fun.
For a good driver, or anyone who imagines himself to be a good driver, the art of racing a go kart is a challenge worth taking up. With your butt barely two inches above the ground, the go kart offers a feel of the road that drivers of newer designed and larger vehicles have never before experienced. Trying go carts on for size could be the most fun a driver has ever had.
