It has the added bonus of wheel to wheel cometition that you can't get from autocross.

Definately check it out if you have an opportunity to try it.
Agreed! Karts are awesome!!

I treated my 13 year old son (who LOVES cars like hs dad) to a two day kart driver training school earlier this year. I was so impressed with the training on the track and in the classroom. I've been to a number of driver training schools and this school was top notch. It makes me feel so much better about how he will handle a car in a couple of years.

He turned out to be the fastest kid in the class and easily beat his bogey of bettering the required qualifying time of the adult super kart race series for this track.

Proud Dad smile...

LOL...that's supposed to be my excuse as a 6'1 210lb guy.

Actually, at 140lbs he isn't far off some adults and the kids didn't drive the higher HP superkarts. They drove the "momentum" karts.
