Shifter Karts
I've always wanted to try racing shifter karts. Does anybody know of any schools, classes, or places to rent karts in the area? I've found a couple on the web in SoCal, not sure if they are any good. Anybody have any experience attending any classes or schools in the area? There's a place that does indoor electric karts, for some reason that just doesn't sound as exciting. Shifter karts look like a fun yet fairly inexpensive way to race.

I love kart racing! Racing karts is fairly simple and forgiving, yet very fun!!! Learning is easy, just keep racing once a week or if budget allows as much as you want to and skill will build naturally.
Also join a league, I thought I was hot ***** until I got my a handed to me by a semi-pro karter
Good luck!

I got a bunch of my friends to come with several times and took them to the track, raced in a league, and just randomly went when I felt like racing.
A decent kart costs around 10k if you buy a built one or if you know what you are doing you can build one yourself and save a few bucks. Then you have to add in storage fees, or get a trailer if you are going to be towing it. Honestly though I never seriously looked into buying a kart, so you might be better off researching or asking someone else.
