Hello, welcome to karting.
I’m Greg Welch my dad is Doug who is the owner of Shockwave Karting. Charles and Mike are both customers of ours. Just a heads up look to spend around 3k to 3500 on your first kart, it is very hard to find anything below 3. Also normally if you do find anything for that cheap its typically not worth it. I was out at the track for a bit today, I think I pulled in after you left however, we had two tag karts out with red white and blue Shockwave graphics. You definitely picked a good sport.
We are having our 3rd free seminar of the year this coming Saturday at the Shockwave factory. This one is on data acquisition so a lot of the material will be stuff you don’t need being new. However it will be a great chance to meet a large portion of the karting community and to ask any questions you have. we also have all the different chassis and engines lying around that you could see and get more familiar with karting. It would be great to see you there.
Greg
