they're 100cc fully blueprinted motors
not sure what it will top out at, havent been to too big of a track yet but i want to, im sure it would top 90 or so, it all depends on gearing.
yeah, i bought a blue yfz from illinios, did you change your name on here? hope the racing is going well for you.
but yeah, go karts are a blast, not nearly as crazy as racing mx, but its still racing and its fun

Thats cool man.

I've wanted to race shifter carts since I was born. Looks like dirt tracks for you.

Yeah, the ones I know of, different classes go frome 70-90mph:D

How much do they cost to get into? I've wanted to do it for a while, and sites where I can learn more about it?

the only site i go to is www.4cycle.com
it has an awsome forum, you'll find everything you need to know there.
it really depends how nice you want to go. if you bought brand new everything with a couple sets of tires, you would have less then 4 grand in everything, its pretty cheap compared to quads.

What are the age limits, and classes, and do you know of a place where I could find a track listing for my area?

there alot less physically demanding, you still wake up sore the next day but not nearly as bad, i would say there about the same when it comes to amount of fun.
theres alot of engine builders out there, does he build briggs? i would consider my yamama motor builder the best in the midwest for building yamaha motors. if i can take it to tunica and fly past some of the top guys in the country, i would say he's doing a good job. too bad he's getting older though... anyways, thanks for the replies!
