Just wondering what its costing you this year to get ready? Im up to $2800 and that not including the $1000 I had in parts for complete rebuild on the shelf. I couldnt even sell kart and engine with complete rebuild on everything right now for the cost it took to get in A1 condition!

No wonder people dont stick around.:mad:

Oh wait i forgot to add $225 for new set of tires. Thats only good for first time out for season practice!:shakehead:

At the end just to get ready $4000. :jawdrop:

Can of WD-40 to Clean Kart $4.50
Changed Engine Oil and Filter $15.00
Maybe will have to change a clutch this year $110.00

Going on 4 years this is the yearly cost.
Thats why I love these 4 stroke TAG'S

Lol, I feel your pain. You could have just bought a new chassis and sold your kart + engine for a $2500 to cover the difference for a new engine.

Now think about the people who rebuild their engines every race. That would be $600-900 additional every race.

Racing is expensive.
