Hey

How many people would be interested in go cart racing.  I am talking about real racing with real go carts.  What would the interest be if we opened a track and started promoting go carts on Friday nights or Sunday afternoons?  This is just food for thought, if I can get enough interest, I might be able to work something out.  A friend of mine owns the bakersfield cart track out by hart park and if I can get enough interest I might approach him about opening it back up and promoting some good cart racing.  You can shoot me an email or just post a response.

there is a guy at my work that was real heavy into that a couple of years ago i will talk to him and see if he is still interseed in doing it

I am not seeing any interest in this venture.  Anyone care???

Troy,

Where are you talking about doing gocart racing and what type of gocart racing are you talking about?

I know there IS already gocart racing in many cities, for instance Santa Maria has a really cool track, and I'm pretty sure Bakersfield has a track too.

These are ROAD COURSE tracks.  I know some guys who use to do DIRT OVAL karting too over in the Central Valley someplace (Maybe Fresno area?)

I have a friend that owns the old bakersfield cart club out by hart park.  it is road course style racing.  i know several years ago it was pretty big.  it would be professional style racing for kids or adults.  i would not be providing the carts, it would be something you would have to provide like any other race car.  i would work to make this as big as possible.  i would need some help however, i figure it would be a few years before this would be completly self sufficient.

This is still just a thought, if I can get the support I will approach the owner of the track.

The place is pretty run down so I would need help getting it back in order, painting, lawn care, general repairs.  Just the stuff that makes the place work.  If you can think of it we would need it.  Officials, scoreers, flag man, tech, gate workers, concession employees, everything!!  I would like to come up with a plan of action and present it to the track owner.  My thinking is, let us use the track for a year or two to get established and then start renting it from him.  i dont have any money to invest so this would be a joint effort on everybodies part.

I believe kart count and interest at a Dirt Track would far out weigh a road course.

CHOWCHILLA HAS A DIRT OVAL FOR GO KARTS AND QUADS I HAVE WENT THER TO RACE QUADS AND SEAN KARTS LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FUN I WOULD GET A KART FOR ME AND MY SON IF THERE WHERE A DIRT OVAL FOR KARTS CLOSER YOU CAN GO TO CHOWCILLABARNBUNER.COM CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS

I think taft has a dirt oval that many people run during the off season. Its on the east side of the 119.

the whole go cart racing thing sounds like super fun. i think it would be an awsome experience for the young racers to get started on. i know a few kids and families that would want to participate in this.!

For Dirt oval kart racing the track needs to have minimal banking, a couple degrees banking.  also check out "www.qrckarts.com".  A 500cc kart in my opinion would be bad ass fun.
