Not to get too off-topic, but what are some resources for learning more about karting? I plan to spectate at the WKA event at Road Atlanta in the Fall, and was curious if there are some good websites for learning more about the different classes, karts, etc.
I'm about 6'4" and 230lbs, and was wondering if someone my size could even drive a kart, much less be competitive. Is there a Giant/Fat Guy class?
What would be a reasonable cash outlay to get started, assuming a new kart and protective gear? What little I've read made it sound like the Touch-and-Go Karts might be good way to get started. The shifter karts look really interesting, but I'm guessing the costs would be a good bit higher.
