Karting for old folks

January 23, 2008 1:20 PM

Getting started in go-kart racing at an old (for the sport) age. Where to start?

I'd like to get into karting on the weekends, but I've got a few parameters:

1.I'm in my late thirties and tall, so if I'm racing against 14 year olds, there should be a weight class.

2.I'd like a series with parity, maybe due to a sealed engine specification.

3.I want to race on circuits, not ovals.

4.I live in New England.

Any thoughts?

Have you checked out F1 Boston? They fit 3 and 4 and I know they have leagues, don't know if they are organized by age. When I have been there it was a really mixed bags of ages.
