Go carting is among the greatest fun for the dollar going. I love it. It's also the basic training ground for many of the worlds best drivers in all categories.

Me? Scared? Go karts into unprotected armco at 50kmh and a wheels flying past my ears is my idea of fun. In fact.. I think I am getting aroused right now at the thought. I aint scared, its been 4 months now and I can barely feel the whiplash. Fully up for a rematch. I reckon the track owner may be a little scared though.

Yep, gonna do a few push ups to try and improve my karts power to weight. You can come and help me with that if ya like.

Hey, when that wheel went flying past me at full speed, i swear i had no idea where it came from! 😂

He didnt take my license off me, so thats always a good sign, and they were quick with welding the wheel to the axle again!

Always up for a rematch Mr Helbus! 😘

This is oldish footage now but It'll give you an insight into what its like to pedal one of these brutes on a rough road course. This is what it sounds like in my old kart at Baskerville which is mighty rough now!
I can asure you, these are very, very brave men.

Enjoy!

Blutopless 2, YES!!! I'd definitely be in it, and am sure I could coax Eden into hopping along too. :P

There's also a great Go-Kart place in Moorabbin on Chesterville Road. Very professional place, great race format and cater for any size group. It has a 2nd storey viewing bit where you look down onto the entire track. Just awesome! 😀

I'm in ! I have plenty of practice, driving a Daewoo each day is like driving a Go Kart !!

It should be fun watching this though, Rod likes to think that he is king of the Go Karts !

That track in Sunshine is really good (and the chick behind counter is kinda hot too). the track has a pretty good circuit and the carts are pretty consistant and powerful.. i'd be up for that Rodimus!
