Thanks all. Haven't snapped many inside pics b/c it's not in order yet. Having it power washed... then after that we'll start putting in the shelves and getting things together. For now it's holding our cars and my toys (karts)...

You have 4 carts and now have a motorsports team that is awesome.

Need anyone to come drive one, very slowly compared to you, so you can practice passing?

So cool. Can't wait to hear about it. Let me know. Now that the TSX is about done I want to start to learn some proper track driving cause I eventually want to track it so probably going to start going karting more this fall.

Thanks! I was actually in ther all day Saturday doing an engine swap and wokring on the karts in general. Haven't quite put it all together yet b/c we have one more small project we're working on... so once that is done we're going to have the garage floor power washed. At that point we'll start organizing it, putting the shelves in, etc. Then I'll really be out there a lot!

. Start in the 4-strokes to really learn lines, braking points, etc... then jump to the 2 once you're comfortable. Whenever I go to a new track, I try to learn it in the 4-stroke first before I jump in my racing kart. I also am partnered with a guy who trains drivers. He races cars, but always use karts to fine tune his skills. More info to come... but that give you an idea of some things...

Wow that is awesome. Very cool setup you are going to be doing. Look forward to hearing more about it once you get everything up and going. Definitely need to go checkout the Mooresville track.
