The Go Kart

The Go Kart - Then 

   We did it! In February, we finally bought a go kart for Connor and Colin. Tom and I have been toying with the idea for a couple of years now and this year we've decided to give it a go. Brand new go karts are expensive so we searched and searched for used ones. We had a few leads and finally settled on this one, which is not a bad choice at all.

 Far from it. In fact, this go kart finished last season 3rd place in points. The driver moved up to the next level so he needed to have one with different specifications. In short, he outgrew this kart. Lucky for us because then it went up for sale. All the sponsor decals and the numbers had to be removed to make it our own.

   The boys were very excited. It took us several weeks to get all the things they needed (helmets, suits, shoes, chest protectors, etc...) in order for them to drive it. Tom also had to do a lot of work to it mechanically to conform to racing standards.

The Go-Kart - Now

   Today, Tom was able to remove the old decals and put in the new ones. The boys chose the number and the color scheme. It still looks pretty bare since we don't have any sponsors --yet. We're hoping to get one or two as the season progresses. We'll see... For right now, this will do. What matters is that it's all set and ready for the first race ( a non-points one) of the season tomorrow.
