We have been in business for over 17 years and have over 25 years of karting experience. Below are some helpful hints to get you started off right.What is Kart Racing?Kart racing is one of the fastest growing forms of motorsports in the U.S. and extremely popular around the world. You can begin racing at age 5 and continue well into retirement. Many participate out of enjoyment while others use it as a stepping stone into a professional racing career. Most current Formula 1 drivers and many Nascar drivers started with racing karts, and many still use them for training during off season. Kart racing is relatively affordable and allows for more seat time than any other racing vehicle. Due to the wide array of classes available it is easy to find something that will fit your budget.Kart racing It is a great family sport that everyone can get involved with. Some families have multiple drivers which can include, dad, mom, grandpa, etc. But whether you are driving, assisting, or a spectator you won't be disappointed. It's a great way to spend the weekend with the family. It teaches good sportsmanship, mechanical know how, mental strength, and offers fun physical activity. And keep in mind you don't have to race to enjoy karting. Many kart owners just show up to open track days to beat their time, burn off a little steam, tinker with equipment, and get some physical activity. How to get started in kartingThe most important thing to determine before buying anything is where you are going to run your kart and what class you want to participate in. Until you figure that out you might end up with a lot of equipment that you can't use. Go to your local kart track/s, walk around, and ask the racers questions. Most racers are very friendly and more than happy to give you tips to get into the sport they love. Find out the class offerings from the entry desk or the kart track website. Most tracks have a website with classes and results posted. Visit a local kart shop or two, browse equipment and ask questions.What does it take to go kartingOne consideration before buying is seeing if your local track offers arrive and drive sessions. These are typically much slower karts but it will get your feet wet. A relatively modest budget can get you started, but the initial investment is up to you. As a beginner, a used kart in good condition (no more than 5 years) is an option worth consideration. A used kart can run between $1,500 to $7,000. For club membership and race fees, you should consider another few hundred dollars per year. Most local tracks require a racing jacket or suit, a helmet, and gloves at minimum. You can expect to spend $400 and up for safety gear. Expect around maybe $500 to $2,000 more for spare parts, extra tires, and professional engine maintenance for a season. Of course those costs can get more expensive in some classes of karting. As a beginner, these amounts should be sufficient. You should also compare prices and options available for a new set-up.Transporting a kart can be done in the back of a pick-up, a small trailer, or the back of a van. We have also seen them in the back of larger SUV's, station wagons, and even strapped to roofs. For working area a small shed or garage will work well. Karts can be stored vertical against a wall if you are constrained for storage leaving a foot print of about 26"x56". A small set of metric tools will also help you get started on the right foot. Please read below for a list of equipment you may want to get started.Karting Classes and Age Groups5-7 year olds - Kid Karts: Usually powered by a small 50cc 2-stroke or 4-cycle engine. The most popular engines are the Comer C50/C51 2-stroke engine and the Honda GXH50 4-cycle engine. Most local tracks treat this as an exhibition class to allow the child to learn driving techniques.7-13 years old - Cadet Karts: Classes range from Briggs 4-Cycle, and many 2-stroke options like: Rotax Micro/Mini Max, IAME Micro/Mini Swift, Micro/Mini Rok. It is best to check with your local organization to see what is offered in your area.12-15 years old - Junior: Junior classes are faster than cadet karts. This is a very fun class that uses a full size kart, along with a 125cc 2-Stroke TaG or Rotax restricted engines . At the club level, 4-cycle classes such as LO206 Jr II Briggs are also offered for entry level drivers and tight budgets. Again check with your local organization.15 years and older - Senior: Similar to the Junior class but without restrictors. There are 2 stroke classes like a TaG or Rotax , 4-cycle classes like the Briggs LO206 and World Formula, and Shifter kart engines like the Honda CR125 or ICC. Minimum weight requirements are higher and so are speeds.32 years and older - Masters: The masters classes have some of the best turn outs and can be the most exciting to watch. A higher weight minimum is used along with age, so heavier drivers can be competitive. Same motor applications as the senior karts.45 years and older - Super Master: This is a new class that was just started. We predict this class may grow. Will not be offered at every organization.Buying Used KartsAs a kart shop assisting many customers with used karts we want to advise you to be very careful when buying one. Buying a used kart may seem affordable at first but fixing it up can be very expensive. Keep in mind that most racing organizations have class rules and you want to make sure what your buying is legal. As technology changes so do motors and specs. Brakes also require maintenance even while not in use (brake fluid, brake seals, etc.)do wear. Whether you buy used or new we want to assist you in your karting venture. We don't want the "new karter" to get frustrated and give up before they even start.Equipment to get started in KartingKart: New, used, or rentKart Stand: with wheelsTire Gauge: 0-30psiAir Compressor or TankFuel JugZip TiesTools: May vary depending on chassis and engine. But most chassis are made in Europe and use metric sizing. Hex wrenches, metric sockets, soft blow hammer, basic screwdriver set, drill, spring puller, impact driver, torque wrench, and a catch pan.Fire Extinguisher Mechanic GlovesChain Lube and OilContact CleanerVarious Sprockets: You can ask your track or local shop what sizes are most commonly usedSpare ChainMiscellaneous nuts and bolts: We offer basic hardware kitsHelmet: We don't recommend used helmets (impact damage does not always show) A great choice for a new, safe, affordable helmet would be Zamp. Make sure to check the organization in which you race for the rating requirements.Race Suit: Kart specific race suit. Some clubs will allow heavy long pants and an abrasive resistant jacket.Gloves: kart specific, abrasive resistant, or leather road racing gloves.Shoes: High top wrestling shoes will work at some clubs but we recommend kart specific shoes.Neck Protection: We carry many styles to fit any budgetRib Protector: Not required in adults but highly recommended. The most common injury in kart racing is a cracked rib. And not from an accident just from the g-forces. We carry many styles to fit your budget.Curtis, Corey, and the whole team, I just had to write a huge thank you to Acceleration Karting for yet another fantastic customer experience. From day one everyone I have dealt with has gone above and beyond to help me - from explaining products, checking order status, and today was Corey finding me a part simply from a description on the phone! Curtis has been so generous with his extensive knowledge, and being new to the karting world I can't begin to tell you how lucky I feel to have found Acceleration. I have bragged on you and your shop to everyone I meet, and will be sending anyone and everyone to you for ALL their karting needs. I never write reviews, but Acceleration has inspired me to take the time to congratulate and thank you for offering a rare commodity in a sea of mediocrity: real people who care about their customers and their industry. Joe Scalf ~ 3/2019"I’m surprised how fast you process all the orders. I have ordered items from you 4 times and every single time you’re as fast as the previous order... You’re amazing!" Christian ~ 03/2019"I ordered a CRG Kid Kart earlier this week, with Holden. I really want to pass on how great the experience was. We were in a slight time crunch, not to mention that I really wanted to get the best equipment possible. So we got the kart on time, completely put together, and ready for the track. This was completely unexpected, and a great surprise. Not to mention, Holden found a way to save me money (which in this sport, every dime saved is a bonus). So we got the kart, my kid slipped in the seat and he fit perfectly. Seat size and location was ideal. Holden always exhibited the highest level of professionalism. Next year, I have to buy 2 cadet karts. Bottom line, unless something magical happens, I will be dealing with Holden next year buying my 2 cadet karts. Thank you and your staff for making this a fantastic experience." Steve ~ 10/2018"I'm new to karting, this site is working well for me. You always seem to have time to answer my questions, even tech related questions, more so than some local dealers. Money goes where it is treated best." Dan ~8/2018"You Guys are so good and so fast. Way above the rest. Thanks." John~7/2018"Just wanted to send a quick shout out to the entire AKR team. I’ve ordered all of our parts and a helmet exclusively from AKR this off season for my sons new kart. Everything is always shipped so quickly and without any issues. Thank you for that and can’t wait to finally get it on the track out here in NY to see it all come together." Bryan~3/2018"A HUGE thanks to your team for helping to answer all my questions and getting my order shipped out overnight for the owner. They were awesome.We will definitely use you again and refer friends." Dawn~3/2018“Thank you Shop AKR for being our number one go to for parts! You guys have never let us down and have impeccable customer service.” Natalie~1/2018"You guys are the only people I order from and I appreciate all your help the last year, especially from Holden and Curtis. I went from a newbie last year with a 20 year old kart to now being able to hit podiums on the local levels on a newer and much more competitive CR125; you guys have been instrumental in helping me with my progression and journey. I appreciate it and you'll always be my first choice for any product I need and my number one recommendation to others." Dan~12/2017 "Hi, I just placed my 3rd order and I would just like to say, I am self employed and have dealt with a lot of companies in the past. It is a great pleasure to find a company like your's that value customer service. The few times I called in, the experience was great. The orders I placed were filled and shipped the same day. You have gained a customer for life, I will always order my karting supplies from you. Thanks again." Dennis~6/2017"You guys are awesome, you do great work for a good price."

Kart racing or karting is a variant of open-wheel motorsport with small, open, four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design. They are usually raced on scaled-down circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher ranks of motorsports.
