Open wheel go karts is just about as stimulating as it gets. Watching professional Indy Car racers speed around a 2 12 mile track at top speeds in excess of 230 mph can be an adrenaline-pounding thrill. Open wheel racing has been very popular for decades and kart racing is a modification of this open-wheel motor sport. The alteration is that go carts are smaller and compete on shortened courses Only registered users can see links on this board!

Furthermore, a great number of racers use go carts as a prerequisite to more expensive, competitive, and even faster racing. This is where some of the top drivers got their initial start.
As with just about everything else there is a big difference in the style of go carts that can be raced. Maximum speed is ordinarily determined by the go kart engines, but it is additionally influenced by the go kart frame, mainly when maneuvering through hairpin turns. Super Karts are the fastest style and can hit top speeds of 160 mph or more. If that's too quick for your enjoyment you can choose to race other types of go karts that will slow the speed down for you. Recreational go karts found at neighboring fun centers will generate top speeds that might reach just 15 mph so there's a huge range for you to select from.
4-stroke as well as 2-stroke engines are ordinarily used for racing. Various types of the 4-stroke engine are used in fun centers, but electric engines are rising in status. Electric powered motors have a number of bonuses that make them just right for short amusement center courses. They are incredibly inexpensive to operate and maintain and only require a recharge when their power gets too low. There is no need to fill them with expensive gasoline because they obtain their power from long-term high performance batteries. And lacking a gasoline motor to break down they are cheap to maintain. As a bonus, they can be ridden indoors due to the fact that they don't produce any dangerous emissions. The only negative aspect to electric go carts is that they need recharging after about 20 minutes of racing, but as high-performance battery technology improves the times are growing.
Renowned manufacturers of 4-stroke go kart engines are Tecumseh, Honda, and Briggs and Stratton among others. These manufacturers produce low-powered engines that will provide from 5 to 20 hp. These motors are typically used by amateur racers or in fun centers. But don't let the small hp trick you; a lot of these motors can propel a go kart at top speeds up to about 45 or 50 mph. This might not seem fast in your mind, but as soon as you start driving through turns in a small-sized gocart at these speeds you'll immediately appreciate just how quick this is.
Several 4-stroke engines have extra power and can generate up to 50 hp. These engines can race at up to 11,000 rpm (revolutions per minute) and are regularly used in various National Championship class races, but if you need higher speeds you'll have to buy a 2-stroke motor. Some 2-stroke engines will generate as little as 10 hp or less, but several can also furnish you with 90 hp or more at 16,000 rpm. High speeds around 160 mph can be achieved with these well-built 2-stroke engines.
In the olden days engines were cooled by air, but with today's greater speeds most go kart engines are cooled by water. A lot of the less powerful 4-stroke engines are still cooled with air, but the premier hp engines are most commonly water-cooled. With the various differences in power and energy, there is a motor out there that will be just right for your situation, no matter what style of racing you would like to do.
Sometimes following a fitness program or workout schedule is not quite as do-able as the folks writing the advice make it sound. I suppose the idea is to tell you what you should be doing to achieve your fitness or weight-loss targets, but you know sometimes life gets a bit in the way of all these plans, and there is just no way you can follow your intended program.
I know, because I am in exactly that position myself right now, and it is very easy to get derailed or discouraged and start to wonder if it's all just a bit too much to keep up in the face of uncontrollable obstacles.
My difficulty is that the local pool has closed for six weeks, and that's quite a blow to a training program designed to take me into the World Top Ten Swimming Masters again this year, so I've tried to find somewhere else to get in the necessary daily workout routine, but it seems everywhere I turn, I find the same refurbishing going on and pools closing all over the place; so what do we do? Well the point of all this personal story stuff is to say, "yes we have a real problem in sticking with the training plan but we can, and have to, adapt just to keep the ball rolling to our benefit". The last thing we want to do is give up or say, "let's forget the whole thing".
I guess I sound repetitive, as I say this in several articles, but you must, "keep on keeping on". That's the key to maintaining weight loss or maintaining fitness. It's so easy to get discouraged by the events and obstacles that life puts in the way, but the "can't beat me" kind of feeling can be nurtured by finding an alternative to your workout, and I bet that most of us have some aspect of our program that we have been meaning to work on, but have been too tied up in the regular main activity to focus on.
For example, here's what I have done to combat the lack of pool time. I'm doing some sit-ups, heaven knows I've been avoiding that pleasure for ages now, and I'm getting in some push-ups and a little work on the arms with some light weights, or if you have no weights, try two milk container jugs (the ones with the handles) filled with water, as barbells.
Yes we all know that one, but you get the idea of what I'm saying, improvise, you do. Only registered users can see links on this board!
