    be careful not to take on too much stuff to do, if you find the racing to be a lot of fun, you won’t have time for the Calloway project, which is a huge project

      I’ll still be working on the Callaway on the weekends as I have been since the beginning.

    I would spend 500 bucks on tires for 2 sprint race’s in the mid 90s for a weekend of racing it’s expensive as crap

    • @mycorvettelife
      @mycorvettelife  2 года назад +2

      For a kart or a car? A set of tires for the kart are $250 and last about 4 months of weekly driving.

    If you go with Corvette inspired theme on it, don’t forget the Jake Skull logo. Maybe on the front there. 😎

    I raced competitive karts in the 60's & early 70's...great times/great memories! I ended up racing Enduro karts on sports car tracks in a lay down Hornet Allegro with 100cc Komet (Italian) engine.

    I highly recommend you take your vette to the track at least once. Maybe there is a track night in america at your local track, which is the least expensive way to go.

    • @thomaswilson8634

      I subbed to a channel called froggy. He races his vette in California i think. He was always fixing something on his vettes

    Would love to see from when you start and then maybe 5-6 weeks later and just see how much you improve. Just getting seat time is the best way to learn👍
    And as a alternative you might want to go out and check out a local corvette club or Sports car club and check out a auto cross if you haven’t already.
    I was just introduced to your channel and absolutely love it and I am spending almost too much time going thru your videos. No matter what you do I wish you the best of luck👍

    This is awesome. Please record some hot laps for us. I hadn't thought of kart racing in a long time. Does anyone know, from a price standpoint, is racing a kart cheaper than, say, racing a sport bike? Also, what was that great sounding jam at the end of the video?

  • @67chevellered

    I used to race a rotax tag kart. Lots of fun! You should think about doing autocross in c5. Doesnt cost too much and not too hard on the car. Local events all the time.

    Hey I got to drive a 2022 c8 yesterday. I was totally impressed. Fastest an best handling car ive ever driving. But its still not at least to me a real vette. Wow thats a fast little cart you bought. Nice very nice sir.

    Well, this is a surprise. Keep us posted, this looks like an interesting sideline to keep you busy while waiting for Callaway parts and for services to be done. I bet that a future project will involve a Sawzall and a C4 to build a Corvette Kart. Thumb up.

  • @TheSurfRyder
    @TheSurfRyder 2 года назад +1

    Definitely go racing. I’m tempted to get into it locally it’s a smaller spec but the best time racing for super low costs.

  • @stevediduck9963
    @stevediduck9963 2 года назад

    what a surprise. Wondered what you have been up to. Thought maybe you got frustrated with the Calloway and needed some down time. That's ok but a race car as it is that was a surprise. Wouldn't mind seeing some video on that.
    Are you driving the C 5 at all?

  • @petercarey6883
    @petercarey6883 2 года назад

    You definitely need to mount a GoPro to the kart and have a helmet cam as well and upload videos of you on the track! You know what they say about all work and no play makes Jack a . . . . . . . well, you know. 😉 I think a break from the ZR1 teardown and rebuild is a good thing and not just for you, but for all of us. Save the Wave👋, even if it's from only 2" off the ground. 😁

    That is to awesome. I’ve always wanted to drive one of these racing carts. My uncle had one when I was 8 or 9 yrs old, it had 250cc Yamaha

    • @mycorvettelife
      @mycorvettelife  2 года назад

      250cc is a death trap. My friend has a 125cc shifter that will do 85mph.

    To be good in that cart, is sometimes harder than a full size race car. Enjoy.

    Happy Thanksgiving Chris to you and your family. Love the video on the kart. Do you drive the C5 vette much ? Any road trips or videos on it in the future?

  • @rotorblade9508
    @rotorblade9508 2 года назад

    probably the most efficient way of racing/tracking. I wanted to do trackdays and bought a bmw z4 then after a while it wasn’t that much fun anymore also because it was not properly fit to do lap after lap. Then I wanted to sell it and buy a race car. Other than karts, there are a few options chaper than racing other car, I found: formula ford, vee, funyo f4/f5, radical prosport, formula renault 2.0. But it’s not that simple for me as I don’t have a garage, plus it needed a trailer, takes a lot of time to prepare it, so I ended up buying a c4 which is nice to drive even if I can’t push it too much and it’s limited, couldn’t find not even semislicks for that size but it’s ok. I also have the option to rent a racecar to do a few laps
