The karting community is a social group and racers are usually willing to give you a few minutes of their time. You will get straight-forward answers to your questions and gain a bit of first-hand knowledge from the racers.

Once you have purchased your own kart the best thing you can do is to get plenty of practice/ seat time. You will be faced with many new challenges not found in other sports. Become familiar with your new environment including how your kart handles under different set-ups and various track conditions and its capabilities/limitations. These are the initial steps in gaining confidence and preparing for your first race.
