They should have spec races of little cars like this, it'd be a little less technical than go-karts and a little more accessible.

I raced YSR50's for a few years and it's the same kind of deal, a 5 horsepower motorcycle that tops out at like 60mph, but the racing is so close you can literally chat on the way down the front straight. We'd race our lightweight superbike in the main endurance race with CMRA but have more fun in the YSR races.

A race series with these would absolutely be a riot. They seem very fast and grippy and well put together. Much easier to do it too; $20,000 with car, safety equipment, and spares versus 6 figure to 7 figure budgets for real cars.

Doesn't have to be, have you ever looked into Champcar (used to be known as Chump car) or Lemons racing? I did a bunch of Chump car races back in the day in a miata and (funny...) a Volvo, was fucking awesome time. Out there banging fenders in your 20+ year old piece of shit and nobody cares because those cars looked like demolition derby cars before you started.

I would do go karts if there weren't serious safety issues, but there are.

Yeah, I’ve seen the lemons before. I had assumed that was just a California series. Is it in Texas too? I haven’t looked into joining before. Does seem real fun though.
