  Kart racing - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Kart racing (as the word is so spelled by enthusiasts) or karting is a variant of open-wheeler motor sport with simple, small four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design.
Karts were initially created in the United States in the 1950s post-war period by airmen as a way to pass spare time.
Karts typically have no suspension, and are usually no bigger than is needed to mount a seat for the driver and a small engine.

 Kart racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chassis is an extremely important element of the kart, as it must provide, via flex, the equivalent of suspension to give good grip at the front, and must be stiff enough to enable the inside rear wheel to unload in corners.
Karts have no suspension, and are usually no bigger than is needed to mount a seat for the driver and a small engine.
In the very early days karts were direct drive, but the inconvenience of that setup soon led to the centrifugal clutch for the club level classes.

 Fun Kart
Because the kart manufacturer does not start each kart after assembly, it is important that the dealer or the kart owner take a couple of minutes to read the owners manual and review the recommended procedure when starting or servicing a new kart.
During assembly at the kart factory it is possible that too much tension was placed on the throttle linkage causing the engine to idle above 2,000 rpm (the starting speed of the clutch for engagement).
A good rule of thumb is the kart and driver (and passenger when it is a two seat kart) should not exceed 400 pounds.

 Dunlop Kart Tires
The gift presented by the frame and body is the wind enveloping the whole body, and the 4cm ground clearance compensates for the strong lateral G force when cornering.
This is a delicate balance but kart regulations are strict so that the ratio held by the tires is very large.
There are countless other problems kart tires must handle such as weather, track temperature, track condition as well as the match between technique and frame.

When Super Mario Kart was released for the Super NES in 1992, it defined what would become a frenzied genre of "kart racing" in video games.
On the surface, the Mario Kart design is almost too simple to believe that it'd make for a gripping contest: It's an arcade driving contest with one button for the gas and one button for the brake, and each course offers spots where special items can be retrieved and placed on the track.
Other rarer finds include a blue shell (that seeks out the player in the lead) and lightning bolts (that turn every other vehicle into a smaller and slower version, which can also be run over for a further delay).
