I have decided to race for a season of grass kart racing. 
Problem is i know feck all about the karts!! 
I am looking at buying a rolling chassis which has brakes, wheels, seat and steering. I need to find a 250cc geared and air cooled engine? Has to be
from a road bike too.
Trouble is i cant seem to find one? 
Anyone else had any experience in karting?
Donated karts parts welcome

Just looked up Grass Kart Racing on Youtube.
That is the daftest thing ever invented - it's brilliant!
Where's the best place to find out about local clubs/series? There's a place just outside York that does Grasstrack racing, but canlt seem
to find anything on Yahoo searches.
