Spent Saturday Driving Shifter Karts

Sep 4 2012

Hands down the best, most exhilarating track experience I’ve ever had.  I was at the Mosport track via Salmon Shifters.

This is a “shifter kart”:

It’s like a super-charged go-kart. You don’t normally shift gears in a go-kart; this was a pretty rare opportunity.

Basically: it’s a Honda 125cc engine, the gas can is between your legs, there’s no suspension, you sit in a plastic seat inches off the ground, and go 130km/h while experiencing a G-force of 5 around corners.

The most pure form of driving, really.

I have a video to edit, and will write an article for the newspaper about it, so that’s it for now.
