place to put first links

How to begin?

What are the things that I need to prepare if I want to be in a competition? But clueless about anything regarding karting.. not clueless about how to drive or taking corners.. etc. Clueless about the machine, teams, sponsorship, etc...

Let's just say.. what do I need to do from scratch till the race track with a proper team?

If $$ is not an issue for you, try swiss hutless. If you dont want to worry much regarding having a proper team, let swiss hutless do the job for you. Just sit and drive. Give them a call or visit their place.

Edwyn, if you come up to me and say "hi, i am edwyn.." I promise not say HUH!
I'll be there around 2pm and by 3pm I will have a collection of medium and small lobsters in my entourage. Or, if you are still confused about the lobster thingy, just look for a red faced mat saleh, in a red racing suit, red helmet, red gloves and driving a red kart (#35).

Hope to see you there.

well.. after all the comments about 'the red lobster', it doesn't seems to be low profile anymore. after all the prescription that you guys gave.. i went and look at the images, and found a mat saleh in red with the red car.. should be him right?

Edwyn, it was good to have met you on Saturday. Look forward to seeing you participate in Rd 8 on Sunday 19th August.

I belive a few of us will be meeting next Sunday for some 80cc practice, so please feel free to join us.

...Some buy tinted films from the local big bike shops and some order factory tinted visors (waiting period can be 1 to 2 months if current stock is zero). Some are very creative and cut their own tinted films.

hey hey hey... i got my 1st full face helmet Eye but still need the tinted films to make it looks good. got it for RM150 at my friend's bike shop at PJ. but it's local made, so the quality, i reckon is not as good as those SOL, or Shoei helmets. the brand is 'GB..something something'. gonna get my gloves like tomorrow or so. haha.. so excited!
