Folks, let us gauge the enthusiasm level for our kids or your friend’s kids to start karting before we surprise the daylights out of AP!…. Even though my kids dont fit no more into cadet class karts, I still do have many friends that have kids that does…hehehe! If you dont mind the list could possibly start as follows:
1. Fazz’s (at least one qualified – I saw)
2. Muhaymin’s ( a bit too early eh?)
3. Luen’s (dont know)
4. Patrick’s (two boys?)
5. Razak’s (that kid was around quite a while)
6. Rizal Khalid’s (one?)
7.
8.

10.What a sight to behold…..Uncle Jules leading the cadets round the track with some proud parents (some wear worried looks for sure!) onlooking. Yeah, that will be the day!
[quote=naza]4. Patrick’s (two boys?)
[/quote]The elder boy is already in the adult class chassis. Remember he joined his 1st race a few weeks shy of his 14th birthday?
I don’t mind mind my younger son (12.5 years old and 145cm tall and in a dilemma stage) joining the kadet class race but he has basically outgrew the kadet chassis but slightly a little too short even for the shortest adult class chassis without any additional paddings. (He needs the additional cushion to be placed at his back to be able to press the brakes comfortably)
Kadet class chassis is good up to 140cm tall and adult class chassis is good if you are above 148cm tall, so how about the in-between the 2 heights lah?
my eldest daughter turns 13 this month and in the past she has expressed interest to join me during my-kart’s races to see if she can ‘have some fun’ in a kart.
unfortunately i’ve missed waaayyy too many races in 2006 and was hoping to make a more serious effort to lessen these ‘no-shows’ in 2007.
soon i’ll start her with driving lessons (with me as instructor… poor girl… don’t know if i’ll have the patience haha!) and was hoping to promote/inculculate to her ‘safe driving habits’ through my-kart’s activities, so yes, i would definitely put her in this cadet class.veedubs rulez!

my sons were both definitely keen on karting. the big brother has a little bit more confidence. Little bro’s problem was that he was sitting rather low in the kart. not sure how far he could see from above the steering wheel. elder sister -who turns 13 this year- a bit lukewarm but was visibly happy with the experience. they made a friend on the track the other day and were happily sharing the experience – i think with more friends their age… they would find it more interesting.

Personally, I don’t think we need up to 10 participants to start such a class but it will be good if there are more than 10.
I feel that to have more than 6 is already good enough to get it started and the ball shall roll back to CK’s field to come-up with the number of karts.
great! even better. Now we can start talking to AP or CK on running a K4 class? As it is we have about 6+ already. Let the ball roll…
Cleaning up the list below. Better if we have their names rather than question marks

12.It will be great if it could kick off. My youngest son always feel left out as he is not tall enough to participate in the adult class chassis and he will be very happy to race with kids around his age.

Managed to discuss a bit with AP on our kids using cadet karts (Mitsubishi 4 stroke engine, will run for ages). He is adamant that he has more cadet karts in his workshop and just waiting for myKart’s confirmation. Currently I saw one kart running and one more under repair at the parc ferme.He indicated that he wish to help kick start our cadet karting and charging almost nothing for the kids to practice initially (the businessman talking again..!). However, he recommended the kids to practice on weekdays and avoid busy tracks on weekeneds for increase safety in view of much faster 80 /100 / 125 karts flying around. Its a valid point but how many of us can be free on any weekday is something to think about.
Assuming 5 or 6 cadet karts are available by next week and parents can find time to get their kiddos to practice on weekdays or weekeneds (if possible), we can have my_kart’s first ever k4 or cadet race in February 2007….another chapter made…hehehe!
Normally, what’s the minimum height and weight to join this cadet class carting… ? My son also interested with this programme.. Just wondering if he could fit in…

for now it is free format so your son should join in to see how it works. let’s define this category as we go along.
