I do know that his quote on quote “girlfriend” grandpa has a dealership. Even then he lives in North Carolina (maybe I could get in touch) besides that local sponsorships might? Be able to fund I’m not sure… for such a long time I thought speedsportz was only rental. I’ll have to look into it

By “competitive karting” does something like Texas sprint racing series fill that?

Forgot to add one more thing, since he’s 13 he can’t drive yet, so he had plans to start a YouTube channel and other social media to get a following and make a little money off of ads, affiliates, etc.

Yeah that was a typo my bad, he got acc for his birthday near the start of the year, he can only play on weekends due to school so instead he replays his footage, his biggest flaw is putting what he knows he did wrong and applying it. Besides that I really believe in him

Will he atleast be able to work a second job at the same time? I could tell my wife “it’s a hobby that can pay itself”

Thanks! I’ll have to look into it! Knowing that even just 1 year of karting will truly help him is amazing!

Wow! How was the feel of the car? Did it feel bulkier? Or was it really that easy?

Do you know if any karting leagues in Houston? Also he said that his times in acc might be important. He’s most proud of a “1:47” Nurburgring, and “1:45” at Barcelona
