First off I'd like to say hello to all the readers of The Batavian !!! I live in Genesee County and have since I can remember, I also went to school at Oakfied Alabama. I am currently the VP of a karting club located in Avon, NY. Me and my family have been involved in karting for 3 yrs now but have been around motorsports since I was 14 !!. My son now races karts at local near by tracks. This year just happens to be The Genesee Valley Kart Club's 50th Anniversary. One of the longest running karting clubs in the US. I thought it would be expensive to get into the sport but it was realatively easy. Start up cost is right around $1500 for a complete turn key kart !! I know there not alot of people who know this is still around but on a sunny sunday in Avon, NY you can hear the roar of many different types of 4 cycle engines and 2 strokes also !! Avon NY has one of the nicest facilities around and the people are awsome !!!! I will be putting some pics of my sons kart so all of you can take a look. If anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to go to my guestbook or send me an email to jp121800@yahoo.com.
