FFfan gave you some good advice. You will find Kart people are very helpful and will guide you on what is important and what is not. First decide which kind of racing is done in your area (road race, sprint, dirt, etc.) then visit some kart shops (many have or know where to find used equipment). Then go out to the races, volunteer as a corner worker or such, talk to as many people as you can. Find out which classes are growing in your area and which are not. Find out what the minimum you need to get started and then jump in, remember to ask questions, don't be afraid to ask for advice or to borrow what you don't have. Remember, everybody was the "new guy" at one time, you will be surprised how supportive most karters are. Happy Motoring!
