TAG questions to group

[Michael Carson]

I am seriously considering joining GCK (TAG adult class). I plan on attending the Aug. 10th event to make sure I would be a good fit for y'all. My goal is to be ready to roll at the next event (Sept?). Ideally, being able to test drive a TAG cart, AUG 10th or sooner would help. My challenge is I have no Kart, or suit (full gear). I have a DOT full motorcycle helmet but is that sanctioned? Any way I can rent the above from someone for a test? I could come to the track most days or time.

My background is competitive jetski racer, Nascar (Rusty Wallace school), indoor gokart (K1, etc...), competitive endurance horse racing. So I have some driving skills. My tel. # 832-628-7669. Hope one of you would be willing to assist me. And... if all goes well I would be in the market to buy a TAG kart.

Hi Michael,
If you haven't already, speak with Dave or AB at 3G kart racing about their rental program. I'm not sure if they still have it, but they used to for people just like you. The cost included the kart (TaG class), set up, and full track side support (mechanic and tuning) for race day. I don't think they included gear. They were racing in California this weekend, so give them a few days to get back to the shop, Im guessing they''ll be back by Wednesday.

Another option is to come out on the 10th, meet everyone, get input from all the different racers and other track side support company (RPM). I have seen in the past that a few members offer up test rides at the end of the day to newcommers.

good luck!
