Too heavy for karting?

I have long been a huge fan of motorsports, and karting has been something that I've thought would be within my budget and means. What has kept me out of it thus far has been my size.  I am 6 foot tall and I weigh 100kgs.  I am jogging and dieting with the hope of bringing that down, but with my frame (think Prop), I will never ben less than 95kgs, even lean.Is there a class for me or will I just be getting in the way and finishing last?  I would be interested in hearing from the big drivers…See More
