Do you like to drive fast but don’t want to get in trouble on the road? Are race cars a little too scary for you? How can you enjoy the happiness of speed without getting in trouble or hurting yourself? The answer could be to go to the go-kart track and drive one of these small, speedy cars. A go-kart is a small, open car. It is very light and easy to drive. You can go quickly in a go-kart but not too quickly.

For years, people have enjoyed building and driving these small, fast cars. It’s a great way to feel fast without too much risk. And you can also try a lot of fancy driving tricks in a go-kart. Actor Charlize Theron recently spoke at the Daytona 500, a big NASCAR race. She told people how much she loves car races, and she talked about racing go-karts with her family when she was young.

Go-kart has no any protection stuff such as bumper or iron roof, so if you drive fast maybe get in trouble or hurt yourself, however it is a race car.
