I spent half a Boxing Day at City Karting Shah Alam, practicing with my brother, Huffiz and Brian, a fellow My-Karter, who trained Porsche car racers in the United States. I had a chance to learn a thing or two from Wei Leong, Malaysia's Formula 2000 champ. He's currently training up young and upcoming racers on the Swiss Hutless Rotax Max 125cc. They start as young as 7 years old.
I also checked out used go-kart prices - Wai Leong said the Swiss Hutless is selling for RM12K. There's a cheaper range selling for about RM8.5K. But, I'm in love with the Intrepid 125cc, which is just one race old, selling at RM22K. Man oh man...don't I just wish that I have a rich boyfriend who would buy me that!
Haslina Ali, or "Bubu" another My-Karter who was training together with us today, bought one for RM7.5K a couple of years ago.
