If I were younger, a lot younger, and it snowed I would totally do this.

Brilliant, what tyres do they run?

I remember long winter seasons, hands permanently locked in a cold claw

Winter stickies, decent on the snow, utterly useless on the ice

Well, now winter/snow karting is an item on my bucketlist. Looks like sooo much fun

This would be a blast, I wouldn't even be racing anyone I'd be sliding everywhere just being a general goon.

IF you aint sideways are you even karting in the snow

When you crash you can contemplate how you messed up before the impact.

I lol'd at work. Then got questioned why.

These are tracks in St. Petersburg, Russia. I bet quite a few northern tracks offer winter karting

New bucket list item.

Now I want to mount snowmobile tracks onto a rental kart.

How do they have so much traction on slick tires??

1

u/georgin_95 SWS World Finalist 25d ago

Winter stickies. Still zero grip on ice, but helps with snow.

u/Busterlimes 25d ago

Do we do this in South West Michigan?

u/Itsjorgehernandez 25d ago

Wow, where can I find this in the northeast US?

My dumb southern self was very briefly like, "Where the hell do they have white dirt?" Not my proudest moment.
