Answer 6

I believe Jeff Gordon started out in karts, THEN went to midgets, etc. I think Dale Earnhardt, Jr. did it that was as well. It all depends on how you feel about the genre of racing that type of equipment.  

Are the go-karts dirt-based, or are they the lay-down types that will do 110 mph on the big NASCAR circuit tracks? I'm sure both are fun in their own right. It all depends on what you're looking for. I'd start with karting first, then move to Midgets if you feel you want to move up to a more car-like ride.

Answer 7

i have been around karting most of my life. i personally believe karts are a better way to go and teach you more as a driver. quarter midgets are fun but most drivers out grow them and go to karts anyways. i say learn to turn both right and left. quarter midget engines are alot more expensive to maintain if you wanna be fast too. do what makes you happy but as a professional, i like karts best. alot more opportunities and different tracks. don't do just ovals too.
