Karting is an excellent way to begin a motorsport career.  If you research some of the top Indy Car drivers, most of them began their careers as karters.  It definitely has better bang for buck - lots of racing all year round, all over the country and is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of motorsport.  There is a range of different classes depending on age and the persons weight, plus many different engine classes.
