Hello all,

I've lurked a bit on the forums reading up on what I can and figured it was time to introduce myself; I'm Gary.

My son and I have been talking about building a go-kart for about three years now but every time I look into it it seemed like the learning curve was way too high. I'm in the computer industry and don't get a chance to get my hands dirty very often. Recently it came up again and I said it's time to get started, regardless of the time/money investment. So today I signed up for a class on basic welding at the local college and should have the semblance of a clue by October.

There is a lot to learn though and I'm hoping this site will be a good resource for not only showing our progress but also for some help.

We want to build something that can handle our ATV trails up here in New England without much trouble. I'll probably write a fresh post when we get started within the next month or so and I look forward to reading more about all of your projects.
