The Woodbridge Kart Club is a great way to start. They race at Summit Point main, Shenandoah, and VIR North course. Unless a person is a licensed race car driver the WKC will not permit a person to start out in a 125cc or larger shifter. 125cc shifter karts are wicked fast at Summit Point, running lap times in the low 1:20's, with a record time of 1:13.5 in an unlimited 250c.c.
It is usually best to start out in a direct drive kart, either open wheel, or a laydown, with a Yamaha KT-100 engine. These karts run lap times in the low 1:30's depending on the class a person runs in. A person can run multiple races/classes simply by adding/subtracting weight, or by running a different exhaust.
A good set-up can be had for about $2000 with everything needed to run.
Races are $75 to enter.
A lot of answers can be found here:
