If you wanted to get into karting I'd recommend the 100cc Yamahas like Evan said. Those have 20-30 hp so you're not going to be penalized quite as heavily on weight. They also have different weight classes for the Yamaha 100's.
The Yamaha 100 kart that is really popular with the WKA guys at SP is the laydown type (like GQRob's). For sprint karts (sit up) there are two tracks in Maryland, then Beaverun, then NY. Evan and I will probably check out a sprint kart event or two this season in MD.
My biggest problem with karting is that its very fragmented and convoluted and even more of a secret than road racing is.
