Go-cart racing
There are many types of go-karts. The most popular are gravity racers (also called "Soap Box Derby" in North America), quadracies and motorised go karts. Quadracies use bike pedals to propel their vehicles, while gravity racers are powered solely by gravity. Motorized go-carts are powered by a small internal combustion motor. The power from the engine is transmitted to the rear axle via a chain or belt, depending on the rental.
Sulky cart
Sulky Racing is a sport that was first held in Norway. It is now enjoyed all around the world. While the sport is typically held on frozen lakes or on ice, most sulky race events are held on purpose-built tracks. There are three types of sulky carts: the jog and the race bike. Each type of sulky cart is different and each one has its own features.
Race bikes
Cart racing uses bikes to transport drivers, rather than traditional sulkys. Race bikes are designed for speed and are more aerodynamic that jog wagons. Race bikes are more aerodynamic than jog carts and require more athleticism on the part of the driver. To reduce the bike’s weight, its poles have been made from lightweight material. Today's sulkies are also lighter, resulting in faster racing times.
Jog carts
The main difference between jog bikes and racing bikes lies in the fact that the former are lighter and have a longer shaft. The latter is made of carbon fiber or aluminum. A jog cart has a seat that seats two people while a racing bike has a single seat. These bikes are also lighter than jog carts, which are often made of wood. Although they are similar to bicycles more than cars, jog-carts can be distinguished in several key ways.
Harness racing
French bloodline introduced harness racing to Italy in late 18th century. The sport quickly spread from France to the rest of Europe and the US, with races held in Italy, Belgium, and Holland. In the 1880s it was introduced in Sweden. By the end century it was also being played in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Switzerland. However, it did not take off in Great Britain until the fourth century, when U.S. stock was imported to Australia and New Zealand. Harness racing became more popular in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
Safety issues
There are several safety issues that must be considered when racing in cart. First and foremost, make sure your neck brace fits correctly and doesn't restrict your breathing. Some braces, especially those that are too tight, can make racers sweaty and can even be very abrasive. You must also avoid getting your hair caught in the wheels, especially if you have low-seated carts. An accident can occur when a ponytail wraps around an axle.
