Go-cart racing
There are various types of go-karts, and the most common types are gravity racers (also known as "Soap Box Derby" carts in North America), quadracies, and motorised go-karts. Gravity racers are powered by gravity, while quadracies use bicycle pedals to propel themselves. Motorized go-carts are powered by a small internal combustion motor. Depending upon the rental, the engine power is transmitted via a belt or chain to the rear wheels.
Sulky cart
Sulky Racing is a sport that was first held in Norway. It is now enjoyed all around the world. Although the sport is usually held on frozen lakes and other areas, most sulky races are held on purpose-built racing tracks. There are three types of sulky carts: the jog and the race bike. Each type has its own purpose and different features.
Race bikes
Car racers ride bikes on carts instead of traditional sulkys. Race bikes can be faster than jog-carts and are more aerodynamic. Race bikes require greater athleticism and aerodynamic design. The bike's poles, made of lightweight material, are lighter in weight. Sulkies today are lighter which allows for faster racing times.
Jog carts
Jog carts are lighter than racing bikes and have a longer shaft. The latter is made from aluminum or carbon fiber. A jog bike can seat two people, while a racing bicycle has one seat. These bikes are also lighter than jog carts, which are often made of wood. Jog carts look more like cars than bicycles, but they do have some important differences.
Harness racing
In the late 18th century, the sport of harness racing was introduced to Italy by French blood stock. The sport quickly spread to France and other European countries and the United States. Races were held in Italy as well as Belgium and Holland. It was first introduced to Sweden in the 1880s. By the end of the century it was being held in Austria and Germany. It did not become popular in Great Britain until the fourth-century, when U.S. stock were imported to Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere. In the late nineteenth century, harness racing began to grow in popularity.
Safety issues
There are several safety issues to keep in mind when competing in cart racing. It is essential to have a properly fitting neck brace that doesn't restrict breathing. Braces that are too tight can cause racers to sweat and become very abrasive. It is important to avoid your hair getting caught in the axles, particularly if you are using low-seated carts. An axle can be seriously injured if a ponytail is caught around it.
