The place that is the closest to you is a friend of mine David Stallings and he is out of Hampton, VA he doesnt have a kart shop persay but he does build his own motors and do his own tires and he can give you the run through no problem at all. Like i said i can hook you up with many different people depending on what kind of money you are looking to spend. As far as pulling up with just a pick-up truck i know state Champs that do that and me and my father did it for my 1st 2 years then we moved to a Flat Bed trailer then to an Enclosed trailer. A saying that you will hear alot is Speed cost money...How fast do you want to go? and it is the truth haha. PM if you have any questions about any type of karts or anything you need to know. Ive raced at most track from SC to VA and have raced dirt/asphalt road course and oval so i can help you out either way and show you a great kart shop or just get you started and help you figure things out.
