Anyone know of places/tracks in Joburg/PTA that have go karts for small kids (4-6 years old)?

Only place I found that have 50cc karts is extremeindoorkarting in Sunninghill, but only from 9 years old.

I often hear race drivers saying they started karting at 4 years old, like recently Jordan Lee Pepper said it in an interview, but can't seem to find/google anyplace where this is offered

Thanks
 
Also tried looking. I want to get my 4 year old into go-karting. Does not seem to be much option in Joburg. Maby we can start our own 'track'
 
Spoke to lady at Randburg raceway, she said they have accommodated kids from 5! Gonna take my son and check it out.
 
Build your own kart and let him race around on a dirt road http://gokartguru.com/how_to_build.php

^^THis - my nephew was driving a cart before he was 5 and racing on the main track when he was 16.

The parents HAVE to get involved if you are wanting to get younger kids driving.

I presume you want to get him/her involved competitively?

If you are in GP, then take a drive out to Swartkops next Kart race ( just behind the main track ) and speak to one of the fathers - you will open up a flood of information as the father tells you how brilliantly his kidlet is doing! :D

Thanks checked out the Zwartkops kart website - seems like the way to go. But website says "The minimum age for drivers is 7 years old in thePuffo Kart" maybe I can twist their arm

I first wanted to see if he likes it and wanted to race more often; went to the randburg circuit earlier today. They actually allow and have karts for 5 year olds! Will take him there a few times and see how it goes before we advance... :)
