Kimsoo is a 15-year old who has been doing karting with SCCA as long as we have been doing autocross. There are many things we could say, but Kimsoo says everything better than we ever could, so we’ll just let her take the wheel for this episode. 

In this episode:

• What’s junior karting
• How to get your kids involved
• How to get your own kart (and should you?)

Today we sit down with the Guenthners – Bob, and his son Dylan. 

Bob is a funny guy and a fantastic autocrosser, but it’s 12-year old Dylan who steals this week’s show. We were super impressed with Dylan, who competes at indoor/outdoor karting and shares his experiences as he sits down with us behind a massive spread of trophies in front of him.

In this episode:

• League karting for kids and adults
• Non-league karting
• Yes, Bob really autocrossed with a Camaro and a Dodge Magnum
• The benefits of autocrossing on an airport runway
• Bob’s experiences as an instructor
