Dangers

After finding multiple articles addressing the dangers of go-karts i feel that wiki may want to consider adding those dangers to this entry.

Here are examples:

Please consider these types of injuries for your readers' safety.

Mistakes and cut off sentences

Several sentences in the Engine section are cut off or missing by the looks of things103.150.254.38 (talk) 13:21, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Earliest Mention

Mention is made of a go cart, first pulled by people, then by a horse, in the August 30, 1877 issue of the Chillicothe, Missouri newspaper "The Crisis." Page 1, lower right. The story is reprinted from the Burlington (Iowa) Gazette. This issue of The Crisis is available on newspapers.com. 43hellokitty21 (talk) 03:27, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move "Recreational, concession and indoor karts" content to kart racing

I suggest that some of the section go-kart#Recreational, concession and indoor karts be moved to kart racing, as that section is covers racing the karts, and not just the karts themsevles. It covers tracks, rental of karts, etc. That content should be moved over, while descriptions of the carts that are used there are kept here.

Disagree. Racing Karts are worlds apart from recreational "go-karts", and the comparison devalues the sophistication and racing training aspects of the global Kart racing sport. 50.108.209.130 (talk) 20:52, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
