You can't buy a CycleKart and, even if you could, the racers wouldn't let you participate. You have to build your CycleKart. It's one of the many reasons this is a very cool hobby.

On Sunday we are going to take it off the table for a shake down run. The test run on jack stands is done. If all goes well he will take it home on Sunda
