I just bought my newest off road go kart.
Awesome! Red Bull has added drivers to it's junior program. What are your tracks like?
All dirt with a variety of hills and turns.  super fun
Some of the best tracks to visit are in Kentucky and Florida. Kentucky's track is one of the biggest in the country!!
That would be super fun.  My favorite tracks are not just an oval, but a bunch of corner and hills.
There are many types racing tracks around the world, with their own styles. Some people like to race on dirt, but also pavement.
pavement is fun, but where we live everything is dirt, so I went with off road karts.
The shifter Kart has a gearbox. They are super fast. A lot of racers use these. I imagine it is a blast when it rains.
Yeah, sliding around corners.  This is why I like dirt tracks, you can really drift the corners.
You can even race dirt tracks online. A lot of professional racers utilize this to learn tips and tricks on the real track.
That is cool.  I did not know that.  So are they similators?
Yes, there are several different ones. You can take the wheel into your own hands. There are a lot of virtual racers with their own leagues. 
I may have to look into that.  This would be great practice when I can't get outside.
You should check out Street Kart Racing. It is ranked one of the best! It can really hone your skill. 
Great to know, thanks.
You have an interesting hobby. Go Kart racing is one of the most accessible forms of racing around the world.
