Getting back into Karting
Discussion
After 15 years of last competitively racing a Kart I am looking to get back involved this year into the 125 Gearbox classes.
I am having a bit of trouble locating much second hand equipment and finding any properly active forum for the Karting scene these days. I am looking to get into the KZ 125cc gearbox class and despite it being apparently be very popular, I can only find 3 current classifieds for Karts available.
Are there any forums/sites I am missing for up to date classifieds and club championship information anyone knows of? Seems a bit of a mission to actually find the clubs that race the gearbox classes apart from the main national Super championships.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Most groups/forums seem to be on facebook these days.
Where are you based? Forest Edge (Hampshire) run a decent sized KZ grid. They also have a buy/sell/wanted group on facebook, although there aren't many ads posting wanted ad usually gets some results. Same for Uk kart parts for sale.

Yeah I had a look on facebook but it seems there are so many groups that people are just scattered everywhere, think I will just have to look through all of them for items for sale 
I'm based North London area so Forrest Edge is certainly do-able. Are the KZ grids dying now? I was reading up how popular it was meant to be but now i'm looking around the club scene to find regular meetings to get to, it seems they either don't run the class at all or the grids are tiny. Rye House is my local and I used to remember watching gearbox classes there but it seems they don't run any at all anymore for instance.

I'm not sure about other clubs. Forest has consistent grids of over 20 though. Appreciate it's not local but I think that's probably as good as it gets.
There are a couple of teams that would probably be worth contacting but I can't remember their names. Possibly drop by at one of the races and meet some gearbox racers or put a message on the facebook group.
