Hello Petr -- Kartcross looks like amazing fun, but does not exist in the USA. Please share some details about your kart and about the racing series you participate in! Did you buy it with the Honda CBR600RR engine, or is the chassis a kit that you built or modified yourself?
That looks AMAZING. We have nothing like it here in the us that I know of. What does it cost to get started driving in kartcross? What are entry fees like for a race?

It is a Czech Kartcross Championship. Every Kart must be from RSK company, which is the prudcer and also the promoter of championship. Every car must have same parts (chassis, tires, fuel, wheels,...) except the engine (you can put in stock 600cc 4 cylinder engine - Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, ...) and the driver. Minimum weight is 325Kg. Brand new kartcross is for 18 000 USD and used for about 10 000 USD. I bought used and old one, but my father is a good mechanic.

If you have the Kartcross, National license, FIA approved suit you can pay entry fee 1000 USD and race in official Czech championship race ;) You can also participate in amateur races, which are cheaper, or go Hillclimbing or slalom...
There is currently an importer in the US, but no organized series racing them. Popular in Scandinavia. I have friend in Sweden that does this with his son driving. He said buy in for a good used kart is $10-$14k US. Then of course you can spend more. Different levels for different age groups, with different engine options.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
yes, this is awesome!
Not every race is awesome. In Czech we do more offroad tracks than in Scandinavia (not good for me).
The second race was full of potholes, mud and bad luck.
Did you hit a bump, or the wall, causing you to spin out in round 1?

I hit a hole there. It was my first time on this track and I did many mistakes ;)

The first time these things showed up in tech inspection I had the pleasure of poking around and trying to figure what class we could have them run in. The default was AM.
The Cal Club region is a magnet for the unusual, just a normal weekend of autocrossing. And, these thing are quick. But drifting is slow.

We can have only 600cc engines. 750cc or 1000cc should be great!
My first podium with Kartcross buggy!
Awesome, congratulations!
Wow! That's cool and extreme!!
I also tried a slalom (autocross) 
In reply to Klouczech:
Wow! 
that sounded awesome
It's like driving the badass offspring of a shifter kart and an arial nomad. Thanks for continuing to share your videos.
This looks INSANE(ly fun).
This race was tough! Many crashes, injuries and my first rollover in my life. But I survived 4-times repeated final run and finished 3rd!
Okay, that rules. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Klouczech:
Good job! It looks like you are carrying much more speed through the corners than most of your competitors.
