ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling at least one go kart in an operation area includes a general transmitter, an area transmitter, a receiver unit on each go kart and an idling device. The operation area includes a track and a pit area. The general transmitter is either a radio transmitter or a loop which encircles the entire operation area. Upon activation of the general transmitter, a signal is emitted such that go karts anywhere in the operation area are idled by the idling device. Activation of the area transmitter, on the other hand, will cause the idle device to idle go karts in at least one of the pit area and an approach area to the pit. This area transmitter includes a loop which encircles the pit area and/or the approach area. A control device with a timer is provided to automatically activate the area transmiter when a predetermined time has elapsed. The control device will also permit an operator to activate the general transmitter when an emergency situation arises. This general transmitter can idle all go karts in the operation area or can idle only one selected go kart. A kit can also be provided to adapt go karts to this system. The kit includes the receiver unit and idling device as well as a governor arm. The governor arm is connectable between the governor of the go kart engine and the idle device which includes a solenoid.
