This is how I see pro and con on both.
Kart pro: Real wheel to wheel racing. practice, qualify and 3 heats beat 5-6 laps on 1 min course.
Kart con: Equipment is pricey, you need to tow a trailer or pickup truck. On race weekend usually I pack and get everything ready by Friday night. Saturday head out to the track 2-3 hours to set up your kart. Then Sun is a whole day race. That is it your whole weekend gone.
Auto-X pro: Use you own car just a few upgrade will do. You done in half a day so you wife don't get mad and you can take her out to dinner after the race.
Auto-X con: 5-6 laps that is it.
I do both 2-3 years auto-x, then switch back to gokart. Now without a job my wife said no job no play. So until next year. PDX maybe!!
