Also im about 92kg. Am i too heavy to even have a hope of being competetive? I usually get smoked on the hire karts :melt:
There are 2 weight classes in SA, light and heavy. Heavy you are competitive up to 100kg's. Vic has a superheavy class for up to 115kg people.

Ongoing costs for me are roughly:
Tyres: Every 3 race meetings at $250 a set
Engine: Every year average of $750
Entry Fee: $50 to $100 per event
Licences: Club membership $300 licence $265
Fuel: $15 a meeting

Those are the big ones that I can think of. You'll also spend a bit on various fluids and tools as they go missing, but hard to put a budget on them.
