Most people run either Supermotos or mini supermotos on the Kart tracks here. Little CR85/YZ85/KX85s on 17" rims and moto3 slicks. They're not hard to convert - heavier oil and new springs in the forks and shock and that's about it. Brakes maybe.
I've got a very tatty Honda RS125 with a CR85 motor stuffed in it which asides from being a torture rack, is hilarious. The 85cc two stroke engines are AMAZING fun.
So much cheaper than track days. One set of tyres will last a season and track fees are a tiny fraction of the real deal. Also, because the speeds are lower and the bikes weigh nothing, you can crash with semi-impunity. Leathers last longer etc....
Don't know about the UK but the whole scene here is super mellow.
