Thumbs up Re: gocart building
Having experience with racing go-carts I would say that a Honda GX160 would be more than enough to power you and your friends (maybe a GX200 if they are bigger carts or such) to at least 30-40 MPH with no problems. They can be bought NEW for around $350-400 from Northern Tool and Supply but these are very common engines and could be found at garage sales (at least mine) for less. Try a Quarter Midget swap meet (should be popping up soon this time of year) these are the standard engines.
Good Luck!

If Lansing is not too far of a drive for you there is a Quarter Midget track behind some restraunt (sorry forgot name) that would be able to help you find a used engine.
