I ran your code and looked at the errors under the 'Preview' tab. This is what it showed:

./GoKart.java:38: error: class, interface, or enum expected
}
^
1 error

So, looking at line 38, it appears there's an extra unnecessary curly brace }

You might benefit from doing your work in an IDE like IntelliJ where it will alert you to issues like this as your write your code.
