Yesterday, I took on the huge task of pulling my championship Kart out of a "jungle of clutter" which took 2 hrs. I'd like to get it back going, but its been sitting since 2003, so you can only imagine what this will involve.  Id like to run it around my circular driveway as I think it's barely long and large enough turns that I hope wont burn up the clutch. |

Neat, altho I think the older one might be more appropriate for driveway use!

Neat, altho I think the older one might be more appropriate for driveway use! Yes, I would agree. But Id like to give the big one a shot and see. I thought about this for a few months, I think my oval driveway is barely big enough, especially if I put the biggest sprocket on.  (wide angle)    |

Both of those carts are cool! I think you might be turning left constantly with the Champ Cart. You will be walking around with "TACO" neck for a week...LOL

They are hard as a rock. |

Well, if you decide to get it running you’ll have to change the livery to include The Model Car Channel Store and Indycals.  Paul Erlendson |

Paul Erlendson I'm not going to change anything with this one, BUT if I can comfortably test run this one and I feel good about it, then I'd be more confident in getting back into kart racing with a whole new effort, then we could possibly see a neat livery  |

I put together a quick video of my Go-Kart racing career 20 years ago.

Edited out all the bump & runs? Looks like it was fun, of course I think ALL racing is fun, so....

I was running overweight by a good 25 lbs, I was so much bigger than the other drivers that it was an advantage and disadvantage. An advantage when it came to dirty combat racing but a disadvantage when it came to getting off the corner. I was good at braking late. But was able to get into it to rotate in the apex and back on it as soon as possible.... I'd sure like to get back into racing |

You might be nervous at first, but you'll pick it right back up. Have fun, Calvin! |

I would have my eyes set on possibly doing shifter karts and that is absolutely insane, anymore. I would really have to build up my strength, again. But Im working on that. |
