VINTAGE Racing Go Karts

[RobertC]

Man....that gave me goosebumps right from the get go !!! :thumbsup:

And listen to that announcers voice, containing his enthusiasm, and having that oh' so 60's sound.

I felt that at any moment he was going to break out with "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday !!!!"

Thanks for the video Yoop !

Picked up my Christmas present today--a "65 Fox Flyweight" kart. It was left in a garage loft when the gentleman bought the house under power of sale 25 years ago and he knew nothing about go karts. It was fun getting it out but worth every minute of the work. I started to work on it--spindles and steering on backwards as were the pedals. Plan to reverse the rear axle so the engine is on the right side. The Mac9 turns over, has good compression and no scores oo the pistons or cylinder walls. Need some parts and seat covering but that will come.

Thanks Louie--I am going to order the foam.

Gerry, your pictures are great, I love to see the cars of the era, I remember those times well, guess I am showing my age.

Yoop and the others have really picked up the slack and posted a lot of good stuff here. I thought that early Briggs Sidewinder was interesting...

Digging around, I've seen quite a few old Margays with Briggs FH on them. This is one of my favorite threads.

Sears "Orange Krate"

 

[chainsaw]

Does anyone remember a kart having a orange metal flake seat. When I was a kid I saw one in a back yard , never seen another like it.

is that your orange krate? I have 1 but someone chopped motor mount plate off and need some dimensions to make new and placement on kart
