What is it

[minibikejunkie69]

This kart was given to me from a friend of mine that is a retired 5 time champion crew chief of nascar. He said it is European and that only 10 of these made it to the states. No idea of the manufacturer.

Did you post pictures? As they did not show if you did.

I tried last night and it said an error occurred while posting picture.
Will try again

Go and join one of the Kart forums for an ID. Those guys are even crazier than US!

Not sure what kart it is exactly but its pretty cool.
Looks like it can be set up to run either side for the engine. Spacing between the motor mount rails (tubes) will tell you whether its American or International.

The frame is setup to run two engines

 

[outcrydrummer]

Well I see that it could run two engines, the question is why? More power I get that but that's a racing kart and I don't think I've ever seen a twin engine class. Plus more weight.......twice the sprockets, two clutches to tune and rebuild, etc.
Maybe its just me lol

the old guy that IDs this stuff for me does so in person. i showed him pictures and he said its a rental kart for asphalt tracks. not sure what ten that made it to the states story you got, but this would have not been any fun by itself, there would have been a track full of these.

racing karts like these have a finite "competition life" where the torsional rigidity of the frame changes over races. the frame is designed to flex a certain amount, and after a while the flexing will cause it to lose its torsional integrity to the point that its no longer competitive. thats when these machines are usually retired, and end up in someone's garage.

if you are interested in selling, i am building a dirt track in my front yard, so the asphalt competitiveness wont be an issue for me. just need something i can throw 2 predators on and scare the crap out of myself. If you are interested in selling, message me your number, as i said i have a family member nearby, my aunt, with a small pickup that can retrieve it for me

 

[outcrydrummer]

JK how big of a track are you making??
Maybe another NC country boy can come out and we can do some friendly racing. I need a place to test and tune the dirt oval race kart anyways

 

[JKautoFab]

1/4 mile outer loop but its not an oval more of a rounded square

not into nascar want to turn left AND right

 

[outcrydrummer]

I'm not into nascar either but the majority of tracks and racing around here is dirt oval left turn stuff. I'd much rather do some left and right turn stuff but you've only got like one track around here for that and that's in Mooresville. Go pro motorplex and that's asphalt. I originally almost got into that but then I found out what the go pro motorplex charges you to race and practice........
