It was a purpose built drag kart from the 60s and it was recently restored after being found in a junkyard. Quadruple Macs. I'll try to find the details
Kendick Engineering Special dragster kart built circa 1967
Has 4 McCulloch Mc101 (125cc) chainsaw engines on alky. Thats 500ccs and a total of 60 HP on a 200 lb. kart. It ran low 11 second ETs in '68 and then was retired and went missing.
Here's a video. The driver can barely keep it straight with a little throttle
Wow....that's like starting and keeping started :hammer: 4... count em... 4 mini bikes... at a time just for one ride.......but dang what a ride I bet that is ! :laugh:
So...after watching the video, you know how youtube gives suggestions for the next video to watch...if you like stories...and you like small engine related history, you've got to watch this...
