Re: 2015 TBO is a GO! Disspelling the rumors.

I was at Fremont Raceway Park yesterday (Wednesday) running my kart. The track crew working and making preparation for the REARs TBO Labor Day weekend event. This event is a definite go.

Re: Clintons, Clintons, and more Damn Clintons at TBO !

Took this picture at the 2014 R.E.A.R.'s TBO. I was told this was NOS in the original box.

Re: 1963 Rupp Grand Prix Question

Hi Scott K.

Happy Thanksgiving! I came across this ad today. It is a 1963 Dart A-Bone, but the right column is introducing the 1963 Grand Prix along with the medallion.

Re: TBO was terrific, fun too!

Yes, the Hedstrom was the Speed Mobile. Later Mike Hi Mike, Thanks. Also, I just found the pictures last night you sent sometime back in my computer. One was showing the Hedstrom decal on the frame.

Mike, for me it was the highlight of the event to see Autumn doing laps on the oval on the Hedstrom.
Was the Hedstrom the "Speed Mobile" kart?
