Re: FUN DAY July 5th.

I left my modern kart 8j and camera home today. I was provided a ride, but decided to pass. I wanted to spend a little more time with the folks, vintage and modern and it was going to be a long day for me (two track events). Again, good variety but different vintage and modern karts came. Included i...

Re: New Member with 64 Grand Prix

You did well on your research and correct with your assessment! The early part of the 1964 Grand Prix run started with the 4" front wheels and transitioned to 5" front during the model year. Survivor unrestored karts are really becoming very popular. The kart looks complete (uni-mount in box) and AL...

VIDEO - Fremont Fun Day, Saturday May 31st

Really enjoyed the day with the people and running with Herb Dickel, Jr. in his K-99 powered sidewinder vintage kart (Coyote?). Many people that know me, knows what is coming next. Play it large, play it loud!

Re: Brazilian Kart Friend

Scott, Thanks for sharing this, always good to see international enjoyment of our hobby. Do you know how Fernando acquired his kart ? Was it a new recent purchase imported from the states or did he find it in Brazil ? R.E.A.R. Sorry about the delay in response. The kart was purchased in the U.S., l...

Brazilian Kart Friend

A Facebook friend Fernando Ribeiro is from Brazil and speaks and writes a little English. I use Bing and Google translators to communicate with Fernando. Along with his vintage karts from Brazil, he has a McCulloch R300 kart / Mc-92. He saw and enjoyed the short video I did of the 2013 TBO and some ...

Re: Lung cancer

It is nice to read a post like this. It is a habit that I never started. Going through life, I've seen friends (smokers) succumb to lung cancer in their early 50s. The tragedy is they never knew of the grandchildren and visa versa. I returned to karting and was shocked to see a few of the young adul...

Re: Rupp kart differences in 1963/64?

Dean, The grand prix that i brought to Davis, i have owned for six years. In that time this is the info that i have found out about this model. The kart i have still has its original ID plate, and the number is 421, and i would think that this is a very early 63 model. It is a 4130 chrome molly fra...

Mickey Rupp by Quentin Haines re-linked

Many of forum members are familiar with the Mickey Rupp story. However, when on the KartingtonRaceway.com website I discovered the "Mickey Rupp" link no longer worked. It appears that the Photobucket location used somehow became corrupted. The Mickey Rupp story has been reloaded directly into the KR...
