Dick,

Can't help you on the Mercury/Diston but I think I can help you on the Fox-Clinton Dead Axle.

Let me get back to you.

Dick, It really is a shame that such a good friendly shop had to close but with the current state of the economy I'm sure we haven't seen the last of this unfortunate occurance. Great to hear your going to make it back next year, we'll have your pit spot waiting. We all know your a 'Bender' guy but ...

Just got word from a very reliable source that American Power Sports has closed its doors for the last time. Stan Kovalak the owner of APS has been a personal friend for over 40 years dating back to when he worked at Wiseco and this is a very unforunate thing to happen to one of the truely nice guys...

Teddy,

DO NOT BRING IT ! I heard a rumor Cubel will be making a triumpant return next year and if he brings Sue she'll wear the damn thing out with a couple of her patented 100 lap test sessions. LOL!!!!!!!!!

Ron, Love the Monark's also and I'm sure yours is a real beauty, If you get some pictures please feel free to send some my way . The early 70's were sure a great time period for small bore MXers.

Robert, You need to track down Jeff Brown out of Michigan, he had some super nice maybe even N.O.S. Precision Wheels for sale at THE BIG ONE this year.

Ron,

If you looking for some shop space you can always send a race ready Penton Berkshire over my way. I'd be more then happy to store it for you and of course run it every so often just to keep it in tune. LOL.

Bob

Scott,

Pretty sure the early Darts came with the tag you have. Real thin nickel or chrome plating on a brass tag.

In 65 the Grand Prix was added to the tag but the tag style you have with just i.d. numbers was still used on the Grand 'A'.

I have both a G.P. and a 'A'.

If anybody is looking for a SUPER COOL immaculate kart this is one you have to consider and can buy with confidence that it is well built and structuraly sound.
