Dave,

Here's a picture of the early 820's made by West Bend.

I couldn't attach the picture and got this message; Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

Bob, It sure felt good to be back for this year's event. I missed the prior two due to grandkids getting married and trying to figure out health issues. I had a great time running my karts and sold a lot of stuff. The West Bend passion is due to the early years in my karting hobby and I hope that I ...

Frank is a class act; everything he does for the vintage karting scene is great and at a high cost to him. He travels back and forth from Europe every year and calls it his vacation.
