Hoping to make one of the enduro events one day. Couldn't have gotten it together without the help of the Vintage kart community. Many thanks too: Mike Berg, David Luciani, Gene Lamay, Michael Burke and Ted Johnson. Thanks to REAR for having a place to post full sized pictures.

Awfully pretty D.J. Of course, I've said that before. Never get tired of looking at fine karts. Sterling

When it comes to pure FUN vintage karting, even before my time. I've found a dead axle, long cockpit karts with one wheel drive a blast to drive.

Dominic,

What year would you put the enduro kart at ?

Surprised that it has a rather refined fuel tank design yet no front bumper.

*the kart I have was ordered with the gearbox option when new.

**I liked the home made number panel, with the Mac-91. But I opted for a Mac-8 and stock number panel,
