Steve,

Welcome to the family. You've come to the right place if you enjoy the iron from America's early years of Karting.

Feel free to ask any question you want and were sure somebody will always try to help you. That's the nice thing about preserving as opposed to racing, the more of the old karts that we can be returned to their glory is a win for everyone and nobody is getting injured in the process.

Lot of folks share your love for mini-bikes also but the 2 strokers were not that popular but a good Flathead was what was the major motor of choice for the manufacturers so were cool with that.

thank you i feel at home all ready
