Does anybody know if the site macbobaust.com/kart is still active. I can't connect.
Thanks,

That site has been down for a while. As far as I can tell, from looking at other forums like arborist sites where Mcbob/Ozflea/Bob Cornwell would frequently post, he seems to have passed away in July 2017 at 69 years old, and his site died with him. He was known for amusing posts, interesting questions, and he always had a weird project in the works. His twin MC101 and Bonbright Copperhead hotsaws come to mind.

Good News: Some key elements from Mcbob's site are preserved by Jerry Van Deusen here:

A very cool site with lots of very cool literature, though a little more in the interest of sidewinder karts.

Thed, here's a copy of McBobs site, useful but limited.
