2015 'Fantastic Four'

Post by REAR » Sat Sep 12, 2015 7:48 am

This year running of THE BIG ONE as in years past had a bumper crop of quality karts representing the machines that were run back in the day so once again picking this years winners of a coveted 'Biggie' for the top 4 machines had the judges second and even third guessing their choices. After a lot of discussion and reviews of the machines we are honored to say that this years picks are truly the best of the best.

We would like to congratulate this years winners for taking all the time and effort to not only track down these early karts but to also help preserve these important pieces of kartings history for generations to come. We would also like to make a 'honorable mention' of the individuals who also brought some very nice examples of kartings past as well that could be show winners anywhere they go.
