There on there way....sort of. If you are waiting to purchase a copy of Frank Weirs book Pioneering American Karts they are in the states but are currently tied up in customs. Once the book is released they will be going to Max-Torque where Jim Donavon will be handling the distribution. Keep a watch for further updates.

Realize most of those photos are from The Big One and karts you have loved, history preserved, painstakingly restored. It should be an honor to be in Frank's book.

Quite an undertaking and preservation of Karting history. All our hats should be off to Frank for doing this.

Rob, just thumbing through the pages you can tell he spent a lot of years doing his research, every vintage karter should have this book, and current karters so they know the history of where karting came from.
