Re: Racing Go-Kart Project


I spent a fair amount of time at go-kart tracks in Southwest Missouri in the early 90s. I never raced competitively, my family didn't have the resources. But I do remember chasing a little punk around the track a few times who did race.  I seem to remember the top speeds being around 50 mph and that was plenty for me. 




The kind of acceleration you are talking about sounds like a Darwin Award waiting to happen.  Plus, I've never really understood the fascination with pure speed.  I'd much race against other drivers than a clock.  But maybe that's just me.




As for that ''little punk'' . . . he just had himself a pretty good year.
