    Where are you going to find a hill in south Florida? Other than an interstate off-ramp or parking garage?

    They run off a six HP four stroke Honda engine. Around 200 lbs, supposedly they go about 45 mph.

    Thought they were powered by gravity. I like the Wild Wild West motif on #17.

    Pretty neat! Don't let the France family find out out these!

    Looks like a lot of fun.

    Wonder what would happened if we all started showing up at autocross' with these?

    I knew this would be right in your wheelhouse!

    Lol, that's what makes it fun! ;) Just like the old days.

    That's what I was thinking. We have two local kart tracks I'm sure we could rent. Perhaps we have someone here who simply has a large lot or parking lot.

    Hopefully my son's baseball playoffs will be done so I can make it. If not, there's always June!

    I know, there are soon many cars that would be perfect to do.

    I agree, I'm hooked. I've done shifters and TAG karts. They are a blast and lightning quick buy they get very expensive, very fast. This seems like it would be just as fun for the weekend warrior yet much less $$$.

    I will confess to being a bit intimidated by the process - I don't have any metal working skills or tools. But wow do I want to build one. Still reading. . .
