    This was off an old amusement ride from lakeside amusement park in Colorado. It is from the late 40’s. The racer is all cast aluminum – with the original solid rubber wheels, original seat and exhaust. Doing some research, these are very hard to find with all the original equipment – especially the original tires and wheels which were normally replaced with pneumatic tires and associated wheels. The car was pulled in a circle with other midget racers for the kids.
    Anyway, thought I would share this little gem with you all – I have never seen one of these before and it is a great addition to the gameroom.

    my buddy and i took turns riding this thing down the canyon - no brakes - what a thrill - it friggin flies downhill!!!!!!!!
