Racing Time Is Still Family Time Thanks to a Father’s Custom RC Kart for His Son

Racer Jim Bist wanted his son, Sam, to enjoy race weekends with him, despite Sam’s cerebral palsy. So he found a way.

Bist, his wife Laura, and their race team strap Sam into a black OMP seat with brown pillows underneath the bright red belts of a five-point harness. Sam’s bespoke go-kart—one-of-one—is all his own, so he can race on the same tracks as his father. The all-electric kart is remote-controlled and fast. Perhaps not fast enough for Sam, though.
