Wheeeeeeeee! My son and daughter last weekend in our little toy. Look at his determination!

I won 14th out of 105 in amateur contest with this photo. Not bad for my first try...

pretty cool and good lookin kids............

Great pic.

I used to have one of them. Loved it until the wheel fell off at full speed in a turn.

hey, I know those too speedracers.

Great Photo ! !

That is a great looking picture.

Looks like something you'd see in a magazine.

awesome!

Sweet. I always wanted one of those as a kid (always saw them in the catalogs when I'd circle what I wanted for Christmas), but I never got one. Now that I'm all grown up, I'll probably have to buy one and say it's for the kids. LOL

Great start, Now that they have the speed bug it will only get more expensive.....LOL

Great Picture

Ain't that the truth! He's 13 and already he wants an 05 or 06 Mustang GT.....Blown! LOL!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Re - daveincy - That's what I did. I bought the frame and engine from a guy I used to work with for $150 and then added the tires, seat and throttle linkage. Last year I changed it over from a Briggs 5hp to a Honda 5hp that I picked up cheap(free) and it's been nearly trouble free ever since. I do need tires again, though. He had a blowout last weekend ...lol.

edsbar-

you do realize that when my kids see this they are going to want Uncle Edbar to take them for another ride--helmets for mine again please

(they're all I have) LOL

Helmets and a seatbelt. You'll have to wait until I get tires, though...

Ahhh.........memories.

When I was around fourteen, my dad (whom I spent my summers with) bought a two seater go cart to keep my brother and I occupied during the days.

We got permission to drive it in a nearby church parking lot.

One day, this little 13yo red headed nymph showed up and wanted a ride. I remember her well.....so cute in her dirty cutoff jeans and tank top.

Wanting to show off, I took her for a spin and pulled some pretty daring maneuvers.......tight turns, etc.

Well I went too far and flipped the thing.

We both were pretty scabbed up.

I never saw her again.

go-karts are a blast!

(shifter-karts are the adult version, and both those kids will be ready soon!)

dang, she is having a blast in that pic! and he is the coolest kid! makes an auntie proud

a friend got his drivers license at age 14 . i wasn't allowed .

so i talked him outta his go cart that didn't run .

after weeks of tearing down the motor & cleaning & replacing parts. i would drive it around the block & it would break down. push it home & repeat above !!

finally got the thing to quit throwing belts & off i'd fly!!

when i upgraded the cart with a 12 hp chainsaw motor that thing would fly 60mph down the beach !!OHH HAA !!

i'm lucky to be here still !! LOL !!

^cool! We used to tear up the LDS Church's parking lot, right edlette
