Nice carts. Wish my 'dad built' A cart had that suspension. My menthanol Clinton did OK for the late 1950s.

Never drove one with suspension. Can't say if it works. As the narrator was extolling how well the inside front wheel
tracks I noticed that it wasn't even contacting the track surface. I had a later version of the Dart Kart shown as the
competitor, with all the vibration. Certainly not a smooth ride, but I doubt the Mac kart was as smooth as they showed.
Certainly, Mac 110s were the motor to run in the lower classes.

Some slot car go karts in this lot.

I think they look cool, but if anything needs a driver figure, IMO, it's these.

Might have to post it here...

I'm not supposed to look at those girls anymore. Actually, that is not true. She told me it is alright to go sightseeing,
as long as I only park my car in her garage.

As an engineer I am marveling at the shape of this lady. How they do that? 
Never mind the Kart.
