Thanks for the reply, Actually I know Mike Clemments and his brother Jeff is from here and used to race karts with us I have seen their kart many times. I work allot with Briggs Motorsports, who have in their museum a Streamliner built by Vesco and ran with a single flathead many years ago. I have read the info on karts running in Sept. If stock karts are my only option I would go with that but actually have my mind set on something alittle different, again not sure if theres a place for it to fit. I have many years of NHRA chassis building and we won 2 WKA enduro championships this year on chassis we built ourselves in karting. I would like to keep the project looking like a kart to a good degree but would add a cage and enclose it I understand it would need to meet spec's have a fire bottle and belts, I would guess a chute. I also would like to do it with a single engine, because for the most part thats what karts use. In our world Shifter karts do hit speeds above 150 so I would think those tires and wheels would be safe, just not sure if you have specs that need to be met. I do have a rule book but it is several years old, I'm not clear, and can't find, where a custom made vehicle fits into the 140 or 150 club or if I could even run there.
I have looked at the site on the east coast group, again I can't find anything specific to karts or my plans. I know this will be allot to sort out so hopefully would like to find a place where I can run several times a season. If you stop by our web site( which unfortunately parts of are always under-construction) your see engines with blowers and NOS of course keeping them together for miles is another issue:) but I am looking forward to trying.
BTW, Jon, I have a house on Lake Superior, at town called Bayfeild Wi/ Apostle Islands, hope to get up their snowmobiling this season. I've lived all over the country, no finer place then "way up north". Bob
