I didn't like on our poll that you could only vote for one! I think that on the next competition, you should be able to vote for your "top 3" and then whoever gets the most votes, wins.

Every body did a great job. It was tough to vote for just one.

...& there's the man responsible! I've said it before & I'll say it again, if it wasn't for you Eddie, it never would've happened so, you deserve some of he credit; you can go ahead & change your user title to "Inspiration for the 2013 Build-off Winner"

Thanks again to everyone for the interest in the build, the grats &, most importantly, for voting

Dude, I didn't do anything. You took a design with no prints or technical support and created (from scratch) one kick-a$$ kart. My hats-off to you! I'm just glad we're making the Am(Aus)Ex a popular kart choice around here. Thank you for the kind words though.

Effectively, you did. It wasn't much but, simply posting the pics of yours was enough
