Thanks for comment. Karts are for competition racing only on race tracks. Not for recreational use. Consensus so far is “lose the roll bar”.

Simple poll with great feedback so far. Click below if you want to register your opinion. Roll bar for 70-mph go kart.... Keep it or lose it? Thanks. https://www.facebook.com/247184812650883/posts/404112433624786?sfns=mo Gary
