the best part is we werent sure if the lot was ok to use so we were expecting the cops. the head janitor actually showed up and said oh thats cool just dont die and dont break anything. so now i have a place to ride without getting in trouble and its 5 minutes from my house.
i found another gokart finally since my boss wrecked the rust rocket back in july. my budy also found one i went to work getting them both runing. the area around my engine plate was broken in all but 1 of the 4 pipes concting to it. i tried stick welding it back togeather. ive never welded in...
actually its a seat belt out of my dads 57 chevy pickup and it actually works:sifone: its only a lap belt but it does prevent un happy meetings with the post for the steering wheel. a freind of mine found out the hard way wen he locked the throttle and hit a fence and slid forwars in the seat...

it was a large shelving unit at one time dismanteled my dad found it somewhere. very flexible stuff very heavy tho.
does about 35mph and still has just enough to go up hills with a head start. id really like to make a lighter frame tho.
