Well thats what the kid called it from day 1.
This is another kart that was given to us by a family friend. It was built for him when he was a kid. Looking close at it the whole thing was crudely brazed together. The trans is a studebaker 3 spd and the steering column has some crazy gear reduction that requires a 3 wheel turns from lock to lock. The engine isn't original but is an onan 18hp. I've gps'd it at 49 mph in second gear but can't keep it in a straight line. This one will be a winter project.
Funny.. Didn't notice but that last picture shows it uses a drag link type setup.
There ya go Pat.
