Greetings from the Mississippi Delta

[Quicksilver]

Hello All,

I've been to this forum many times...learning, researching, and smiling. You can't discount the enthusiasm I feel from the words of wisdom shared here, as gokarts arouse even the most common of man (and woman...).

But to the point I've never owned a GoKart until a month ago when I bought a well used Manco Dingo for my 10 year old's birthday. I restored it to like new. Then came the Bristers "Thunder Kart"...which is going thru a frame down resto... and last Saturday, I bought a vintage Shaller SS98 concessions kart with the 9.0hp Honda. O M G ...its a thrill to ride, but weighs a T O N!!!

Anyway...I'll be posting soon about maybe trying to trim some weight off that Shaller kart. The spec's say she weighs 470 pounds!

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum! Karts do have a way of bringing out the smiles in people

I can't wait to see some pics of the few karts you have picked up!

Where are you in Mississippi? My Dad and I came to Sardis this past March to get into some of those slab crappie you guys grow. The water was very low and we didn't get into any crappie. I think I caught 1 dinker. Did figure out if we got to the spillway before light I could tear up the catfish. I never seen anything like it. Cast it out and the bobber just wouldn't resurface. We had a ball once we figured them out. I really liked it there. We'll probably be making an annual trip of it. Nice people, nice scenery, and found a great place to stay. Ol' Miss is pretty nice. I want a 3+ crappie for my wall and won't give up until I do!
