I owned a go-kart in my pre-teen days and enjoyed the heck out of it. That must have been as early as about 1957, give and take a few years on either side of that. These things have become wild and I like to watch the international karting races still.
I'd need a commercial compactor to get in one today with this old broken-up body!

These examples would be awesome for doing a NASCAR "bump and run". Lol.

Tony, I, with the help of a neighbor, built a Go Kart in 1957. Most fun you can have with your butt three inches off the ground.
