Posts: 5207 Rosemark TN Gender:	Re: My $25 investment Reply #15 - 06/21/12 at 08:57:25 I had one like Babyhog's for awhile, but it ran a 392 industrial hooked to a 911 transaxle. Porsche (beefed up VW) transaxles don't hold up well with a Hemi hooked to them... Scattered that old sand rail over half of Florence Oregon's dunes one weekend.

If we don't get attached to it it's going on CL when it's ready.

Had a cart as a kid, and they are super fun. With your butt just a few inches off the ground, 30mph feels like 60. I've always thot about building a more serious version with a 250cc or bigger motorcycle engine. In fact, a year or so ago I gave away (to a friend's HS kid) a Datsun B210 with a tiny 4 banger that was rated at 65hp. And yes, before giving it away, I seriously considered a cart conversion - LOL.

My BIL used to race sprint karts, in fact he won the Grand National title one year. Once a year he would take it to Mosport and race it with the enduros. I went one year and had the opportunity to run it around the track a couple of times. My lap times sucked but running down the straitaway I must have got it up to 60 or 70, and you are right- having your a$$ that close to the ground really amplifies the sensation of speed.
I had a ride in a car once going 160, but there was no comparison to that kart ride. Shocked

When people in their 80s die, you worry more about the spouse. My mom's sister was married for 66 years. Went to visit her husband today. He's 91 and sharp. Two hours well spent. For me and him.
