Default Sons go kart is a beauty

Keeping the JPS theme going like my race car. It's a TONY kart w 60cc, limited to 9hp now but she can go to 12hp. I borrowed the eagle face from Dan Gurney's Eagle

Florida has some really good Kart shops, tracks, and series. TaG stuff is great, compared to the old school KT100 days!

I think at 12 hp she'll do 40mph+. His car control is very good. We go to K1 speed also when we can't go to the gas karts, he's 8 & he regularly beats everybody including teenagers, LOL.

You must be new here. Mr Hubbell is anything but subtle (and we love him for it).

Just make sure that you wear the right gear. Sometimes even that isn't enough.

I have a rib that permanently sticks out due to racing shifter karts.

It can be brutal on the body.
