[DeTomaso] "Are you Ready for the Future?" (No direct PC but interesting!)

[Himes, Terry (397C)]

Ah!  Speaking of Go Karts.  My dad (a Ford Mechanic and later a machinist) built my Go Kart from Dart Kart plans
and put 2 West Bend 580’s in it.  I will never forget the weekends racing it.  I bet many of you had Go Karts also! 

Let’s hear about them!!  It’s only a LITTLE off topic.  ;-)

    Ironic that my first go-kart (at age 6) was a “prototype” Singer sewing machine - I used to sit and watch my mother sew on one and just imagine how that wheel could be a "drive-wheel" on a go-kart. Fast forward 65 years - and here we are - electric cars??
