Dear Terry,


         I was permanently scarred, by not having a go-kart.  I had the 
good fortune to get to drive my cousin's go-kart.  My uncle lived in a 
small town and he lived in a large house on its periphery.  The house 
had a *large and long* circle driveway.  We used the public road for the 
back straight and had a quarter mile D-shaped race course.  Great fun, 
exhilaration and memories.



                   Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
