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

[Himes, Terry (397C)]

Cool.  At least you got to have fun, which is great!  Like Jack, I was stopped many times by the police in
my little town in Michigan. But we moved to a new complex just outside of town which was a ½ mile oval,
and the only 2 homes there were my friends to also had karts. You can image the rest.  (  Fun times!

    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
