Yeah its a midget. Honestly I have more fun watching them than I do the big boys.

They make a chassi just a little smaler than the pic I posted that runs off a 125cc engine. Those and the oddisies (sp) are the bumble bees of the race track. Kevens car (the pic) sounds bad ass.

OOOOOOOOOO Modifieds. I love modifieds. They race at a track near my house. 1/2 mile oval. They are FAST!

I used to help a local guy with his sportsman on the dirt track. Fuuunnnnn stuff. The "bumblebees", sprints, and outlaws were fun to watch though, that's for sure. Modifieds were just insane. Those were some HUGE motors on those little cars.

I've been looking for plans or something to build a pair of those. Those look like so much fun to drive!

My uncles always kept us entertained with go carts, four wheelers, lawn mowers with pulley swaps, old junk cars and pretty much they could think of...


One of my favorites was one of these...

The Honda is the GX120 I think...

I may have to hit you up on that motor bill. I will be financialy exhausted after buying the roller for a few weeks.

Hope to buy it in 5 weeks...

Yeah, but it's the same net result as a more powerful engine making it down low. That 2.5hp will have to be geared much lower to be able to accelerate at a decent rate, which will kill the top speed in the process. Nothing gained, you're just spinning the bejeesus out of an engine to get it there.
