Brad, I'm pretty limited. There were a ton of manufacturers we never got to experience in the wilds of Florida. If a book is written, Tom Smith is the author we need to get it done. A lot of us might be contributing suppliers of info, but Tom is always "The Man". As far as karts like "The Drone" are concerned, I was always attracted to the weird and unusual. The Drone, Duffy's Konig, Chuck Balsiger's dual Mac kart, later his big Yamaha, Jim Yamane's first dual Mc10's on his magnificent homebuilt were always interesting to myself and my Pop. We were only fascinated by karts that fell into legal GKCA/GPKCA/IKF classes. I wasn't interested in the triple 820's and the like that weren't legal. When Charlie and I built my triple Mac Go Kart 1200, and when we put three rear wheels on the dual Mc30 Go Kart, these were all within the rules. Ted
