S.A.E. past and present...
The Spider (Ad). The early days and it was complicated.
Very nice example of a early/mid 60s survivor SAE dual. (Elkes photo - 2012, Kartington Raceway). From the Nagel Family kart collection.
Many SAE karts were custom built to race the "Open Class" dirt track racing class. No weight limit and minimal rules for the engine(s). (Elkes photo - 2013, OVCA Swap Meet)

Quentin last ran his #7 Kart at Adams, Riverside CA. seven years prior. The kart was apart. I told Q to bring the kart and I'll help wrench it and we'll get you on the track. A whole lot of wrenching, vintage community support for help, parts and speciality tools and Jerry Solt. My first drive in a SAE.
And, why we vintage kart...
