ORIGINAL LATE-'61 GO KART 800 FOR MY KARTING BUDDY TIMMY
#3
Timmy has been a karting slacker these last few years.

The kart is still in my storage unit as he has a TAG kart that he is in love with, but hasn't driven in like 5 or 6 years.

He also has his KT100 Invader that he has driven a couple of times in recent years.

He whines that he has no room for his karts at home, but won't sell his TAG kart, and is too tight to rent a dang storage unit by his home in Discovery Bay.  But it's OK to take up space in my storage unit.  Oh well......

It's a good thing I am very fond of him.  He is my very best buddy.

Since I am moving my residence from Livermore to Sacramento, I will have an excuse to hand off the kart to him.

His "plan" for this kart is to take it down, get the frame blasted and powder coated, and put it back together with a nice drum brake assembly I bought for the kart (it's sitting in the seat of the kart in a zip lock bag in the picture with Tim as the proud new owner).

All gussied up, it ought to be a show winner, especially if he does a bit of polishing on the wheels.  The upholstery job alone, and the fact that this is just like the kart he raced in high school could make that happen.  "Kart and driver reunited" so to speak.
