Guys & Gals,
It's interesting, if Jeff had just said that Duffy died, everyone would have known who Jeff was talking about, he was famous to all karters around the world. But some of you may not know that he was one of the most famous Hot Rod people in the LA area, during the 1950's. If you get a chance, please get the book "The Hot Rod" by Brock Yates. It tells the story of the most famous Hot Rod road race car, probably ever built. Duffy built it & raced it, and it beat Ferrari's. It will very quickly make you understand why & how the Go Kart 800, became the best handling early chassis. Here is what is odd, I just re-read it last night.
God Bless Duffy
You have inspired me & my engineering for 57 years.
The kart I will never sell, my Go Kart 808
