PREFACE - AFTER I GAVE UP THE DUAL B-BOMB STARDUSTER IN 74 AND WENT BACK FOR AN MBA, IN THE LATE 70S AN ARTICLE IN THE MELBOURNE PAPER NOTED THAT WKA WAS GOING TO RACE AT DAYTONA. I WENT UP ON RACE DAY. I ASKED FOR "DANDY" RANDY KUGLER (WKA HEAD HONCHO) AND WAS INVITED UP FOR A CHAT WITH RANDY. WE TALKED ABOUT KUGLER RACEWAY ESCAPADES, ETC. I WATCHED OUR KARTS FLY AROUND THE TRACK AND REMEMBERED JUST HOW UNRELIABLE THE TIRES OF A FEW YEARS EARLIER WERE AT HIGH SPEED.
I DECIDED TO REVISIT THE ENDUROS SINCE SOME "VINTAGE" KARTS ARE SUPPOSED TO RUN. THE WEATHER IS MARGINAL FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THE WKA LITERATURE DOESN'T MAKE IT CLEAR WHEN THE REAL KARTS RUN. IF IT DOESN'T RAIN ALL DAY, I WILL STOP BY AND SEE WHAT OUR RACERS ARE UP TO.
