Steve,
Check out the VanDeusen Motorsports website at vdm46.com. They have complied lots of great information and images of Emmick, Invader and many other great race karts. When I noticed the one piece style nerf bar I thought of Emmick right away. I tried to confirm it as best as possible on the VanDeusen's website and I'm almost certain the kart from your childhood is an Emmick Thunder circa 1976-1977. They have several detailed photos of a dual engine model posted. On yours, the bolt on front bumper, the curved, heim joint steering uprights, the rear bumper, the inverted spindles and the tell tale wrap around nerf bar all point to a Thunder. I could be wrong but take a moment when you can and visit the website so you can try to determine for yourself. Stick around a while once there, it's a great website!
