Sounds like something right out of I Love Lucy: "...right rear tire and wheel off my truck passed me at 70 mph."

Hmmm. With all of the strange stuff that's happened to you... damn... you're just a regular ol' lucky rabbit's foot, ain't ya?

Glad you have a good sense of humor, and hopefully your wheel & tire didn't hop over the divider into the oncoming lane...

my go kart ran perfect ..just wasn't fast enough to shake anything lose ..!! ..Lol..

still don't understand how a wheel and tire can fly off after driving 6 hours ..wtf ..!!

I guess kinda like a brand new trailer braking down ..something about vintage karts make strange things happen ..hehehe..

bigger faster bullet on the kart next year and hopefully something less than 25 years old with 350,000 miles on it to drive there in ..
