FOX FLYWEIGHT

At our local Rockledge, FL track, they actually had a hinged plywood box for a couple of years. You rolled the rig onto the box bottom, and the four sides had to fold up and latch. I once had to miss an afternoon of racing to take my B Super kart home and change out my too-long axle. Seems like the box was 60" X 40" X 26" inside dimensions. This would've been '61 or '62. We weren't strictly GKCA/IKF rules, but we tried to stay close, except that A and B Standard allowed alky, modified internals and any carb you wanted. By the time we decided to go GKCA and later, IKF, most of the guys had already modded their engines. I wore out a lot of Dremel tools and finger tips porting and smoothing Mc6's, '7's and 8's!
Michael, I remember Larry Eyerly's "Flying Ironing Board"! Ted
