It's a 1959 with the fixes that were required to keep the frame from breaking just behind the pizza pie shaped seat sides. They were designed to run on oval tracks but will drive OK if you set the toe-in to 1/16 inch and get the tire pressure right.
Have fun,

Thank you Mr. Teal for the info. Did the guy who purchased the kart change the color to the blue it wears? All the examples I can find on web and print are McCulloch yellow.
Could you elaborate more on what was done to strengthen frame by seat sides?
I did check toe before our Tucson track days and set it to 1/16. We also did try different tire pressures. What pressures would you recommend? It got around the track pretty well. It sure is a different driving sensation sitting that far forward. It was even more exciting driving when the drum brake linkage failed and I kept taking laps with no brakes. I was having to much fun to stop!
