Over 60 class structure

[Gary Wlodarsky]

I agree with Ted, my days of competive all out racing is over. I just want to hang out with fellow vintage karters run some laps and tinker with my old kart. I have a older a bone with a stock mc5 and wanted to tun it in historical class. BOth events I went to. I was the only historical entrant so I was grouped with much faster karts so I had to be very carefull not to get in there way. is there anyone still racing rear historical ? Or how about chainsaw motors? I may of got into this to late as most of the karts were sidewinders and Yamaha motors. I may have to just run tbo. THanks for letting me share my thoughts.

Mel, there are still a handful of guys who love to make something out of nothing. One of my favorite guys is a Cal. gent who makes clone Mac 10 engines from saws and runs them on a gorgeous Go Kart 1200 when he is feeling well enough to do so. He's now converting a G.K. 400 to a primitive live axle setup sort of like the old Reed Engineering live axle kit. He'll install a converted 4.9 inch Mac saw engine and I'll bet it will run quite well. He exhibits the innovative spirit of the early karter. I wish there were more like him. Ted

 Hey Ted.....just an FYI,,I just recently acquired a McCulloch F1 which is in surprisingly great shape,,,(thanks to Mike Evrin and David L)prolly better shape than me,,,but any how....the F! will be ready for next year..., I'm gonna say,,the historic class most likely with a bone stock Mac 6.......may even go direct drive( as I did in early 60) but hopefully an original Max Torque would be nice...

trying to remember ..Didn't McCulloch have some of them painted in Honduras Maroon,,or where they all yellow...???  got this bug up my ....that some were Honduras Maroon,, May have been the R 300???

just hope I can squeeze into it when the time comes around...
