From March 1960 thu October 1961 HOT ROD magazine did monthly kart tests.

If anyone is interested in seeing these posted here, let me know. There is a lot of work to scanning and cleaning up these old articles. If you want to see more of them, it would be very motivating if a whole lot of you replied.

Below is the first test.

HOT ROD MARCH 1960 KART TEST #1 SIMPLEX

totally love that idea. 
i'll even make a section for them to permanently live after they've been on the main thread for a while.
