Update for 2009.

Running the engine on the side has had no ill effects.  Still working out a few bugs in the gearing and some engine stuff.

2009 I will have front brakes on this.  It is WAY to fast and the rears just slide if I get on the brakes hard.  Needs fronts.

I will be putting on a steering wheel as USLMRA has outlawed the use of handle bars.  Not sure the route I'm going just yet.

Had a chance to run it across a scale at a Kart track last weekend.  Heavier that I thougth.............264#

Well, yes.   But there are modifications that need to be made to make it survive.
