Karts

A/m

The A/Z's will have a lot more detail to help you identify karts and engines and will ONLY feature ORIGINAL karts and engines, No Replicas.

The new style A/Z will take time, photographs will be replaced as and when better images become available,
please be patient and enjoy your tour.

Come back soon

Fastest Lap on Tilbury circuit: 47.1 secs

Note: The neat little handle to drag the kart back to the pits once the chain had broken, this became obsolete as soon as the Class 1 drivers discovered a two pint Demestos bottle full of oil and dripped directly on to the chain did the trick, the solution to the criticism of oily circuits was quite simple Blame the Villiers drivers.
