  4. Neat to get a different view of such a famous person. Makes him seem more real.

    Those carts go a lot better if you swap in a 100-125cc motorcycle engine. 10-23hp really makes them move, and handle pretty good. Required slicks to stick to the pavement.
    Had a buddy who swapped a Kawasaki twin 440 into one. Had to stretch the chassis 16" to fit it, IIRC. We mostly ran it around dirt ovals. Serious blast! He ran it down the road behind a car, and they clocked it at 90mph in third gear. Mostly ran second gear on the dirt.
