(1) CRG Heron-derived LTO (oval) chassis – almost a runner.

Total chassis / karts - (10). Total drivers? (1.5)
Plenty of ‘off-season’ projects. But the season starts here Feb. 1st, so not much time… More than half the chassis were sub-$500 ‘deals’ that I thought, “Hey, I can flip that for a profit someday!” (cue: uproarious laughter.)
Btw, where’s my savings account? I appear to have misplaced it.
A kart-like vehicle indigenous to upstate NY. Races on 1/10 mi. asphalt ovals using Briggs 5hp (now LO206 or Animal) power. Originals were wooden-frames, now full-suspension metal frames:
I’m envious of your storage space! Lack of places to keep more things definitely keeps me in check at this point. (maybe that’s actually a good thing, I don’t know )
Probably! My goal is to reduce to 4 – the 2 modern chassis for my son and I, and the 2 vintage karts. I will rehab and donate the microd and ‘open wheel’ to the clubs that helped me get started… beyond that, Facebook marketplace beckons. I do indeed appreciate my 24x36 shop, but would also appreciate the ability to walk around in it…
We have tried adult.classes, but its hard with the small footprint. MICRODS ARE ONLY 36” WIDE X 96 LONG, unlike the more square karts. Open Wheel adult classes have run successfully. Especially when custom built. (See: microstocks, a close cousin to NY’s open Wheel series.)
I have the sister kart to Mark Bergfelt’s (RIP), orignally owned by Don Roy. The kart above is identical, except owned by Andy Hines (“Chim-Chim” on Bob’s 4Cycle) And I should be clear – this isn’t an oval TUBE kart, it’s a kart for OVAL racing, done by CRG. Rare, and WKA moved to ban both Birel and CRG from intruding in the oval market. Dumb.
sounds like it has potential.
