We have been an established business since 1992 and working on karts, mini-bikes, snowmobiles, ultralights, 4-wheelers, cars and trucks since about 1965. We started racing snowmobiles by grass dragging in 1984 and went on to oval racing throughout the Northeast in 1987-1990, winning many championships along the way and even racing at the famed "Eagle River" at the World Championships in 1988.

As you can see from our resume, we have done it all and then some. With the help of my family and many others and our faith, we have been able to do these things

and be very successful at it.

Having given up the car owner and driver position in 1998 and being just a driver for the next 3 years gave me time to work on other interests, such as these little rods.

We have been going to the Car Flea Market in Carlisle, PA for over 20 years. Last year my son, Kyle, and I spotted a little street rod for sale and thought that it would be a great ride for "Hawkie", our friend and crew chief when we were racing. Hawkie had polio as a child and it was hard for him to get around the track and the pits so we thought we would get one for him until we saw the price. My son begged me to get one and I said there is no way I would spend that kind of money on that. These little rods were soooooooooooo cool!!! But they had really cheap front wheels and the back wheels were just from a wheel barrow. They had Briggs and Stratton 5 HP engines and were very simple.

We wound up being able to buy a kit from the man, took it home and made many improvements to the chassis. We made it stronger, wider and more stable. We make a model that has higher ground clearance. We also offer electric start and the choice of a torque converter setup vs. the centrifugal clutch. We also paint the bodies any color you want and give you a choice of graphics.

All these chassis' are jig built and mig welded for the utmost strength. The parts are all high quality go-kart parts from one of the biggest retailers in the

karting business today. All chassis' come with a 1 year breakage warranty and they all are packed with a powerful Honda OHV engine that produces a whopping 5 HP that's the equivalent (weight to horsepower ratio) of having 700 horses under the hood of the family wagon!
