    Default Fast Karts

    Holy crap. If this is true it is astonishing.

    Check the above site for a photo of a jet powered go Kart leading a tyre smoking dragster. The kart eventually ran a 5.95 quarter at more than 240mph.

    Great link to the Turbonique info.
    Stuff the rocket powered go cart I want one of the drag axles they used to make. Even a rocket powered super charger would suffice, who needs NO2

    I've always wanted to put a 12a rotary onto a go-cart. (And possibly a turbo...)
