    Bentley you're a natural! Made my day! Here's a guy 54 years young, watching you do what I did around 42 years ago 😂! Until high-school when I got in trouble for trying to put a Chevy 283 in my go-kart 😂.
    BUT, what I did learn is the Briggs & Stratton 5 horse power engine that you can bolt onto your go-kart, can be tweaked up to 65 horse power!! We used to run dirt tracks with it on the weekends. Just like dirt cars, except smaller 😂. And our "racer" go-kart ran on alcohol. My dad was so impressed with how quick it was, he decided to take it out for a spin. 😮😅 Unfortunately, he was clocked with a radar gun at 68mph!!! Lucky for him, the officer was someone he grew up with and gave him a break! So lesson learned for me, was NEVER take it or any of my dirt bikes onto public roads!
    Thanks for the video Bentley, looking forward to seeing more.
    I also enjoyed watching your dad and brother's road trip! Pretty cool.

    Since you have a spare....maybe fab up yourself a cool rollbar style bracket over the motor at the back since now with all that power you are going to roll it! Mount the tire to it then it will help you bounce back on all 4's.
    Btw that comment about the best gas in the world and blowing the motor...😂😂😂😅

From personal experience I wanted to suggest you weld up some kind of brace from maybe a motor mount or somewhere low. Up to maybe 3/4 of the way out the length of your cool exhaust. With all the bumps and vibration and having the weight of that exhaust hangin out... I've always had them crack and break over time. If not right away if your being extra gnarly!. But amazing job dude, your going place my sir! Keep up the fun and education. My boys and I watch you and have been fans of your dads for a long time. We've become uber fans of yours and I know my boys have gotten friends from school watching you as well. So your teaching kids all over the country and prob beyond our borders. And getting kids fired up about working on their own stuff as well! Very cool stuff your doing and carrying on a legacy to a new generation!!!

It didn't run nearly as well as yours does but I still had tons of fun & many hours of pretending of winning races in the NASCAR series, INDY CAR, SPRINT CARS on dirt & asphalt and just regular DIRT CAR RACING!! Thanks for all of the great memories!! Your videos just keep getting better!!😊
