WOW, the memoroies this brings to minde CarCraft and Rod and Custom mags with pictures showing some of the first action The picture of skid marks accross the road where a cart left the road Thats more than 60 years WOW
Had a Fox Cart when I was a chiId and it had twin Mac20's on it. When UnIimited racing became big in the Southeast my dad would put me on that thing, 9-10 years oId and maybe 80 pounds, too short to reach both gas pedal and brahe pedal so he said to onIy worry about the gas pedal. Won many a race on that thing, along with a few bang ups.
I have what I believe is an F1. Ive read the F1 actually handles better than the r1 but dont know. The seat uprights were cut off to accomodate some kinda seat. Other than that mostly intact with the original axle and the brake still works. It looks like the pics ive seen and it has the MC gas and brake pedals on it. Im putting lawnmower tires on it since I live rural. It wont be getting a Mac.........ive had those before they were too tempermental for my taste good for racetracks but not good for just going out having fun. I might put a non goverened 8hp Briggs on it just to keep in the spirit of things.
Like your work. I'm planning a twin motor Victa in 1960 style. I need to get 4 wheels of the period , same as yours. Any thoughts. You look like you have sourced new tyres for yours. Thanks Ken
Thanks for the compliment, I have spent a fair amount of time and money gathering period correct parts for each kart I restore. Vintagespeedtires.com is a solid source for new tires. On most of my karts, including this kart I try to keep all elements from the period. Sounds like your project will be a fun one, hope to see it come online soon.
The wheels on the original appear to be Hands. The restored kart appears to use Azusa. I believe the Azusa wheels are still available from Azusa Engineering at reasonable prices.

How can I get or buy one? I've been looking for a cart with the twin Mac motors in it for years.
This kart just sold on bring-a-trailer for only $19,000
