Go kart Build Update Part 3
Welded up most of the frame today and got my clutch, sprocket holder, sprocket and chain from the kart shop. I have to get a seat before i mount the other three bars as two bars are for the seat and i cant weld them when i dont no the size of the mounts on the seat. When i get that and mount it i can weld in the other bar for the foot rest to what feels comfortable. Then i have to make up the spindles and weld them on. Once ive done that then i can get the diameter of the kart and then i can make the back axle. Once ive done that i can fit on the sprocket and holder and can drill the motor mounts and hook up the chain. Then i have to make up a little brake disc on the lathe at the same time i get the axle done and then mount 2 bicycle brakes on the disc. It will brake pretty good. On my motorized bike i got one set of brakes and that stops me pretty quick from 50km/h. Given the weight of the kart i will use two for double the grip. Then i have to make a steering wheel, make a shaft for it and make some steering arms. After that i can make some pedals and mount them and hook up the brakes and throttle.
Once ive done all this it ready to go! I reckon it will take me about 2 weeks to complete or just under. I think the completion date will be about January 13th. Stay tuned for more updates! There wont be another update for another week or so as i have to build this at my dads factory and he is on holidays atm and only comes to the factory like once a week to do stuff. He said he will be there next week so i should get a lot done next week.

How to Make a Go Kart
Wanna make your self a go kart using some junk in the garage? Well first find your self a go kart frame,(we used a little kids’ pedal kart). Then take the axle/ gearbox and engine off of a front wheel drive push lawn mower and bolt them on your frame. If you have any questions about this, i’d be happy to answer them.

Galletta’s Go-Karts 2009 Vol 4 Highlights Part 2 from 7/5/2009 RACING & CRASH CLIPS
http://gallettasgreenhouse.com/gokarts/20090705.html
Galletta’s Karting Club – 2009 Season, Week 4 (Part 2 of 2):
The Gas Flathead Championship Series of Oswego, NY continued on
Sunday, July 5th, 2009 at John J. Galletta Memorial Speedway:
After Buddy Cottom won the first 30-lap feature, we inverted the field for the second. A small pileup occurred on lap one when Fred Collins lost a chain (due to a hub that is now getting replaced) then enabled Chris Stevens to take the lead. Gary Miller and Buddy Cottom ran strong, but both of their karts succumbed to the 60 laps of racing, setting up the always tremendous battle between brothers Cris and Matt Stevens – the Galletta’s Karting Club Founders – which harked back to the early 1990s when it was ONLY Chris and Matt out there. Chris, who considers himself to be the only “Matt-stopper”, was able to hold off Matt’s advances, although Mighty Matty took his patented slingshot move on the final lap to try to get his 3rd win of the year. 1st – Chris (#8) gave him plenty of room, nipped him by a bumper, and took his first win since last season. 2nd – Matt Stevens (#33), 3rd – Melissa Stevens (#80), 4th – Soliman Barakat (#4), 5th – Asaad Al-Hanami (#1), 6th – Gary Miller (#24/DNF), 7th – Fred Collins (#9/DNF), 8th – Buddy Cottom (#6/DNF), 9th – Kelly Miller (#4/DNS), and 10th – Austin Hicks #0/DNS). Credited with 11th-13th were Rookie Powder-Puff drivers Nazeha Al-Hanini, Terry Miller, and Neaiamh Al-Hanini.
NOTE: All karts are 1-WD and all Motors are 1-WD 5hp Gas Flatheads with Stock ’90s Carb, shaved head, and select pre-approved Dyno Racing Cams. This means fast, equal speeds and, cheater-free engine-builders, all for low prices.
Galletta’s Go-Karting Club races eight to fifteen extremely affordable Gas Flathead-powered Go-Karts competitively every weekend between June through November annually behind Galletta’s Greenhouse in Oswego, NY, USA. Our racing karts are built to be highly affordable, with fast speeds and safety for low prices – so people who will bash and say, “they’re slow” and “they turn the wrong way” will either get ripped and/or just deleted were not looking to make the fastest race cars, were looking to make the most equalized and affordable racing machines known to man and race friends and family FOR FUN! The point is to make a highly competitive racing club for roughly $400-700 per kart (instead of the cookie-cutter methanol racing karts which cost $3,000-7,000) and extremely cheap expenses – 1-WD, gas run, and a limit on parts to keep things VERY affordable and VERY fast. We also tally points, and have weekly pictures, videos, and website descriptions to every race, including every year of our history (since 1996) and every single race since 2005, which most high-end WKA/NKA-esque kart series dont do.
These are low-resolution highlight reels from our much higher-quality DVDs, which are available on our website for $5 each, and go from one hour to three hours each, PACKED with clean, exciting racing action, and the occasional fantastic flip or crash. We’re always looking for new people (rookie or experienced vet) to join us! We have 12 karts, many of them are open for newcomers almost every race. Come on out!

16 HP SICK Go Kart
Decided to swap my little 5.5HP Honda engine for a 16HP vanguard twin cylinder Briggs and Stratton. All of this took basically a night and a day. Needs a better pull start, and a muffler of course… which will increase speed. Pretty good overall since it was sitting on a shelf for over a year.
