Message: <blockquote data-quote="BillM" data-source="post: 4244841" data-attributes="member: 45785">My uncle used to build racing go-karts with a pair of 90hp Macolloch chainsaw motors for racing. I worked for him for a month or so before I went active duty in the USAF building the kart frames and mounting the motors. Two of them were bought by singer Lee Michaels. My uncle & his sons won several trophies racing karts he built, and he was moderately famous for the engines he built.<a href="https://www.ikfkarting.com/walter-allan-meyers-mechanic-inventor-writer-in-memoriam-12-31-1934-03-26-2019/" target="_blank">https://www.ikfkarting.com/walter-allan-meyers-mechanic-inventor-writer-in-memoriam-12-31-1934-03-26-2019/</a>I never got to ride or drive any of his karts. Been over 50 years. And I'm still at least a little bummed out by it. Though I suspect my mom may have had something to do with that. <img src="/images/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
