Yea that was one sweet handling sprinter and ever since you asked For the life of me I cant remember what the enduro was snd I ran it more than the Margay. Man it sucks to get old!

If it's not on somebody's kart then it's probably in some landfill!

When I try to enlarge the pics they get a little too fuzzy for me to tell, but the enduro looks like a Hornet LP to me. LP1 of it had the open rear axle, LP2 if the axle was enclosed. But yeah, kinda hard to be sure. -Alan-

Let's go race! I'm taping my lower pants legs right now.
Alright that's kind of weird except I still race these days with my pants taped up.

Dont remember it being a Hornet although I did own and race a Hornet Marauder and I also owned and raced a Van K enduro. If I can make my brain go back far enough to remember, I'll post it!

Anybody with Photo Shop skills could clean those up real nice. Not perfect, but a bunch better than they are now. In any size you want.
I’m nowhere near the best at it, but I could make them look a lot better.

In these pictures it certainly looks like a Hornet LP-1 or LP-2 to me.

Yea I dont know, they are just some old Polaroids I found in an old box. Again not sure of the make. It might be exactly as you say!

You must have been pitted on the other side of Ricky because I was pitted next to him and his brother too! What a cry baby little Ricky was back then!
