Tater Digger is a flat head Briggs. They used to use them on Rotor Tillers to dig up the ground for planting the garden.

Going from a Tater Digger to a Bad Ass F-125 gives You more to get used to then just laying down. It's like comparing a bycycle to a crotch rocket power and speed wise.

now now boys us tater diggers have come a long way over the years! Not much better racing than the animals out there now. And the mods are turning faster times than stock leopards, right with the WKA Sprints, and slightly behind the normal tags...so id say we starting to turn some heads...when we pass some of you 2 strokers haha Just havin some fun with you boys thats all.

What i dont understand with the article is why it took till now to get anything posted about our races. Normally the article would be posted on here and then show up in the magazine just with pics added in. Man Cup makes the money...i get that...but if they get posted pretty much the day of then we should at least get our article up within a week of the race. Helps guys like me that missed daytona this year. just my 2 cents

Agreed. It's not about the kart, its about the coverage (Or lack there-of). I remember when there used to be as many (if not more sometimes) pages covering national enduro events because they really meant something. Just to finish an hour race back then meant as much to some as winning a half hour race now. No wonder so many enduro kart manufacturers ceased production of enduro karts if no recognition is there. I surely miss the days of Charlotte, Watkins Glen, Pocono, Indy, Talladega & "The Rock". Most of the time there was major coverage in the magazine of each event and it was special to see pics of yourself or your name listed in an article. But I agree with some of the folks that seem to think that WKA treats laydown karters like a "redheaded step-child". JMHO -Alan-
