Fun project.. thinking about offering them to the racers with dimensions provided by the customer.. that way your rollaway will fit.. let me know through PM's and we can work out the details..
Lot's of options from mild to wild in the "Power" department, or as simple as a pull handle.. but believe me, they are a real attention getter and fun to drive! Cool

Looks like fun. Are you the same guy selling them on Bob's?

I was wondering how they roll on rougher terrain. I can't really think of a use, other than riding around, and its certainly too big for a lot of sprint pit areas, but it looks like a hoot.

same,same Tim.. rough terrain will be no problem with treaded tires.. and as far as useage.. getting all your "Stuff" in one place that's mobile, is very helpful.. really helps getting organized..

Very cool!!!

But....

Check with your local racing org to see if they allow anything motorized in the pits. Most don't due to insurance regulations.

I can tell you Roebling Road wont allow any motorized vehicles unless they are licensed, in the pits. You can get an exemption if you need a golf cart etc. for medical reasons.

Hi Jeff,
We went "all in" on this one just to have fun with it.. our smaller, but most popular model has a pull handle to steer with and get it around.. no doubt about it.. This was the "What if" model, and it's a hoot to drive..

No visibility in front, good way to run over 8 year olds.

The biggest problem with this design I can see is he forgot the kart Question
