I feel I must add my little brother Tommy to the vote. He took over my seat in our family racing team when i took off for school. He simply takes the cake. He drives a prototype kart that we are developing for a new class in Sao Paulo, Brazil. ( Yeah, south america).
The kart is a 125cc style Kart Mini chassis mated with a Yamaha RZ 350 twin. We're making around 75hp. The chassis and engine w/no fluids weighs in @ 226 lbs. It's good for about 140mph and it gets there in a hurry!
Oh yeah, Tommy's only 14!

We get that alot. 
If anybody wants better pics of certain things, just shoot me an e-mail @ Propwash2@hotmail.com
We've got 2 of these karts built so far, a third one is a full prototype (one-off) chassis- and we're trying to get the factory to build them so we can begin taking orders for them. (none available in the US)

ted how about more pics of the kart on track |
I don't have a website i can put them up on to link to. If you have some way of posting them i'll just send them to you, but i can only get a couple up there. Here are a couple more. This thing is a blast to drive though, we're slowly building our clientel by letting the guys that have the $$ test drive it. its a bit much to drive on a sprint style track, it's really meant for a long road course, fortunatly my parents live less than a mile from the Interlagos F1 track there in Sao Paulo.  We've been doing the development there.

AHAHAHAHA, It's a little different down there, he was driving a 125cc fixed gear when he was 8 (34hp)(we limited it at first). I've noticed here in the states they wait forever before they put kids in karts with some actual horsepower! Ive got two younger brothers (10&11) that are in 125's already too. Like I said, we are pioneering this class so there are no real rules for us. We are following the FIA Formula-E rules as closely as possible for the actual kart, and i'm sure once we get the class up and running we will have an age limit, but right now we're it. I forgot to mention, the racing is our hobby! I think we may be sick! lol
