I think its a great question and I’ve often wondered myself. I guess most endup buried in garages. Shame in many ways as they could be given to schools, youth programs and soforth and have a new lease of life.

There is a 1997 PCR somewhere in the attic in my garage, probably has spider webs …

How about an iRacing Frame. I’m looking for an old trashed out frame that I can blast, paint and mount some monitors on. It’d be perfect.

We usually sell them before they’re  junk.  But my son converted an old shifter chassis into a bomb proof yard kart, with a Honda 4 stoke on it.  Can’t break a racing chassis in the back yard!!  I almost feel sorry for it, but it does NOT break—and you can get parts for it!

The Play Station/IRacing seat idea has some merit.  But even a bare frame isn’t light or easy to store.  I think some of the purpose built game chairs might be a better buy, AND they’re all ready to go.

Well, this brings up a sore subject. I gladly threw my 2003 Biesse B3  away after only 25 hours on the chassis. It broke at the rear bearing hangers on both sides of the frame rails. Of course I stripped it of all valuable hardware except that vulnerable lower steering shaft bearing that would wear out after 3 hours of use and is different than any kart made. I did manage to retro-fit the 50mm axle rear brake assembly onto a 40mm axle kart.

We would gladly take your old kart for an Arrive and Drive kart at Mid-State Kart Club.

We also re-cycle trophies.  If you have boxes of old trophies in your attic or garage, we would like to have them.   Russ Kemple – Mid-State Kart Club

Donated a couple of cadet chassis’s to the local club for Arrive-n-drive.

Traded an old Emmick to another forum member so he could fix it up and hang it on the wall. I got an old LTO kart that I wish I had more time for…

Currently run another old Emmick just for fun in the 4cycle class at the track.

I think they mostly go to guys who think it’s a good idea to put some giant motorcycle engine on them….
