Cannondale also had a motor mounted in a kart if I remember correctly,does anyone have any pics of it?

A recent computer crash lost all of my data and photos,thiat is the reason for all my pic requests.

This might be a poor photo of the kart.

OMG. Where was that taken? The cart looks out of place with the mx bikes in the back ground.

Could you imagine that thing with a 505 on board? Yee-Haw.

Unfortunetly I don't remember the history of this pic or who should recieve the propper credit for taking it. It does represent Cannondale's passionate pursuit for innovation at a time when creative thinking and risk taking were encouraged.

Don't carts that size usually have a lawn mower engine in them? Wouldn't a stock 432 be pretty wild in one?

I have seen carts like that with 450s' and cr500s' stuffed in to them running on an 1/8 mile circle track. when they crash its insane.

Ha,I didnt have that pic before.but that is the kart.And yes thats the size with the 5hp Briggs motors.Last year I raced with some friend with karts and it is very exilerating.The karts are stuckk to the road like glue,and excelerate like nothing I have ever driven.

I think I saw a pic of it on Optimum's website.

250 two-strokes here are making 92-93 bhp now, from two-cyl engines based around the RS250 motor. If you haven't got over 85bhp you're wasting your time in one.
