Dirt Karts near wilshire gun?

[O4L]

Does anyone remember that go-kart track in Ok City from back in the early/mid 60's,,,
It was way out on May avenue close to the fairgrounds.

No helmets or any gear required,,,
Just fork over your cash,,,
And drive like hell.

If I recall correctly it was $1.00 for twenty laps,,,
It was a Huge Big Deal when dad would take me and my brothers there.

When they closed down dad bought two of the well used carts,,,
They were in terrible shape but were only 20 bucks each.

They lasted one whole summer on the dirt roads behind my house.

Good times!

I don't remember those but I do remember racing carts at MacArthur Park when I was a teenager in the '70s.

Haha. Same here. I always loved the Datsun 280Z cards, until I stood next to one and learned that it'd be a car I have to wear rather than a car I can get in.

When I was a young teen I was crazy about the Z cars but at 6'6" I realized it was only a dream. (Kinda like my dream of becoming a fighter pilot.)

“What are the age/height/weight requirements?
There is no minimum age, but you must be 56″ to reach the pedals. Children under the age of 18 must bring a parent to sign their parental consent waiver. The maxium weight is 285lbs.”

This takes out 1/2 the members….
