Description
Update 5/2: As one keen eyed member pointed out, this is Advanced Racing Development GeForce GFX200/220 custom kart.
Update 4/29: Iconic has completed a safety inspection of the cart. Please see the Maintenance section below.
Karting first appeared in the late 1950s when Art Ingels, a race car builder, assembled the first Go Kart in his garage in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Early, unofficial, events were held in the Rose Bowl parking lot but as popularity increased complaints did as well so the first official races were held at the Eastland Shopping Center in West Covina, about 25 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
Oval tracks are typically 1/10 mile to 1/4 mile in length with surfaces varying from pavement, to loose dirt to hard-packed clay or even sandy coverings; banking can range from flat to steeply banked. Cart chassis are off-set as races are left turn only — notice the different width tires.
Iconic purchased this cart as part of a package deal. We want it to go to use and have decided to auction it with no reserve.
The engine is a Predator 212 with approximately 5 horsepower. This has an estimate 25 minutes of use on them.
The pedals are branded GeForce Racing Chassis and we also spot parts marked ARD. If anyone in the Iconic community knows more about these, please post a Comment.
