The Brodhead Historics - Vintage Karting Show Winner 2009

The Brodhead Historics - July 16-18th, 2009, Vintage Karting Assocation
Produced by http://VintagePowerSport.com
Winner - "Best Original Rear Engine Kart"
This kart belongs to John Augustine, it's a very nice example of a 1962 McCulloch R300 racing kart. The kart is powered by dual McCulloch MC9 engines, with a displacement of 100cc each. The Brodhead HIstorics is an annual vintage karting event held at the historic Sugar River Raceway in Brodhead WI.

A little history on Sugar River Raceway ... it is the home of the extremely unique Blackhawk racing karts. Don Fairman was a GM engineer when he designed the first Blackhawk kart. Don quit his job at GM to pursue kart manufacturing and running his race track. He built Sugar River Raceway literally in his own backyard in the early 60's. The track became very popular, so much so, the Nationals where held there in 1965, 1972, & 1981. Don continued making Blackhawk karts until he passed away in 1994. His karts all had the same very distinctive frame design, but models did progress over the years from rear engine to sidewinder, to bucket seat, and later to adjustable castor/camber.....

I race in Sr. Super Stock Honda at this track. It sure is a lot of fun and not too bad on cost. Your video was pretty cool!!

(uploader) It's a great track, with historical significance, since some of the best kart drivers of all time have run there over the years. Come watch the vintage event this year, some of the later period dual engine classes really turn some hot laps!!!

@MiniBikeOutlaws - thanks for the positive feedback. As for this video, it was all shot in high speed mode (slow motion) ... which with my camera and most, excludes the option of recording the audio .. not that anyone would really want to hear engines running in slow motion! (a little humor there) ... I do understand what you are saying, the sound of the old motors is something many people want to hear, and I starting including more of that in more recent videos.
