Those King Midgets are something else. I met a guy last year that was the only original owner left in the country, and he shared a ton of info about them with me.
I guess they were only available by ordering one from the back of a popular science magazine, or something like that. He took the bus to Indiana to pick his up brand new and drove it home right from the factory. He drove his over 100,000 miles on the original drivetrain before pro-streeting it with a crotch rocket motor.
Here's a pic of how big they aren't.
Can you imagine driving that go cart for over 100k miles??!!
Neat thread and pix Tim!
