all go NO STOP. there is no front brake and probably just a tire scrub brake.

I see a hydraulic master cylinder on the right hand brake - that's a good sign.

Now about that seat . . .

Needs a wheelie bar for sure!

Ever saw the GSXR-Kart??  (Maybe labeled gixxer-kart... I don't remember)

Yeah... someone strapped a Suzuki GSXR engine to a Go-Kart...

180 mph on the straights (race track) and still spinning the tires!!  The tires lasted 2 laps and blew out... made for one impressive spin out at about 80 mph!!!

That's cool.

When I was a kid a local used to bring a Rupp mini-bike with a Hodaka super rat motor to the local "hill climb" area. The toughest hill there was called the wall, it started just 30 feet or so from a strip pit so there wasn't much room for a run at it. The hill/spill bank was at least 75 yards tall and too steep to walk up. Even the better riders usually crashed 1 out of 3 tries.

I saw the Rupp with the Hodaka motor make it a time or two although it usually spun out and and came  back down separately from the rider. The mine closed off that area and bulldozed it after some people died in a jeep there.

Until then, many riders and spectators spent their weekends there. It was way off the beaten path and involved a lot of setting on hoods, beer drinking, crashes and insanity.

Alas, it was long before the age of lawsuits.
