Bill Whitelaw, Dublin OH updatgreen.gif (772 bytes) 2/1/0
1. 1964 Dart Grand Prix with twin MC-91's. This is the Kart that is currently pictured on the Vintage Kart Web Site. I've added a few more polished parts, but it is basically unchanged from how it is pictured.
2. 1964 Dart Grand Prix with original MC-9. This Kart is currently under going a complete restoration to the original 1964  "As Run" configuration. It may be finished up with dual MC-9's. 3. 1965 Dart Grand Prix with MC-91. Currently under going a complete restoration with a MC-91or 92. This Kart will be for my son to run at the Vintage races this year. 4. 1966 Dart Chaparral with a MC-101. Another Kart that is in the process of being restored. This will probably be one of the Karts that I run at the Vintage events this year.
5. 1966 Dart Chaparral with twin MC-101's. This Kart when it's finished will have front wheel disc brakes and a two caliper rear brake. The engines will most likely have three carbs each.
6. 1966 Dart Chaparral Enduro with twin MC-91's. This Kart is also being restored to an "As Run" configuration.
7. 196? Dart Kart that is currently without an engine, and I'm not sure exactly what it is. I think that some one converted a one piece chassis to a two piece. I'm unsure of the pedigree on this on and will probably sell it off as a bare frame.
Since I have most of the parts to finish all of these Karts, it becomes a matter of finding the time to complete the work.
Bill's address is PO Box 471, Dublin OH 43017.

I am writing this for my dad. He is the original owner of a Rupp Grand Prix and he thinks that it is ~69 vintage. At some point in time we will supply some photos to let the readers help us out with the year. He ran both single and dual Mac's in what was supposed to be a stock class. We still have the kart, engines, tires, and a Margay gear box. He did not like the gearbox - made him slower. My dad tended to win quite a bit and he raced in Buchanan and various tracks around Michigan and Indiana. Should you know him and would like to drop a line, I will give him the incoming email. By the way - It is not for sale and we hope to have it restored for 2004.

1960 Dark Kart Super K, 1961 Homelite KL-100.
At 14 or 15 years old in 1960 and 1961, I raced a Homelite Spitfire kart with a Power Products engine. I hadn't driven a kart since my Spitfire was lost in a move in 1963. In 2003, I got the bug to ride again, and purchased this kart and engine from Jack Foster in New Jersey. The Spitfire was a dog, and I had always wanted a Dart Kart or a Go-Kart 800. Now I have one. My Dart Super K needs more than a little work, but it runs nicely already. The kart will get whatever attention it needs - and a whole lot more - over the next year.

I am a Shriner with the Bahia Shrine in Orlando, Florida. I am currently the President of a unit called the Roadrunners. We drive 1/8 scale 68 Corvettes in many of the different holiday parades throughout central Florida. I currently own two of the karts. The information we have is that all the original karts were produced for several Shrine organizations by Rupp Manufacturing in 1968. Many of the stock originals are still running 8hp Kohler engines while the others are running newer 5hp Briggs engines. The second kart I acquired had been wrecked several years ago and I am currently restoring the body which has a data plate riveted inside the cockpit. It reads:

James Coulthard, Blyth, Northumberland, England, UK
Barlotti A-Frame 1969 - engine Parilla BA13
Bought the kart 15 years ago as I was a Kart Dealer in the UK (Karthouse Racing), gave the kart to a good friend of mine as he was looking for a "starter" kart for his son. The kart stood in his garage for the last 15 years. I told him I was going into vintage karts and he said "you can have the Barlotti back". I had forgotten all about it - but I accepted his offer. Now I am totally refurbishing it.
Will be a pleasure to be a member of the Vintage Kart Association of America!

1962 Percival Hellcat, twin AH57's
A four year search ended with a hit on ebay and making the seller take it off ebay five minutes after he posted it before any bids were placed. The cost was steep, but we meant business. Kart had no rust. It is built like a tank. The power of the 57's is a little disappointing, even though it is a replica of what we ran when we were kids and only weighed 75 lbs. Currently exploring increasing the compression and rod strength of the 57's and letting them breathe better.
Any tips on AH57 power increase appreciated.

I originally bought the Blitz KART w/ paper boy delivery savings in 1962 and raced it in Phonexville, PA from 1962-1964. I then went to Air Force Academy and stored it till 1969 when I was in AF Pilot Training and bought the MC91A and raced it in Valdosta GA for a year. Again I stored it when I went to off to Viet Nam as a AF Pilot, and then restored it in 1980 for my 2x daughter to drive (used an old 4 cycle engine for their fun driving). Then again into storage till now when I am interested in selling both the Blitz Kart and MC engines.

1962 Hellcat SL
- was campaigned in central New York for four years. It ran Mac 6 and Mac 7 engines in both A stock and A super classes. At one time we converted to gear drive and incorporated a Mac disk brake that is still on the machine. It presently has a Mac floating engine mount, but unfortunately no engine. The original upholstery is intact, but it has a later sterring colunm due to local regulations at that time. This machine won numerous events and was my fathers pride and joy.
I would let it go to a good home.

My friend's father would never allow me to ride his homemade kart with a lawnmower engine on it because he said it was too fast for me. My father heard that and then bought me this Fox Flyweight kart with an M9. I was the fastest 8 years old in the neighborhood! We never raced this kart. We used to run it in store parking lots, up and down the street and on an unfinished highway near the neighborhood.
