Photos from the 1976 Quincy Pro Kart race

I haven't karted in over 20 years, but I remember they run better if you put the spark plug in the head
Jim Bono (32) and Kyle Adkins (40) lead the field into turn one
Pace laps - Haddock in the #1 kart, Jim Bono in the 32
Jerrill Rice leads Lake Speed
This would be an ultra-sticky (for its day) Dunlop kart racing tire mounted on a Margay wheel
This would be a kart racing tire without any air in it. Pretty sure it's Jerrill Rice. Makes it very hard to drive...
...Although obviously not hard enough that he didn't pit and decided to stay out and run another lap!
The high water mark from the flood of 1973. That's a lot of water.
Lynn Haddock
Bobby Shiffert finished fourth
Terry Traeder taking the flag after a win
I think Lynn is doing a little more than tuning on the carb. Terry Ives follows in the 5.
Traeder chases Haddock
Terry Traeder (11) and Howard Combee (61) bring the field to the green flag
Terry Traeder at home - literally and figuratively. He won the 1976 Quincy Pro Race.
Combee leads Adkins and Haddock. This looks like turn 1 to me
Kyle Adkins (40), leads Jim Bono (partially hidden), Lynn Haddock (1), and Dave Thomas (12)
Adkins leads Shiffert, Bono, Haddock, and others
Possibly Rick Gifford? - Thanks Terri O' for the guess!
Adkins leads Shiffert, Bono, and Haddock again
Lake brought a direct-drive Birel to Quincy
The "go" part of Haddock's ride
Lake's Birel was powered by Parilla
Kyle Adkins finished third
Lake has engines in various stages of dis-assembly
Actually, Haddock lost his pipe and is trying to hold it on
Once again Adkins leads Shiffert, Bono, and Haddock
Terry Traeder won the big money
Terry and crew say Hello. Looks like Sal Noto looking over Terry's shoulder while Jim Bono suits up
A young Howard Combee
Jim Bono finished a well-deserved second
Kyle Adkins finished third
