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
