Photos from the 2016 Vintage Kart meet at New Castle Motorsports Park
Thanks to Kevin Lee we didn't have to load the kart back into the car every night
A 1967 Caretta SAE (drive shaft model) enduro with a BA13 rotary valve Parilla engine restored by Lynn Haddock
Note because of the drive shaft the sprocket is on the left side
Four karts ran out of the Haddock Ltd. tent. That's RT's Magnum in the foreground
Lynn restored this 1965 Dart Grand Prix and used a 1964 Komet K77 for power
A look at the rear of the Dart
This is the way karting used to be - Dart kart, rear engine, skinny tires
TC ran this Magnum in the 8.2 American Sidewinder class. Unfortunately, the rod didn't last through the next heat
Dale's cat came down sick so TC ran his newly-acquired Emmick to a 3rd place finish in the Yamaha class
Steve O'Hara wheeled the Dart for the weekend

As I spent most of the weekend - chasing Sandy Crittle Stropko
With 3 turns to go I had the lead!
Two long straights and two turns to go - as time would tell, this was not near a big enough lead
Just after the checkered fell
About 25 karts head to the green flag in heat 1 for the Yamaha class
