Forget about horsepower and drag coefficients for awhile and involve yourself in some good old-fashioned fun. CycleKarting clubs, unlike many of today’s supercar-laden driving programs, takes it back to the basics with low costs and simple mechanics. These 200cc Karts evoke the classic, oft-imitated Bugatti Type 35 style, lending a nostalgic component to the backyard shenanigans. The Karts are hand-built on a budget of less than $2,000, and the clubs are invite-only to dissuade overcompetitive killjoys; in these troubled economic times it’s nice to see a sport that embraces camrederie and inventiveness over the high-horsepower, bigger-is-better mindset of some luxury automakers.

Yup, these things are awesome. They were the inspiration behind me building a slightly more tame version for my boys. http://thegokart.wordpress.com
The plans for my kart were in fact produced by the guy that had started these CycleKarts up as well. Great stuff!
