Project Red Dirt is complete. The photo was taken just prior to attaching the engine final drive and re-installing the fuel cell/water bottle on the front down tube.

When I was at UW in '84, a friend built a go-kart with a Z-1 900cc engine in the back running through a 3-piece shaft that allowed 4-wheel independant suspension. It had disk brakes and a shift lever right at your crotch which was probably not the best setup as they put little caster in it and it would change directions at a frightening rate. They'd run the thing at night on Vashon Island with a headlight on a constant loss battery. Very much a bad boy but then the guy's daily driver was a Bradley kit car with a turbocharged corvair engine in it. He blew the transmission so often that he could drop the engine and swap in a new unit faster than you could finish a cup of coffee.

45 years ago we used to mount an engine above the rear wheel, use electrical tape to fill a small pulley. Sure does bring back memories.

How about a Kawasaki 750 triple 2-stroke with 5 speed gear box?
