Atkins Rotary built a few rotary engines for racing karts... but the kart class banned rotary engines (go figure) so they cant use them. im sure they'd build someone a kart rotary...

i've thouught of doing that with one of our extra 12A's, but my dad was complaining that it would be "too much power" for it. that would be fun to ride one of those around town, or race. i can imagine how much fun that would be.

how would it be too much power? if you geared it out to the point you got traction in first gear, your top speed would be......well, dangerous as hell i'm guessing, i'm gonna do some research.
