Beginning with easy instructions for building a car, the authors explain the whys and wherefores of selecting an engine; how an engine works; the advantages and disadvantages of two and four cycle engines, and which is best for your car... and why.

They give detailed instructions on how to build a chassis, and construct wheel and braking systems and engine mounting. No detail of the car's construction from the suspension system to the refinements of upholstery are overlooked.

There is an excellent chapter on commercial karts, the authors tell what to look for when buying a kart, and what to avoid.

Great book on how to build your own go-kart!
