High Speed Karting Accident (1997)

Q: Why did the guy in the red shirt just stand there? Why didn't he help? A: That man (Fred Perry) was about 80 years old when this incident happened. He was not a marshal, he was not part of the track crew and he was not part of the safety team. Fred was in charge of the pits. His job during the races was to keep track of who was exiting the track and going into the pit area. This accident happened right at the entrance to the pit area. Fred was old and didn't move around too well. Fred died about two and a half years later. --- Q: Why did it take so long for the medics to get to him? A: There is some discussion as to whether it took too long for help to arrive. I'll let you decided for yourself. Here are the response times: 13 seconds - Track crew 27 seconds - Track safety/rescue crew 90 seconds - City EMT Ambulance --- Q: Did the driver die? A: He received minor injuries (bruised heel & minor concussion) from this accident. Sadly he died about 9 years later due to a heart attack. --- Q: Why did they tend to the Kart before they tended to the driver? A: The were moving the Kart off the track to clear the way for emergency vehicles. --- Q: What kind of kart was this? A: These are 125cc shifter Karts. --- Q: Where was this? A: This was at Cajon Speedway in El Cajon, California. The track closed in 2005. --- Q: Why wasn't he wearing a seatbelt? A: These karts do not have seat belts. Seat belts would cause more injuries than they would prevent. It's better to be thrown ...

Coolster Challenger 250cc Go Kart Mini Buggy Walkaround and Drive By

This is an interesting machine. It's got a 250cc engine and is a single seater. Top speed is GPS'd at 47mph and it will get there pretty quick. Certainly one of the better looking buggies made. This is also probably one of the best woods buggies out there.
