You can hear it bog on this run.  It was usually that or blow the tires off.  I doubt the drive train would hold up with slicks.  Thank you for the kind compliments too.  The FTD was for an MG the year it was the featured Marque. I started building go-carts out of old lawn mowers as a kid.  My Parents took me to see the movie Grand Prix downtown Pittsburgh on Cinamascope when I was a teen but not quite old enough to drive yet.  Then they wondered why I was always getting speeding tickets and my car was always broke. LOL

And for whomever asked, yes Keystone Raceway Park.  Charles would rent the track for an afternoon during the Summer Party.   I believe the AutoX was at the college parking lot the year of this video.  Great times with good friends and memories to last a lifetime.
