Fun project.. thinking about offering them to the racers with dimensions provided by the customer.. that way your rollaway will fit.. let me know through PM's and we can work out the details..
Lot's of options from mild to wild in the "Power" department, or as simple as a pull handle.. but believe me, they are a real attention getter and fun to drive! Cool

Looks like fun. Are you the same guy selling them on Bob's?

I was wondering how they roll on rougher terrain. I can't really think of a use, other than riding around, and its certainly too big for a lot of sprint pit areas, but it looks like a hoot.

same,same Tim.. rough terrain will be no problem with treaded tires.. and as far as useage.. getting all your "Stuff" in one place that's mobile, is very helpful.. really helps getting organized..

Very cool!!!

But....

Check with your local racing org to see if they allow anything motorized in the pits. Most don't due to insurance regulations.

Just tell 'em it's your slightly modified HoverRound and it's a medical necessity...

I can tell you Roebling Road wont allow any motorized vehicles unless they are licensed, in the pits. You can get an exemption if you need a golf cart etc. for medical reasons.

Hi Jeff,
We went "all in" on this one just to have fun with it.. our smaller, but most popular model has a pull handle to steer with and get it around.. no doubt about it.. This was the "What if" model, and it's a hoot to drive..

No visibility in front, good way to run over 8 year olds.

Walt.. we don't go driving it around the pits like idiots when there are kids around.. we roll it out of the trailer and drive it back in.. so we don't have to push it up the ramp.. common sense is a great thing..

John, it wasn't designed to haul the kart.. just the support equipment and tires.. works well in that capacity..

The driver has to do some thing >>>Push Kart To Grid<<< besides drive LoL . Ken and fellow racers do a lot of indoor racing this time of year. And trailers do not come inside of building. I guess you could do like very first cars on US roads had to do . Have some one with Red Flags and lanterns walk in front of car.
