Bought a cheap go cart today, and got really hurt!!!

[1 Bad 68]

:D We had 2 pocket bikes and the go-cart out at c-zone for about an hour and a half today. Within the first 10 min of me on the go cart doing donuts at full speed, it caught once and hi-sided throwing me straight off. I estimate 20-25mph. I start flipping, and the car is flipping behind me, and lands on me and I roll a few more times with it ontop of me. All this while Morgan and Josh are staring at me. Heh, there was a couple walking across the parking lot too. I remember flipping to one side and seeing them laughing at me,then when I rolled around, the couple both looked like they were watching some one die. Priceless :bigthumb: Wish we had a camera. I picked up my sunglasses, where were about 10 feet from me, then got back on and rode on out. The damn thing was still running upside down, smoking a good bit because all the oil was coming past the piston. I have a strawberry all the way down my left arm, a small one on my right elbow, 3 on my left leg, 1 on my right leg and I had to dig a rock out of my right palm. (Guess I won't be spending time with my girlfiend anytime soon!) :rofl: ;) I also can't move my right big toe, I don't know if its broken , or if I just stretched it, it hurts pretty bad though. Heres a pic of the cart I got:

ROFL...

You have to reinact the entire scene again but, this time on camera...

Where'd you pick up this little new toy...

Is it a shifter cart? The pic isn't showing up

:lol: Naw, you could never flip a racing kart. It's the kind of kart you'd buy at Sears or wherever. You gotta be logged on to cars-ce to see the pic.

Never say never. If the physics were right and the chassis had some extra flex in it, I bet it would tumble.

Believe me, I know all about them, and the physics make it impossible. ;) On a reasonably flat surface anyway. If you spun it into a ditch it would flip. :lol:

Sams shifter kart lifts the inner front tire on resonably slow turns. I figured a sharp turn at say 80mph might cause a highside effect or something like that and snap it over. Hell, I am glad to hear they won't flip, that just makes things safer for me. All I am saying is that according to physics, we aren't supposed to be able to run 4sec 1/4 miles with top fuel dragsters, the Titanic wasn't supposed to sink, etc. I think you see where I am going with this. I agree that it would be nearly impossible, but saying never just seems to bold. Anyways, OB, turn it into a shifter cart and we can spend all day trying to flip it.

If the cart can flip, you must aquit!

My shifter cart will be able to flip!!! hahahhaha Next week I'm on vacation, and will be heading to Willies cycle salvage. If he doesn't have anything, I'll be vising www.ebay.com cause I've already found some motors on there to get.
