Very cool indeed; congrats on reaching this big milestone.
Jacob,
Maybe one of these days I'll make it to the other side of the river and check out your progress.

Fred, congrats on the first go-kart trip and that it turns, stops and comes back! The video showed two people and a dog walking at the side of the road which reminded me that when I drove my go-kart slowly around the 'hood there was a lady walking her cocker spaniel. When I was about 50 yards from her she grabbed her dog and ran about 30 feet from the road! Your neighbors are more brave than mine.

"Martha, hold on to precious! D...... those hot rodders. It's too loud and it's polluting our neighborhood with fumes." Oh well, maybe they are more pro-cobra than that. Offer them a ride and they will be totally converted. Anyway, it's always good to see a new go kart out there. Look like a good build. By the way, did you install quick connect plugs on your wiring? I couldn't really tell but it looked like it. Thanks for the video, WEK.
S & B,
If you're talking about the wires hanging down for the front/tail lights, that's part of the Francis wiring harness.
Neighbors have been pretty good so far, the dogs are another story.
