Karting - racing fast little cars

In the middle of the summer Ingles made the first little car. It had a lawn mower engine, the wheels were a foot and a half round. The frame was three feet long, and it had a leather seat. Basically it was made of metal. Then his cousin wanted a little car too. So then people started buiding their own little cars. Next came racing. There were three kinds of racing. First came sprint racing. They would race on a one mile track. Second came Super Kart racing. They would go on a three to four mile track with twist and turns. Third came Ice Racing, the cars would have nails stiking out of the tires so when they raced around the track it would give them grip. Super kart racing is different because 1 to 20 cars could race. The other races only go up to 1 to 10 cars in the race. I like this book because it told me a lot about cars.
