GK1200 Repro


	GoKart 1200 - a reproduction project


	"Early in the Spring of 2004, a guy showed up on the vintage karting message boards offering to make new GoPower wheels. At first nobody believed the guy, since many had made such promises before and never followed through. This guy was Scott Wigginton, not only did he follow through with the wheels, he delivered an amazing reproduction of the GoKart 1200! Great work Scott!" - Jeff Campbell
