Ok I bought the orange one last fall. I have since sold it. This weekend I found the yellow one. I know it is a Rob Ron as well but what year did they build these? They both have rupp turbin wheels and seat back gas tanks. The yellow one is drilled for a chrome seat back rupp tank. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance
Josh

Thanks David
I called Robert this morning, and I now I know the history on these karts. Now what are the rules for running them? Legal or not Legal? No reason to spend the money to redo the kart if I can not run it :D .
Thanks
Josh

Josh-

You can run them everywhere that I know of, because it's just a repop of a Rupp kart, not anything out of period.
