BIG THANKS
Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2025 8:37 pm
The 2025 edition of THE BIG ONE is now in the record books and it played out under some of the most awesome weather conditions imaginable and everyone who attended this years event got to have one heck of a pleasurable celebration to commemorate the early days of American karting.
We again had a large crowd on hand with many of the usual folks returning but a few of the long time regulars could not attend due to illness and other commitments however historical kartings all around good guy and roving reporter Frank Weir made his return combined with a generous host of new faces were in attendance. The comradery of the participants together with the on track activities combined with another great swap meet truely made the 2025 edition of TBO another one for the record books.
