I found this picture of an early 'go-kart' on a powerpoint presentation that I recieved via email. No information about it was included.

Most of the pictures in the pps were from the period 1920 to 1922, so I assume the go-kart is from this era also.

There is a Cruiser in the Tank Museum in Bovington in Dorset here in the UK. Not strictly a Christie as such, but based on a Christie design. The link is attached

That is a Smith Motor Wheel, later sold out to Briggs & Stratton. There was an electric that looked a lot like it called the Red Bug.

Good guess Bob, according to a brief history of Geneva town Ohio the racer was known as the 'Turtle'. It's hard to tell who's driving, W.C.Buckman and John McDonald are recorded as driving Genevas in 1902 at several tracks but not the same car at once It could be Grosse Pointe.

This Mercedes I believe is higher horsepower than the red one. Can anyone tell us the histories of these two cars as they are surely known. Could the red one possibly be the Collins car ??
