Thought you guys might like to see my Gilmers. All credit to Jan, he built em. Wheels and tires on the Offy are BRP; wheels on the Kawasaki are Delara. Knockoffs are by Ed Berube and Skellenger (I kept the original wheels and tires too).

Bobby where's the pull start on the Kawasaki or is that a push and go?

Emilio, it's a direct drive push start - like a full size midget ;-)

That's what I thought, my first Gilmer had the Kawasaki T20 with pull start and that too was a push and go. I thought it was insane to have a car of this caliber without a clutch, but I would imagine that you just let off the throttle or hit the brake and it stalls out?

This one has a toggle switch for the ignition, you can see it on the right side. You'd have to catch it on the pit lane and turn it off! I suppose you could rig a kill wire like a tether car. If I were running it I think I would rig a kill switch so I could turn it off with the transmitter. I got this one from Jan, never run. You'd want a track; none around here now, and I got involved in other things.
