Thanks

I had a neighbor in the late 60s who was into kart racing

I remember he ran Mac engines as well as Komet (Comet?) and I still remember the high pitched scream of tuned pipes and the smell of castor oil

I took one of his carts for a hot lap once and it scared the crap out of me

It felt like a WHOLE LOT of power to me
Yeah, I think it was komet. My dad ran one on one of his karts. It's was a K11 motor. He also ran Yamaha kt100's. Has all kinda of stories on racing and porting those motors.

It looked a lot like on tree in Founders grove that we seen. Been 7 years since I was there so it’s a little fuzzy.
Only about 10 miles west of Founders Grove on Mattole Rd.

Mattole road used to be the way home for me. Lived on lighthouse road in Petrolia. Goddamned beautiful place. Mostly wrecked by the worst of the dope growing, and the commute to the closest real grocery store was killer on a vehicle, so I can't say I really miss it, but man was it beautiful.

Yep. Same here in Trinity County... I can’t even park at the grocery store without some foreigner asking me if I need help trimming my weed. I tell them to *f-word off.

So, you don't need any help with your weed then??

Asking for a friend...

Did your grandpa have a shop on Highway 199 between Selma and Wilderville? I went down in 2005 and bought two pick up loads of old inventory from a guy there who was a partner in dealership
from 1966 to 1989.
My father and grandfather owned a shop in Medford. They closed up and sold their inventory in 2009.
