"Lies and broken promises!" That was the venom spewing from the Go Cart as it headed out of the Barnhart Motorsports complex last Saturday. "I'll be back to show you!" it screamed from the back of the pickup truck that carried it away. Thus ended the painful relationship between the Barnhart Motorsports team and the Go Cart. As late as one week ago the team was searching for the right engine and sprocket to put the Go Cart into running order, however, it became apparent when the team abruptly switched its efforts and financial backing from the Go Cart to the Mini Bike, that things had run amok in the long and slow efforts to make something of the Go Cart.
"We hated to see it end this way" stated Mike Barnhart, crew chief with Barnhart Motorsports, "We had every intention of getting that Cart up and running until just this week". "If we could have gotten more co-operation, we think things may have turned out very differently." "We just couldn't work with it anymore", said Barnhart. "When the opportunity to work with the Mini Bike came up, it was just too good to pass up". Barnhart explained that the next day after the Mini Bike was brought in, the Go Cart began to demand to be sold or traded to another team. "I just hope it can work out somewhere else, sometimes those things do, I wish it the best of luck" concluded Barnhart.
The Go Cart was contacted at it's new owners location, "I am really hurt and angry over this whole situation!" "I had been promised to be brought up to running order for years, then they bring in this sassy little mini bike frame and in one day have the sprocket mounted on the rear wheel and purchased a new engine!" "If they think I'm just going to sit here and rust away while they continue to lie to me and put me off, then they have another thing coming" "My hope is the new owners will see the potential in me that I know exists, and will get me up and running soon." "I am really hoping to meet that little prissy mini bike out on the trail some day and kick some dirt down it's intake!"

So where is the go cart going? Giving it away?
HA! you made me laugh out loud. good job dad. actually, i guess that's not too hard to do.....
David, the Go Cart was sold to another team for 30 dollars last week. Don't think the Go Cart didn't call me Judas, who sold Christ for 30 pieces of silver.
Well with that attitude, I'd be glad to be rid of it.
