Did you know go-karting, a sport adored globally today, first came into existence in the 1950s? Art Ingels invented the first go-kart in Southern California during the summer of 1956. The go-kart was inspired by the racing cars he helped construct at Kurtis Kraft. The chassis was crafted from steel tubing and was lightweight yet strong enough to support adult passengers. The chassis was also designed to be low to the ground and featured a wide track to improve stability. Ingels’ friend Lou Borelli then mounted a surplus two-cycle West Bend 2.5hp lawnmower engine manufactured by McCulloch on the chassis. Thus, the world’s first go-kart was born.
