Go Kart Bags
Description: Rupp Industries was born in 1959 when Mickey Rupp began assembling and selling go-karts from his basement in Mansfield, Ohio. Originally called Rupp Manufacturing, the name Rupp Industries was adopted in 1971. In that year Rupp employed 400, with 23 engineers in the R&D department and sales in the millions. In addition to their popular go-karts, Rupp began producing minibikes and snowmobiles in the early 1960s. Mickey Rupp sold the company in 1973 when it ran into financial trouble as the market turned. Although the Rupp would continue to produce dirt bikes, minibikes, and snowmobiles, they would never regain financial stability and by 1978, went bankrupt.

Description: If you head to 192nd and Aurora Avenue North in what is now the City of Shoreline, you would have no idea that it was home to a go-kart track right on the corner during the '60s. Kart Pike Go Kart Track opened in the early '60s and was apparently still up and running at the end of the decade in this unincorporated North Seattle area. No idea what a few laps cost back then, but odds are it was good, clean fun with minimal spend.

Description: Chestein Wynn was a 70-year-old retired attorney who had an interest in chemistry and it was in his dilapidated garage in San Gabriel, California where he came up with a formula to reduce engine wear by reducing friction. In 1939 Wynn started giving bottles of his 'friction proofing' oil to friends and, eventually, began to distribute his product at local service stations. Rationing and conservation efforts during World War II prevented Wynn from producing and marketing his unique oil, but he used this time to continue to research and improve the formula. In 1946 production resumed in Wynn's garage and now with his son Carl on board, they were able to increase production, hire salesmen, and talked their product to a national audience.
Description: Simplex Manufacturing Corporation was an American manufacturer that made motorcycles and other small engine vehicles from 1935 to 1975. Simplex's minimalist philosophy was maintained throughout the company's history, whose designs changed little after 1935. By the 1950s, Simplex's designs were considered primitive, leading to the end of their motorcycle models. However, they continued to make minibikes and karts, including their highly competitive Challenger series, using their proprietary engines until 1975, when they went out of business.
