Go Karts Plus August 1998 (Part 2 of 3)

Today we're back at Go Karts Plus!

Yesterday we started off with a quick overview of the park and began talking about the park's signature attraction, the Super Stockart Raceway.

Today we have two more images for you both highlighting the great Stockart Go Karts featured in this attraction.





The shot above is a great close up of one of the #24 DuPont Stockarts wearing Jeff Gordon's classic rainbow paint scheme. As mentioned in yesterday's post, you can clearly see the second #24 DuPont car sitting in the next lane of the pit. To the best of my knowledge these cars were marked car #24-A and car #24-B respectively. Many of the most popular cars, drivers, and paint schemes had two identical vehicles.

To board the Stockarts one has to lift up the shell from the windshield and enter. That unique and distinguishing feature in addition to the replica decals and paint schemes of the real/former NASCAR stars helps make this attraction fun, different, and popular to this day.

What were some of the other famous 90's paint schemes featured on this attraction?

Many of those listed above can be seen in Stockart form at GoKarts Plus here and here.

Over time several of the older paint schemes and doubles have been replaced with their more modern NASCAR counterparts, such as a #17 DeWalt instead of Darrel Waltrip's classic #17 Western Auto scheme from the 90's and a #29 Goodwrench to match the one driven by Kevin Harvick after the untimely passing of Dale Earnhardt, Sr. I'm sure by now one of the two Lowe's vehicles have been updated to reflect the paint scheme of now 5 time Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson.


That wraps things up for today folks! We have one more day left at Go Karts Plus 1998! 


I hope you have been enjoying what you have seen so far and be sure to stop back by tomorrow!
