Nine go karts reached speeds up to 45 mph in the 30 lap all class feature with Harold Williams and Jimmy Kiser winning multiple divisions amid mechanical problems and occasional rocks from the track. Proceeds fund plans for a Nickelville Road race track recreation project and the event yielded valuable experience for future Jaycee promotions.
