Micky Rupp was a drag racer and in the 70's they started making these for pit bikes because the typical minibike wasn't to their liking.

Chilli, They made typical minis... Wish I still had mine, All I have now is fond memories and a photo. (I know how much you guys LOVE photos)

I saw one a few years back, but thats the only one I've seen in person.  Pretty cool though.

Comet Torque converters, which gave them a wide range in the transmission.. They would go about 37mph.... pretty fun to tool around on. PC if you run into any of these in a barn somehwere. It might be worth your while to pick.

Does anyone have any of these 60s-70s minibikes or had any. I have two. One running one that needs restored. The one to restore has a factory kickstart on the Tecumseh 5hp.  Kind of a regional thing. Micky Rupp was a drag racer and in the 60's they started making these and other models,.. for pit bikes.
