01
Artifact Overview
Racing go-karts first appeared in California after World War II. Racers could purchase fully assembled karts or unfinished kits, or they could build their own designs. By the early 1960s, go-kart tracks operated throughout the United States. The sport was regulated by two major sanctioning bodies: the International Kart Federation formed in 1957, and the World Karting Association established in 1971.
