On a visit to wiard world HQ last summer, Grant was nice enough to 
lift the curtain and let me honk around on the prototype. On the 
surface, the idea seems unglamorous but when you can hold it in your

I had STP, Hurst Shifter, and Cherry exhaust systems stickers on my 
go-kart even though it had a two-cycle engine, belt drive and used 
2-inch piece of galvanized pipe for a muffler...
so why not candy-apple red with cream-white stripes?
