I remember the electric go carts very well, that's me in the picture. :) They were located where the Oceana stadium is now. I don't think they lasted for too many seasons. The were powered by strips of metal fastened to the wooden track, sort of like a slot car without slots. They were entirely operated and steered by the rider, just like the gas go carts in Challenge Park. I had a lot of fun on the carts.

Ha! I didn't realize that was you, Pete! Now that you mention it though, it does look like a "little you!"

Are the electric go cars you are talking about the same thing as the Auto Race or whatever at Kennywood?
