Go Cart on Main Street

The Deaton boys were crazy!!  They had a really nice go cart, and they drove it all over town.  The town was Wann, of course, so nobody even cared.  At the time, the main street through Wann was a paved county road, and had very little traffic.  Main Street is now Oklahoma State Highway 10, so I doubt that they could get away with using it for their private raceway.  My older brother and I took the Deaton go cart for a couple of spins and had a blast.  We later acquired a go cart of our own.  It had an old Cushman motor scooter engine, with a two speed transmission.  Wide open, going down the county road in front of our rural Pawnee County home, it would do about 60 to 65 miles per hour.  It was a lot of fun, but probably no safer than the Deaton boys and their many trips around Wann.
