The original owner died, his son took over. Then he sold it to Jack in Joplin who switched to the vans. The family still owns the building that kiddie kart started in.

Yep, the son ran it for a long while and was set to pass it to his son (who was on the trucks for years) but sold it to Jack instead. The grandson tried to keep it running after the sale but it wasn't a tenable situation and he walked away.

I wished Justin could have kept it. He was a great influence on me In my youth.
