Description

A go cart being test driven at the 17th Construction Squadron workshop depot, Vung Tau. Building and racing go carts was a popular pastime for some members of the 17th Construction Squadron and a section of the Vung Tau Back Beach was reserved for racing. It is powered by a United States (US) flat four generator engine with the wheels and tyres acquired from a US CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
