It is not uncommon to see UTVs, golf carts and even small cars/SUVs used as pit v ehicles at pull tracks, but they can be quite expensive. To maximize the funds going toward his pull truck, the “Inbred Inline” Cummins-powered 2000 Chevy 3500, and minimize the funds going toward his pit vehicle, Anthony Finkbeiner purchased a 1992 Club Car golf cart for just $500. The only ca tch was that it was missing the engine—making it the perf ect candidate for a small-scale diesel swap.
