A
t the beginning of the sixties decade the Roadrunner and the ‘A’ Runner karts were fairly well known in the Midwest area of the United States of America. The karts were manufactured by K & SEngineering and distributed by Midwest Model Supply; businesses that were located in Chicago. The first adverts printed in the karting magazines at that time for K & SEngineering with an address at 7541 South Halsted Street, Chicago, appeared in late 1960 announcing their Roadrunner kart. Incidentally Midwest Model Supply also traded from the same K & SEngineering address in Chicago or it may have been the other way around; the common dominator was a gentleman called Wallace (Wally) M Simmers who was the ‘S’ in K & SEngineering, a company that he founded in 1946 and Simmers was also the principal at Midwest Model Supply at that time.
During the sixties decade this was the location of Midwest Model Supply and K & S Engineering, 7541 South Halsted Street, Chicago, Illinois
