Art Ingels (sometimes misspelled as Ingles) is known as 'the father of karting'.
In 1956, while he was a race car builder at Kurtis Kraft, a famous builder of Indy race cars during the 1950s, he assembled the first go kart out of scrap metal and a surplus West Bend Company two-stroke cycle engine. He tested it in the Rose Bowl parking lot.
