building quality racing chassis since 1994
(Click on the thumbnail for a full-sized image of the Vector)
In 1994, CRE debuted their own kart racing chassis designed specifically for dirt oval track racing. The chassis went through nearly two years of extensive R&D prototype work until Brian was convinced that they had "the best chassis going." With Brian's background in engineering and math - a logical name for the new chassis was "Vector". In 1998, the Vector AO( asphalt oval) model was introduced to accommodate demands of racers in the southeast portion of our country, where red clay or tracks that take rubber require a lower center-of-gravity and roll center, so as not to overheat right side tires. The Vector AO also uses a redesigned steering geometry utilizing outside spindles which promote a lower scrub radius. The original Vector "DO" with adjustable caster and wedge is still hard to beat on the midwest (organic) dirt tracks.
Both models have been a huge success with feature wins nearly nationwide.
Vector karts and components are TIG welded by certified welders utilizing
the finest Lincoln Electric Welding Equipment.
Vector Manufacturing also offers chromemoly tubing available in most popular sizes.
