building quality racing chassis since 1994
(Click on the thumbnail for a full-sized image of the Vector DO)
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 high grip 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. In 2005, Vector introduced the all new AO2 model, which incorporated the best of current design technology along with Brian's own input to create an innovative new design for use specifically on high grip racing surfaces and the latest technology in cut and prepped tires.
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.
