The Great Go Cart Race

The summer of 1969 in Glennville New York had settled in full tilt. The July morning was cool and peaceful, but the afternoon promised nothing but sticky heat. Bobby Weston and Moon Calloway worked furiously on the go-cart they had been planning to race down Sinton Park hill, in the old garage behind Bobby's house.

Both boys had grown up in Glennville. Bobby on upper Fig, Moon on lower Fig. And even though they had gone to the same schools and grown up just a block apart, they had only recently become friends. The Go-cart was a project they had devoted the last two weeks to, and it looked as though today would finally see it finished.

A short story that goes back to a time when life was simpler. This short story is set in the fictitious city of Glennville where the Earth's Survivors Settlement Earth series is set. It introduces Bobby and Moon who play a part in the Earth's Survivors Settlement Earth series in books four and five. This short story closely follows a real incident from my own youth...
