A few hours ago I was driving on BV at 33 mph and a golf cart on the MMP passed me. Not a LSV, no tags, just what appeared to be a standard Yamaha cart. I caught up and paced this "golf cart" at 39 mph!!!!. I didn't know it was even possible to modify it to go that fast--turbo charged??? jet fuel????redesigned transmission??? Modified engine????? There were 2 kids about 5-7 years old in the front seat with grampa. I'm no mechanical engineer, but I'm sure the structure/chassis of these carts are not built for that speed, they cannot handle all that well at 39, and the injury potential has to be huge. What are some people thinking????
