My hunt for a stadium lite started when I stumbled across Brooks Craigslist ad. Brooks had posted an ad for a KX60 and in the background of his ad was his EEE car. If you haven’t seen pictures of this car you need to it is awesome. I ended up sending Brooks a couple of e-mails asking if would be interested in selling his go-cart. And for the record I had no idea it was Brooks from the forum. When Brooks replied he knew too much. There went the hopes of me getting it for cheap but whatever Brooks is the man. After Brooks declined to sell me his EEE car he tells me that KingKx has a Briggs car that might be for sale. KingKx another stand up guy, was interested in selling his car. Now I’m salivating at the mouth trying to get my hands on a stadium lite. The only question I had was what is something like this worth? So I turned to the internet. Yellow dog racing, race-dezert , minibuggy and of course Hoser great site all had info on these cars but no current value. So I sent out e-mail to anybody and everybody that had posted something on the Biggs built cars. Not knowing if I would ever receive a response because so many of the post were dated 2007. I ended receiving an e-mail from someone on race desert who ended up giving me contact # for some one that had a Biggs built Gen 3 car for sale. Following that lead I made the call and sure enough he had a Gen 3 car for sale. The only problem was he was located in California and I’m in Arizona. I have never seen a Briggs car in person so committing to purchase the car after only seeing pictures was tough. And that’s when it happened, the seller informed me that there was a briggs built owner located in Arizona. Todd Wittman the man him self lived in AZ. And now the hunt for Todd Wittman started. Everyone knows Todd but nobody knows how to get in contact with him. So I sent emails to everybody hoping for success. Hoser to the rescue, Hoser sends me an email that contained Todd phone # the rest is history. Thanks again Hoser for making me the proud new owner of this Briggs built gen 4 car that has been extremely well cared for. And thank you Todd for parting with this amazing machine. Turbo, Rusty, Nick, Brooks, Mark, Jake and the New Mexico crew lets ride.
