You should try smoking one sometime or at least roasting one in the oven. 225 for 12-16 hours till 195-205 internal temp. With easy inserting of a temp prob = tender.

My life will be complete when I cook the perfect Brisket
My son had a Hugh school friend whose father raced a vw powered racer that looked like an Indy car. He wrecked it and it killed him.
I was a ER doctor in Graham for several years. I took care of a kid that flipped his go-kart in his front yard. The engine struck him on the back of his head. The ceramic part of the spark plug stuck into his head and broke off. He was bleeding profusely. I gave him blood and stabilized him. I sent him to Childrens in Ft Worth via Careflight. The spark plug was in the venous sinus between the two hemispheres. The Neuro surgeon removed the plug and repaired the venous sinus and the kid was later discharged with ZERO brain damage. The kid and his mom visited me a few weeks later. I nick named him sparky and it stuck.
If he had been hit in the neck it would have paralyzed or killed him.
I also have an old Western Auto 5 hp two seater go kart that I bought new in 1979. I took off the governor and it ran about 50 mph. About 5 years ago I rebuilt it and had the frame powder coated. And I put a 6.5 hp Harbor Freight motor on it. It is pretty fast. I'm waiting for my grandson to reach 10 before I put him on it . I will turn the speed back to 25-30 mph before he gets it. He can take it home. The Sharp mini car will stay with me. There is a huge church parking lot and a high school that he can drive in on week ends

Not Nice
As a kid I built a "go kart" it was a 2 x 12 board with a 3.5 horizontal shaft rotatory lawnmower motor. Steering was done by feet and rope on a 2x4 with wheels. The Rear drive wheel had a pulley I bolted on it. It was V belt driven. No clutch we pushed it to start it. A wooden lever could be pulled it dragged the ground and lifted the drive wheel off the ground that was our braking. We had a GREAT time with it.

We're too lawsuit addicted these days. Kids could do a lot more back then. I hardly see kids playing outside any more, much less banging themselves up from using tools, experimenting with IC motors, bikes, etc. Sure, some still do, but it's a lot more expensive now, even buying stuff at Harbor Freight or off the internet is out of range for many these days. We were a much more affluent country back then. 1950's and 1960's. But, thzt was also harmful in many ways as well.
I haven't heard Western Auto in long time; great store. I learned to drive a car on a big store parking lot back when they had Sunday Blue Laws and they were empty all day. By 11 my Dad would let me drive from Irving to Abilene, on old Hwy 80; then interstate wasn't built until I was out of high school.
We drove our karts and tested our midgets on the streets and in the parking lots as well. One store let the local club set up a little track on theirs on Sunday in the summers. The police were pretty lenient with that stuff back then.
