i know, i grew up with guy, but he is a great promoter of karting. started racing at 12 yrs and has been local in akron ohio-forever. back in the late 70's early 80's, he promoted the highly successful 'Kindom of Outlaw' series with major sponsorship including American Power Sports(i still call them wiseco piston). a long time member of Akron Karting Club, when racing came to a halt at columbiana(oh), he was the individual to bring karting to barberton(suburb of akron) speedway were it still flourishes today. he recently retired in june 08 after 31 years at general motors. even though he likes to golf(???) and i know his wife would like more time with him and he will, his success(including WKA events) speaks for itself. his addition in Vintage Go Kart Racing will be greatly appreciated.
