Local Florida short track racing news update followed by three stellar example of the success of KART racing in America.
Rohn Moon
Many-time WKA National Champion, and arguably Florida's most successful oval karter in history. Rohn accomplished the impossible in 2001, capturing FOUR national titles with the highly-competitive WKA Briggs and Stratton National Dirt Series. Rohn also won many, many races at the worlds largest karting event, the annual Dirt Track World Championships at Municipal Stadium, in Daytona Beach, Florida. Simply making the "A" main was an accomplishment, and Rohn was a dominating force at the Stadium for many years in his feared black #56.
Dave Evans
Is a 65 year old resident of St. Petersburg, Florida. As a young boy in the late 50's, Dave and his father would frequent the infamous Raceway Park near Chicago, where Dave would cheer on one of the winningest drivers of all time, Bud Koehler. In 1960, Dave was just becoming interested in karting, when he happened to become the 10,000th member of the Grand Prix Kart Club of America. This earned him a new kart from Putt-Nik karting and a place on the team (expenses paid) to race in Nassau Bahamas for the international kart race! Almost 50 years later, Dave is still karting, competing in the TAG Master class with the Florida Karting Championship Series, with no plans of quitting any time soon! Dave proudly displays Bud Koehler's #77 on his kart today, as a tribute to his boyhood hero.
Darrell Legg
Florida's most "diversified" karting promoter, Darrell is unique in Florida karting, in that he is currently operating both a local karting-only facility (Hurricane Speedway in Cocoa, FL), and a series that races at an existing Stock Car track (Central Florida Oval Series). Darrell will discuss his decision to change Hurricane Speedway from pavement to dirt (he laid dirt down on top of the asphalt), share a few of the innovative activities he and wife Mindy have scheduled at their facilities, and talk about the upcoming Florida Dirt Divisional Series (FDDS) state race on July 11 at Hurricane Speedway.
