I love him to death and I thank God for giving me such an inspiration and a person to look up to as my father.  We have our differences at times, but it will always work out, and our relationship has been greatly enhanced through this sport.  And as far as his contribution to the team, all I have to say is this:  he is the team organizer and manager, he is the number one reason that we are first class and have everything together as well as we do.

WC:  I had no idea he was 79 years old.  That is incredible he is so active at that age.  I hear you are taking on a new challenge this year which involves 2 wheels.  Could you fill us in on what you have in store?

KR:  Well for this year, since there are no National events planned, I have opened up my eyes to other opportunities.  Motorcycle road racing is something that intrigues me and is an area of motorsports that I have been putting quite a bit of thought into.  I purchased a bike back in November and I attended my first track day in January.  It may be just a hobby for now, but who knows where it will end up.  I am starting simple and just riding my street bike in the events.  I hope to get my novice license soon, and start racing by the beginning of summer.  By then, I should have a dedicated race bike and I will bring my rig to the races.  I don’t want to scare anyone there because when I experienced my first club race, the biggest rigs were motor homes pulling short enclosed trailers.  My rig will definitely stand out a bit in their crowd.
