Dave
Dave was the one who ignited our most recent passion for racing. He went to a company event at F1 Boston (an indoor kart racing facility). He convinced me (not hard) to try it out. We ended up racing in the indoor winter league that year.
The next year we raced in the associated outdoor league at F1 Outdoors. We enjoyed that so much that we decide to buy our own karts and race in the NHKA series as well as the series run at F1 Outdoors for private owners.
