These are pictures of my past (looking for a very recent one to scan)...  What I have scanned so far is from when I kart raced, and the ones here are from VERY early in my career.  I was a wee little boy. Just click on the image name to view the picture.

Trailer.gif - (72k) Me standing by the kart trailer. I was 8 or 9.

Haybails.gif - (45k) I am on the far left in the black suit, my uncle is next to me and the other two kids were on my driving team (Leading Edge Motorsports).

Trophy.gif - (80k) Victory is sweet.  I am holding a 1st place trophy, the same one that keeps my door open.  Trophies are good door stoppers.  LOL  I have a sticker in my right hand, it's a flag that says IKF win.  International Kart Federation.  Winning those races are big deals, you beat some of the best racers in the world.  I recieved many IKF wins.

My Mom, Uncle, and his wife - (104k) My mom is on the right, my aunt is in the middle and my uncle is on the left in the drivers suit.  All drivers had their top part of the suit hanging down after a race.  The suits, usually fireproof, were VERY hot, especially being black.

Grid.gif - (125k) We are sitting on the grid, I am #91.   I sit on off pole.  I won that race with easy.  It was the brigs and stratton class (slowest class I ever raced).  I was in that class for only a little time.  It was too slow and easy for me. 

Corner.gif - (107k) I am #91, in the front.  We are heading into turn 1 at Riverside.  This race I won. The guy right behind me stayed with me, we left the rest of the field.  Competetion is always high in kart racing and their is always bumping.  Bumping is of course racing.  I have NEVER been taken out by anyone else.

Chris.jpg - (27k) - This is the picture of me I promised.  I am in my suit.

That's all I have scanned right now.  When I get more pictures I like I will scan them.  A lot of my kart stuff is on video, so if I get a video capture card, I will post pictures forever.  Kart racing was in my opinion the best time of my life. I had so much fun.  I had to stop due to money constraints.  We spent about $500,000 for racing 5 years....  It costs a LOT of money.
