FULL-THROTTLE TEAMWORK ON LIFE’S RACETRACK

Chicago, Illinois — An Episcopal Priest, psychologist and grandfather from Wilmette (IL) recently experience karting firsthand with his son and grandson at the South Bend kart track and wrote a lengthy article about his encounter with the sport.

In an article titled, “Full-throttle Teamwork on Life’s Racetrack”, published on Sunday July 31 in the Chicago Tribune’s “Perspective” section, author R. Cotton Fite related how his son, David and grandson, Will worked together with a goal and how competitors on the track were anything but, off the track.  It is an outstanding article that can teach those outside the sport about the bond that grows between kids and their parents while at the kart track.  Most of us in the sport understand this phenomenon, but those unfamiliar with the sport can only imagine. 

It’s a great article and well worth the time to read.  A direct link to the story is below:
