Kevin Janders
“Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.” – Steve McQueen
Driving Background:
Kevin was racing before he was shaving – after participating in a shifter kart race (a shifter cart has the power-to-weight ratio of a Porsche Turbo Carrera), his dad got him his first kart. He was 12.
A Gig Harbor native, Kevin raced karts all around the USA and moved up to cars as soon as he was legally allowed to. His advice to students: “You must use all the track!”
