EDITOR’S COMMENTS BY ROLF HILL

Kudos to Jeff Brown, his crew and the New Castle

staff. The event was special this year for several

reasons, in my opinion. Besides the usual, greatly

organized and run event, Jeff did something

different. I’m sure he has a different name for it, but

I’ll refer to it as The Vintage Karting Conga Line. At

first, I was confused when Jeff was trying to describe it to me, but if

you were there, you will understand. We all lined-up on the edge of

the track and Jeff started the process by introducing himself as he

moved down the line. Everyone followed. I took a couple of

pictures to document the event, but perhaps more important were the

comments I heard as the Conga Line progressed …

“I’ve seen/heard your name, but now I can put a face to a name.” “I

always wanted to meet you.” “Oh, you’re …. Fill-in-the-blank.”

What a great idea! Nice job Jeff.

Kudos, also, to the Brodhead supporters and promoter. Sounded

like another great event. Sorry I missed it. (See p. 12).

MAY BOARD MEETING SUMMARY BY BILL BLOODWORTH SYNOPSIS: There are 353 total members, 315 full members

and 38 Associate Members. The ending April balance is

$19,339.34 which reflects revenue of $350.00 and expenses of

$3,079.69. Due to threatening weather, the Circleville event

schedule was compressed such that the demonstration and

show activities were run in a single day. The inaugural Sandy

Hook VKA event was an overall success with a combined total

of 50 karts entered into either the demonstrations or the show. Yamaha entries

were the most numerous with nine limited and five stock appearing entries. Sandy

Hook is a WKA MasterTtrack and owner Dennis Headley is adamant about

adherence to track safety rules. One participant was parked for not following

track safety procedures.

NOSTALGIA BY ROLF HILL

The President’s Cup Race was held at Upper Marlboro annually. The

track closed in 1970, but had quite a history. It was primarily an SCCA

track, and was the “playground” for such notables as • Jackie Stewart – 6/64

(Winner of 12 hour

Endurance Race)

• Roger Penske - 1967

• Carroll Shelby – 7/57

• Richard Petty – 5/59

• Carl Yarborough -

1967

• Mark Donahue – 4/67

(Winner Trans AM Series)

• Bill Scott, Owner of

Summit Point Raceway, VA

Upper Marlboro was also the home of the Competition Cart Club, and

vintage karters Ernie Shores and Rolf Hill.

SANDY HOOK RESULTS - CORRECTION BY ROLF HILL

I’m an idiot! Not only did I screw-up the heading for the Sandy Hook

Results in the Jun/Jul FIRSTURN© (thanks to Bill Bloodworth for fixing), I

used Heat One Results instead of FINAL results when I published the

Sandy Hook Results. Some of the classes did not change simply because

the Heat One results were the same as the FINAL results. Fortunately,

some readers noticed. Below are the CORRECT FINAL results as scored

by the organizers. Sorry for the mistake.

NEW CASTLE SUMMARY BY JEFF& SHERRI BROWN

Best event ever! Total registration was 140! (132 entries and 8

Practice-Only.) Weather was “toasty,” but a gentle breeze helped a

lot. Racers came from everywhere … West Coast to East Coast.

We hosted the usual appetizer social on Thursday and buffet on

Friday, which both were well attended. At the Friday gathering, we

recognized Vico (a new 12 year old who built his own kart), Steve

Welte, Don Renton and Bill Bloodworth for their superior

contributions to VKA and vintage karting.

We also inducted three great guys who have contributed

immeasurably to vintage karting into the Vintage Karting Hall of

Fame: Bud Bennet, Sonny Gerber and Kyle Adkins

(posthumously). Thanks to the Dismores and the New Castle crew.

And thanks to VKA and all who came to make the event possible.

BRODHEAD SUMMARY BY BILL McCORNACK We had great weather for the 81 entries and 8 Practice-Only karts. The

kart show had 63 vintage gems on display. We had a full day of practice

on Thursday and a full schedule, as usual, on Friday: two Heats and our

signature wine, beer and cheese tasting during the kart show, followed by

a catered dinner of pulled pork, turkey and sides. The 50/50 netted VKA

$400. The sale of new t-shirts brought in $520. I want to thank all the

help I got from Marshall Fairman, Mike, Joann and Haley Morrall, George

and Pat Sellon and Vern Bergman, and we all want to thank everyone who

came to the event.

KEN BURDEN MEMBEER MEMORY BY MIKE LOTZ

I recently talked with Ken Burden, Jr. (better known as “Cub”), and he told me

how his dad, Kenny, and Bob Jeffries (Big J) got together and some of their

experiences.

Kenny had a kart and a pair of 8.2 Power Products that he had ported. In the late

50s, he went to Findlay, OH, to race. As it turned out, Big J was there with Bobby

Myers who was driving his kart that had a pair of MC-10s. Before the race, Bobby

joked with Kenny that he would wave when he went by. The way I understand

it, Kenny pushed Bobby for four or five laps … then passed him before the

checkered flag.

When the races were over, they all went out to eat and drink some beer. Jeffries

kept asking Kenny what he did to the motors. Kenny would not tell him, but

Jeffries kept on pushing him for an answer. Finally, Big J told Kenny that if he

let him look at his motors, he would give him a kart and motors any time he

wanted. And that’s how they became a team.

In 1968, IKF asked them to go to the World Champion Race in Hong Kong. As

they were loading their stuff to ship, the people in China told them alcohol would

be furnished when they got there. To their surprise, when they got there they

This is the last kart Kenny

(The King) Burden drove.

Page 16: Aug 2017 - Weebly

VKA FIRSTURN© -16- Aug 2017 MMXVII No.5

learned the alcohol was the type used to de-ice airplanes… not methanol.

According to Cub, that’s why they ended up 2nd and 3 laps down.

When they finished the event, Cub told me his dad and Big J sold their kart and

motors to a British Prince or Duke (he couldn’t remember which). Then they used

the money to buy Mikey Allen’s Zip Kart and two BM 100s that won the race!

I remember in Barnesville Winter Nationals the following March, Kenny took the

Zip Kart out for practice. He made one lap and as he was coming down the front

straight, the brakes didn’t work. He shot off the end of the straight. They parked

the Zip Kart and pulled out a Lancer!

With a smile on his face, Cub explained the reason Kenny stopped racing was

“the long-haired kid” from Tennessee who kept winning. Kenny hated to lose.

Mike Lotz

This is the next to last

kart Kenny owned.

BRODHEAD – CONTINUED FROM P.14 BY BILL McCORNACK

The event was opened Friday by the singing of the National Anthem by

Mira from Brodhead HS on Friday and by VKA Member Matt Morgeson

on Saturday. Terry Ives from California was our special guest and

received the Longest Distance Traveled award. He also won C-Open.

(Next stop – Avon.) Terry Walters proudly displayed his coveted Master

Mechanics Trophy from 1966 IKF Nationals at Quincy … this is THE

“crowning jewel” of karting. Special Awards went to Ted Klingler for

Oldest Driver and Steve Welte for Outstanding Karter. Vern Bergman

presented a new “Bernie Cozad Award” to Jim Ryder for Excellence in

Karting. This year’s Champaign Celebration classes were B-Open and

C-Open.
