About Me:
My name is Jack Murray. I grew up in Skokie, Illinois. Skokie was home to Max Torque Clutches, where I later worked part time. I first got involved in Kart Racing in 1961 after purchasing a new Evans Flyweight from Don Surwall, Max Torque’s Famed Driver. I fitted the Evans with a new West Bend 580 V5. 2 years later I sold the Evans and purchased a new Rupp A-Bone with a Mc7. I ran the Rupp Kart for 3 years and sold it when I had to get a real job. I got back into Kart racing in the late 70’s and have been racing and wrenching ever since.
Needless to say I have become obsessed with Vintage Karts. My goal is to have Vintage Racing Karts recognized, and co-exist within the Collector Car Realm. I also want to establish a National Judging and Certification program that would make it easy for Collectors across the country to participate in. I now reside in San Diego, California. To show my support for Vintage Karting, I now attend almost all of the Vintage Kart races accross the country.
