Not sure if it's true but I heard he doesn't want or like to talk about the mini bikes....

I heard from guys who know him that he doesn't like crowds. From what I heard that he was never happy with how he was forced into the sale of the company and what happen to it when the Mr gasket company took it over he only worked for them 2 weeks and left the company after the sale. I would quess if he showed up at one of the events he be asked a million questions about the Rupp products in general. Last I knew he had moved back from Florida to the Mansfeild, Ohio area Is what i heard a couples of years ago.

I just introduced ourselves to him and thanked him for his contributions to the motor sports field.

Nice guy and his karts were some of the best I have ever seen .
