To All
My name is Rob Loof, owner and operator of Rob Loof Motorsports LLC, and driver of the #16, and #17 go-karts.
First I would like to give you a glimpse of the past of my racing career; I started racing go-kart in 2003 at Meadowview Kartway in the Animal Medium division. To say that the beginning was humbling would be an understatement. In ’03 I blew 6 engines and had 0 top fives. In 2004 I won my first heat race and finished 6th in points. In 2005 I won 2 more heat races and finished 2nd in the first half points and 3rd in the second half points.
In 2007 I started out a little slow and thanks to some misfortune of a fellow racer I inherited the points lead in the 3rd week of the season, to never relinquish the lead, however not with out problems, but after doing a test at the track in July we had found the set-up to run fast and consistent, I went on to claim 5 feature wins including 4 straight and 3 clean sweeps and won the championship by over 500 points, I also ran my first Burris Circle Tour race which is ran on asphalt unlike the weekly shows which are ran on dirt I won this particular race which was at Slinger Super Speedway.
The current plans for 2008 include the beginning of a new generation of Loof’s racing which happens to be my son Bryce.
Bryce is 4 years old and will turn 5 in July which is the mandated age to start racing kid karts. Bryce will be racing weekly at Meadowview Kartway starting in July.
Also planned for 2008 is the addition of 23 asphalt races to the schedule of 22 races at Meadowview Kartway. These races will be ran at (12) USA International in Shawano, and 11 races for the Burris Circle Tour 4 at Slinger, 4 at Rockford, 2 at Durand Illinois, 2 at Milwaukee Mile, and others yet to be determined. In addition to all these races we will be testing a planned 20 times at Meadowview Kartway to get Bryce seat time and to allow my brother Jake to get time in my #17 kart at the track as he will be practicing this kart on Saturday nights that conflict with the Burris Circle Tour.
