Kryderacing

Kryderacing has been involved at the Run-Offs many times in the past. Reed ran a C-Production class Datsun 280ZX at the Road Atlanta edition over twenty-five years ago. He returned in 2003 driving David Pintaric's T-1 class Corvette. The last few years we have been in attendance more in a trackside support capacity than driving. Usually with two to... four competitors. That support ranges from "total" to "assistance when needed". This year we really extended ourselves with seven entries using our services. The Kryderacing support team consisted of Reed and Sandi Kryder, Matt Miller, and Matt Carson. There were others who always seemed to be around when additional help was needed. Reed spent hours observing from different points around the Mid-Ohio track and provided coaching assistance to the drivers. Sandi did much of the logistics work and provided fantastic meals for everyone. Matt Miller not only had to organize his and Matt Carson's work assignments, but he also was a competitor and needed to keep his own entry running. Matt Carson seemed to be everywhere doing whatever was necessary. We were a small team but everything got done. The preparation back at the shop had a lot to do with there being no big problems during the week of the RunOffs. This was the 12th consecutive running of the RunOffs at Mid-Ohio. In 2006 the championships move to Heartland Park in Topeka. Everyone wanted to do their best at Mid-Ohio since it is close to home for Kryderacing and our clients.
