different types of motorsports. It all began with the birth of James
Krider who was rumored to have been conceived in the back seat of
a Ford. His birthday, March 8th, (3/8) is where the Krider Racing car
number, #38, originated from. James Krider survived racing circle
tracks long enough to have three sons, Jim, Mark, and Chris. James
Krider often times during a race used the roof of his car for wheels.
His boys obviously grew up in an automotive environment. As kids,
the boys raced everything from slot cars, Pinewood Derby, to Soap
Box Derby. When the boys became old enough to drive they drag
raced, autocrossed and entered rallyes. In a world where many
racers focus on one type of motorsport, the Kriders enjoyed
competing in all types of motorsports.
Jim Krider road raced and competed in go-carts. He had two sons,
Rob and Randy. Rob and Randy also grew up in an automotive
themed household racing anything they could get their hands on as
kids from R.C. cars to bicycles. As they got to the driving age they
also graduated to drag racing, autocrossing and rallyes. Jim and
Rob competed as a father and son team in the 2004 Silver State
Classic.
Rob's children, Gus and Addy, compete in Soap Box Derby. The
Krider multi-series racing tradition continues from generation to
generation. If it has wheels on it, the Kriders are probably there,
racing the wheels right off it. All Krider Racing cars have been hand
built and/or tweaked and modified by the Kriders in the Krider
Racing Speed Shop. The Krider Racing Speed Shop sounds
impressive but it only consists of a two car garage filled to the brim
with old car parts and a set of Costco sockets.
The Krider family is by no means the same as the Andretti family,
the Kriders are taller. The Kriders are not like the Pettys either,
because unlike the Petty Family, each generation of Kriders have
been winners. The Kriders just enjoy racing, even if it is bench
racing. And some days when the tires are worn down to the cords,
and the money is gone, there is a lot of bench racing going on in the
garage.
