"I enjoy spending some one on one time with customers, and I take a little of Clay Center, Kansas with me when I go to meet the teams. All of the teams know I am from a small town in Kansas, and Clay Center gets some much deserved recognition during the Great Race. And for Fifth Avenue … when your teams wins the race and collects the $50,000 in prize money … that is proof that you did your job well. That makes the rest of the world sit up and takes notice!"

The Great Race is a national vintage car rally race for street legal vintage cars. Beginning June 24th and ending 14 days later on July 8th, it will run approximately 4,100 miles across the United States, beginning in Philadelphia, Pa., and ending in San Rafael, Calif.
When we heard that in Switzerland the 1907 Peking-to-Paris Rally, the world's first intercontinental motor challenge was to be organized in 2007, we immediately decided to participate.
"I sought Randy out based on his reputation for knowing how to prepare antique cars for a rally like this. The word among the antique car rally people is that Randy knows what he is doing and the specialty parts he builds for these cars will exceed your expectations."
The Great Race team of Howard and Douglas Sharp of Fairport New York won the 2011 Great Race driving a 1916 Hudson Pikes Peak Hill Climb car!
The 2015 Great Race started on June 20th in Kirkwood, Missouri (St. Louis) and traveled down oldRoute 66 highway arriving nine days later at the pier in Santa Monica, California.
