season. One to run the Goody's Dash series
and two to also represent Margay Karts and
the Dunlop Tire Corporation as a Factory
Driver in the WKA (World Karting) Pro Kart

In the weekend events at the Pennsylvania speedway, the former Pennsylvania

the WKA Tomar Nationals with his Margay/Dunlop Kart #3. Gafrarar followed
that with an outside pole qualifying position in the Super Controlled
Division. The feature was a sheer second place finish for Chuck who
holds the point lead in the series! Also, in the events Sunday Gafrarar
was part of a two-man team who represented WKA in the Celebrity Challenge
race on the 8/10th mile road course. Gafrarar and Travis Firing, NC,
were "Team WKA" racing Kart # 5 in the event. Firing started
off the event for the first 15 minutes, came in for a 30 second driver
switch and go with Gafrarar taking the seat and brought the team across
the checkered in second place for the team! All the karting events
were run European style around the speedway making the Wilson Circuit

Besides donations collected from WKA participants, Gafrarar also presented
a check from his business to Karen Sue Owens, President and CEO of
Lifesteps, Inc. Gafrarar stated
"it was great to be
part of the WKA Team and help raise extra funds for such a caring facility.
I just wanted to do a bit more as I learned all they do for children
and adults with a disability, along with personal care for challenged
and the elderly. Lifesteps is a great organization."

Icehouse, I. H. Caffey, Inc., RWI Sports Marketing, INC., Mobil 1,
MeadWestvaco and Long Shifters across the finish line. People interested
