Guest: Dave Antolak
We talk to UFO USA’s Dave Antolak about his long history in the sport, starting TUF Racing back in the day, getting started racing with Alan King, Keith Bowen, Ron Lechien, Ron Tichenor and others, selling Kawasaki’s, moving into AX, why he sold the shop, how UFO is doing and more
Wish the RacerX vet series was mentioned. Dave is doing a great job keeping that going for all the Vet racers in the Midwest.
What a great interview with the legendary Dave “Daddy” Antolak. For someone who lived in Dekalb, IL during TUF. Racing’s prime, it was a real treat to hear how Dave was doing. On a personal note, I once bought a KDX 175 from him, and because I lived in an apartment at the time, he let me use the corner of his shop for several weeks free while I did the mechanical work. That’s just the kind of good guy that he is. I was sorry to see TUF. fade away, but I’m glad for him and his future.
