Click on the last link to see "Severson" in the white #11 sprint car running the semi main,

in the USAC/CRA sprint car race at Ventura, Ca. The white car says "Carpet Coop" on

the side. He may have been running a 360 against the 410's.

thats pretty good, 76 years old and still sliding it in pretty hard

-Austin Rankin

Yep, John is a pretty strange man. He started running 26 mile marathons, at age 55. He said

he stopped when he woke up 100 yard from the finish line. He was passed out for 45 minutes.

He got up and finished the race..lol.

Then he is probably the only person that I know that has driven his BMW motorcyle with

wife hanging on the back from Alaska to the tip of South America. Again, he fell off

a 6 inch wide bridge, slid off the hill and managed to hang on until somebody rescued him

on the side of the mountain, only to continue the trip. Wife decided it was a good time

to let John finish the journey on his own...lol!

  John also flys open cocpit WWI airplanes, that you have to start by hand, jump in the cockpit

and fly away.

    So John is just exercising some feelings he never got to do as a kid. He started racing

sprint cars 4 years ago.
