My passion for karting started at the age of nine. I was invited by a friend of mine to join his birthday party at our local indoor karting track in Eindhoven. The sencation of driving around the track with speed (still not very fast) got me  hooked and wanting more.

My mother and father took me back to the indoor track and passion was born. For my 10th Birthday they gave me a short introduction course of 2 Saturday morning karting in March 2022 at the circuit of Genk in Belgium. 

After the training days I particpated in the Club House race at Karting Genk for kids. During the first year but I wanted to become faster. To achieve this I joined Den Hartog Racing to train in Tilburg.  

On a rainy day (when football practice was cancelled) I went to Hezemans in Eindhoven and heard that also training was provided at this location by C-Point racing. After an assesment I joint the training in August 2022. Read for the next step.

When Conner started to develop his intrest in karting we started off with a few visits to our local indoor track. On Sunday mornings they organize special kids morning in which the younger children can experience karting at a slower speed to enable them to enjoy this activity at a safe level. After a few times he wanted more...

My wife and I always try to support our children in their adventures as much as we can. I always try to no be the parent on the side but offer my help to the clubs and people that organize it. When my sosn started soccer at a yound age I took on the role of trainer for both my sons. With Conner's drive and passion for the karting a new door opened for me into the world of racing. 

After going with Conner to the training and Club House races in Genk (in the role of driver / supporter) he asked for more and the search for additional training we found it after a side step to Tilburg in our own home town Eindhoven at C-point racing and Hezemans Indoor karting. 

Here the foundations for Conner's "hobby" became more solid and with in the next months I was promoted from supporting and driving dad to kart mechanic.

The start of my journey. I will keep a blog on this web site about our Journey.
