Visiting with Pennsylvanian Sprintcar legend Keith Kauffman and his lovely wife Kathy as I try to find out why he doesn’t have a sign that says “The home of Keith Kauffman” as you enter his home town of Mifflintown PA.
Thank you thank you for a wonderful interview & history Lesson Keith is the #1 reason I've wanted to visit Pa. And it's tracks. I sat with Warren Johnson at Butler , then We chatted every time we'd see each other at tracks I got to meet Keith a couple times. He was so consistent & always a gentleman with the fans I'm going to watch this again--& you did a wonderful respectful heart felt interview.....I just hit the subscribe button. So glad you did this post.
A long time ago, I watched Keith come down the front stretch of Port Royal racetrack. The pits were still inside of the racetrack at that time. His car went towards the pits and hit the inside wall. Keith and his car started doing barrel rolls. The car went into 4 pieces. The front axel. The engine, the wing and the rest of the car. It all landed in pieces by the number 1 turn. We all thought the worst. I still remember that wreck to this day. Keith got out of the roll cage and walked down the front stretch to a grateful cheering crowd. It took the tow truck and 2 pick ups to bring his car back to the pits. Always a fan of Keith's, Stevie Smith and Lance Dewease. Ok Steve Kinser too.
Love this interview! I owned, drove, and won my first 410 track championship in the last Hardees 880 Keith drove for Roy Morral. When I got it, his name was still on it. My first car. Best time of my life.
Great to see you and Kathy on your post . I’m still sucking air out here in Calif. Janet past in 2021. Hope to see you guys someday. Happy New Year. Don Berry
Love this video! What's an odd coincidence is, that it's 33 minutes, 48 seconds long. K33 was one of Keith's cars, and Keith also drove the Coors Gold 48 car
I met Keith and Kathy at Port Royal at his very last race. My daughter and I were leaving and she wanted a shirt. We went to a stand and she got a shirt and a signed picture from Keith. Great people.
