More Stuff About Ken Snyder

Favorite Sport: Auto Racing. It's easy to be into auto racing when you have a couple of race cars in the backyard sitting around. Believe it or not, I plan to have them all running some day. You can check them out here.

Other Sports? I don't have the time to follow games much. The cars keep me pretty busy.

So, What Else Do You Like? I enjoy music, both playing and listening. I enjoy eating - too much, sometimes. It's easy to eat too much when your wife's a good cook! I also enjoy building scale models of cars, aircraft, trains and buildings. And right now, I'm spending a LOT of time doing home renovation, since I bought the house I grew up in here in Kansas City, Kansas -- pictures of that adventure later!  But the thing I enjoy the most is spending time with my son Kenny Wayne and my wife Chelsea.

Favorites:
Car:  1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SX.  Second car I ever owned, and still have it.  260,000 miles on the odometer and it looks like it.........
Food:  Taco Salad -- often to excess............
Music:  The Rainmakers and Webb Wilder, their links are on my favorite links page.
Movie:  "Top Gun", followed closely by "A Few Good Men", "Full Metal Jacket", and "The Right Stuff".
Guitar:  Fender Stratocaster, bought it new in California in 1983.  Wish I got to play it more often...........
Race Tracks:  Heartland Park Topeka, Lakeside Speedway, I-70 Speedway, and the Kansas Speedway.  Stop by their web sites to learn more!

OK, OK, Details: I was born in December 1961, the first of Calvin and Sue Snyder's two kids. Attended schools here in Kansas City, Kansas, graduating from Wyandotte High School in 1980. Enlisted in the Marine Corps in August 1980, stationed in San Diego, CA; Memphis, TN; El Toro, CA and 29 Palms, CA. Started my active involvement in auto racing with some weekends spent around Dave and Karen Smith's Precisioned Speed during my time in the Marines, which I'm sure benefitted me more than Dave. Began my career in commercial aviation in 1986, and have been there ever since. My son was born in June of 1988. I resumed my involvement in auto racing with Mike Scrutchfield's stock car team in 1990, learning the ins and outs of stock car racing from Mike. Started my own racing team and racing-related business in 1991, and began competition in 1992. The rest of that story is on my race team pages. Married Chelsea in 1996.

And the saga continues. If you want to know more, you'll have to E-Mail me and ask!
