Keith Kauffman

I have been going to the Port Royal races for nearly 64 years. Back in the day, for a price, a driver would take you a couple laps around the track in a two-seater race car. I was fortunate enough to be able to ride with my favorite driver, Keith Kauffman from Mifflintown.

Keith was well known in the racing circuit, winning numerous races. I became friends with Keith and enjoyed cheering him on every week. He was always kind to his fans and would take the time to chat with them. He also would pose for a picture anytime he was asked.
