Kevin Wicke - Owner / Driver Age : 44 Occupation : Owner of K&K Racing & Performance Family : 3 children - Kody, Kassi and Kayden Nickname : "Elvis"

Kevin has been racing since 1978 and has enjoyed success at every level. His first car was a Barracuda that seen some time on the street and the track. Once he got the racing bug that car was quickly converted to a race car. That 67' Cuda went through a few updates and different engines and ran as quick as 10.80's. In 1988 he began to complete the partially built 81' Plymouth Arrow that was know as "PAPPY'S TOY". The Arrow was campaigned for a number of years and recorded a best ET of 7.87. Knowing that was too fast for the chassis plans were made to get a new car. In 1987 Kevin drove a 69' Camaro owned by Ron Anderson and recorded times in the high 7 second zone. Then in 1998 he purchased the 92' LeBaron he currently competes with. This car has proven to be a reliable and consistent race car since day one. With a 542 B1 Mopar assisted by a 2 stage NOS system the car has ran a career best of 7.23 @ 190 mph. With this car Kevin captured 2 Canadian Top Sportsman titles (1999 & 2001) and won numerous Q16 events. Although his dream would be to race in IHRA Prostock he will drive the LeBaron in IHRA Top Sportsman competition. Kevin enjoys the time spent at the track and is always willing to talk with other racers and fans to answer any questions they have.

As owner of K&K Racing & Performance racing takes up much of his time but when not at work or the track he loves spending time with his 3 children. Often 1 or all are at the track throughout the summer helping out where they can. During the off season Kevin spends as much time at the rink as he does at the track in the summer. With both Kody and Kayden playing on travel teams and daughter Kassi taking figure skating many miles are put on getting them to games and practices.

Kevin Zimmer - Crew Chief & Marketing Age : 34 Occupation : JS Wild Trailer Sales/ Grand Bend Motorplex Nickname : "Zimmy" or "Junior"

Kevin Zimmer has been involved with racing since he was 14 years old and has developed a true passion for the sport. He first began helping his brother and father race a 75' Vega, then campaigned that car with his dad for a number of years and helped brother Doug build a new car. Taking the odd turn behind the wheel of the Vega Kevin recorded times in the mid 10 second range. It was about that time when he began to help Kevin Wicke with his Plymouth Arrow. At first helping out was just a way to get to the track when dad wasn't going but the partnership just grew from there. Now, when it comes to the race car there is not much that get decided by just one person. Kevin also has taken over the marketing of the race team as well as K&K Racing & Performance. With some education in marketing and a true love for the business side of racing Kevin looks after gaining marketing partners for the race team and ensuring they get a return on their investment. He also works as an account representative for Grand Bend Motorplex handling sponsor accounts. Racing has become a full-time volunteer job and he can usually be found working on the car or findings new ways to market the team. One of the things he finds most enjoyable about the sport is the people. Drag Racers and fans are a special kind of people and are very interesting and fun to be around. Many friendship have been developed at the track and the people make it worth going.

There is not much else that gets the blood flowing like racing except hockey. As a true Canadian, hockey is his other passion. In the winter months he plays as many as 3 times a week and if not for racing in the summer would probably play summer hockey on weekends. A true Maple Leaf fans Kevin hopes to be able to enjoy a Stanley Cup at least once in his lifetime.
