I am not sure what he is doing now but fomer NASCAR driver Lake Speed was a proper World Karting Cchampion.
He was one of a group of Americans who achieved World Champion status in the seventies but were largely ignored at home. Mario Andretii F1 Champ and Kenny Roberts (Snr) in 500 cc Grand Prix Bikes.
From memory I think Lake Speed had an easy time of it. Only had people like a Brazillian called Senna to beat!
