Ramon Partida

#41

Ramon Partida drives the #41 Dwarf/Mod Lite Class car.  His home track is Hawkeye Raceway but he can also be found racing his Modified at West Liberty Raceway.  He lives in West Liberty, IA.  People who help Ramon are:  Paul McIntire and Sonny Hahn (car owner).

He started racing in 1987 in the Super Stock Class at Spring Run Speedway.  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights include National Champion in 1995 in a FF500 in SCCA and in 1996 June Springs win at Road America.

The thrill of racing for Ramon is running on the edge.  His most exciting racing moment was not knowing that he won National Champion and having his Crew Chief tell him over the radio.  He's most proud of loading the car up in one piece.

Ramon's racing heroes are Mel Morris and Johnny Mallink.
