most famous person I’ve met; I question whether he was the most famous or the most infamous, but it was King Farouk of Egypt. We raced in a world championship Go Kart race held at the Rupp Raceway at Mansfield, Ohio.
Rupp raceway was the most elaborate Kart raceway in the world at the time.
King Farouk was much better at blathering, and squandering Egypt’s wealth, than he was at racing. I don’t recall if he finished a race. I wasn’t on the winner’s podium, but finished fourth overall, and I take great pride in that finishing position, more so, than any of my many wins in my several years of Go Kart racing. Furthermore, I've met many famous people but, King Farouk tops the list
