About Me

Todd Giles
Hi I am Todd Giles. This purpose of this blog is to document the restoration of my father's Red Devil enduro racing kart. He ran it in the early 1970s. When this blog started I lived in northeast Indiana, but enjoyed traveling to Indianapolis. I am a graphic designer and love to work with paper, image and type. My wife and I live in just north of Danville, Virginia... just minutes from VIRginia International Raceway. I am a humble believer in Jesus Christ and hope you know Him, too.
