The history Holtzlander Racing

 

 

Holtzlander racing all started back in the early 60's when Dennis Holtzlander Sr began racing at the Speedrome in Comstock Park. As the years passed he raced at tracks From Berlin Raceway to South Bend in cars from hobby stock's to late model's. Then in the late 70's early 80's he took some time off to spend it with his family. When his kids were starting their own new adventures life brought them, Dennis began thinking about racing again. Then in 1989 Dennis and his wife Gloria bought a street stock from a family friend and raced it the last few nights at Berlin with the help of 2 son's Denny Jr and Darrell.

 

That following year Dennis wanted to take a new racecar out to Berlin, so thru the winter months Denny Jr and Darrell helped build a new car. 

 

Dennis Sr continued to race thru the 90's having fun in the sportsman division winning several B features and finishing as high as 3rd in the sportsman b division standings, towards the later part of the 90's he began racing in the Super Stock division at Berlin Raceway. All thru the 90's Dennis raced at Crystal Motor Speedway (Dealer's Choice) and Kalamazoo Speedway (Super Shoe National's picking up 3 heat wins)

 

Now the time has come to let the grandkids race.

 

So Dennis started searching for a division for the Grandkids to race in, while attending the races at Crystal Motor Speedway he found an excellent beginner division for the grandkids along with Darrell and himself to race in, the 4 cylinder division. Only front wheel drive and 2500cc motors and the car must remain stock. So far this has been a very enjoyable adventure. We would recommend this type of car for anyone interested in racing that doesn't want to spend thousand's of dollars.
