DRIVER PROFILE FOR ED MAYNES (2004-07)
Ed Maynes with the Maynes #43 on 2006/09/23 - Photo by Gene Galletta, Remastered by Chris Stevens.
Name: Ed Maynes
Nicknames: Fast-Eddie, Crazy Eddie
Karts: Head man of Team Maynes (several karts in his stable).
Years Racing Go-karts at Galletta's: 2004-2007.
Ed and his sons retired during the 2007 season and sold all the karts in his stable.
One of the fastest drivers to collect a win in Galletta's Go-Kart history.
Several career wins at
Galletta's. Still leads in visitor
wins
years after his self-imposed retirement.
Fast and a
hard-charger, Ed is always a Feature &
Klassic contender (if he stays for the finish, that is.
Perhaps his biggest weakness is getting frustrated after a wreck
or spin).
Dominated the
early-going of the
2004
Galletta's Klassic 130, lapping several competitors during
the first 20 laps, but he raced so hard during the first half of
the 130-Lap event that he broke while leading comfortably and
could not recover in time, only finishing 4th.
One win at Oswego
Speedway Dirt Track's Gas Stock Karting Division in 2006. He,
like many others, refused to go back to the Oswego Kartway after
track operators allowed some drivers to use larger (and even
race-modified) OHV motors, intentionally wreck then not go to
the back after a wreck, and even fight with people just because
they were "buddies" with the operators. This may have,
unfortunately, taken Ed's heart out of racing anywhere, as he
cut down his racing after this.
Always fast and competitive, but
would often take weeks off for unknown reasons, therefore taking himself out of points title contention,
as he would be at or near the top if he did not do this. Again,
he retired in 2007 despite the fact that he is always fast and
always a threat to win any race he enters.
Ed Maynes only ran 2 races in 2007
despite racing for much of the 2004-2006 seasons and compiling
several wins and a lot of top-5 finishes. However, he got collected in a small mishap during the 2nd heat here and retired for the year. He then sold this kart. Everyone at Galletta's wants him and his team to race a full-time basis and hopes he returns.
