Bud Bennett
Bud started out Snowmobile Racing on the grass in 1968/69 Driving Rupp Snowmobiles for Dell Stone of Stones Sport & Marine. Two stroke knowledge from Go Kart Racing gave Bud an advantage in getting the most power from the engines.
Through the years of 1969 through 1973/74 Bud raced Rupp’s with full factory backing. Those sleds included Yankee, Nitros and M8 Gaurs. He built one of the first front engine sleds using the 5R Engine, with Bob Nemicheck, Jim Thornton, Gene Brown, Michigan Cal Ackley and Lyle Forsgree. From 400-800 CC Engines with two, three and four cylinders. Bud raced the Polaris TX399 in several Cross Country events including Grand Island.

Bud moved on to racing Stock cars on the dirt track in Mt Clemens, Auto City two nights a week and then raced at Clarkes, winning the Michigan Auto Racing Rookie of the Year. He won five Short Track Races the first year including traveling to Sedalia Missouri and winning the Missouri State Fair IMSA 100 Lap Race breaking the Track record of 1 ¾ seconds.
