On September 27, 2007 a tragic accident occurred in the Slinger/Allenton community. Parker Klumb (13) and two of his friends were riding their bicycles to the local gas station for refreshments after a school project. They were struck by a from behind on a local country road by a motor vehicle. The driver immeditely fled the scene. Tragically, Parker lost his life that day in the arms of his best friend. His friends and family knew that Parker had an unfulfilled dream; to build a go-kart and race it with his friends.

Fulfilling his dream was the inspiration that founded Memorial Go-Kart, Inc.
Honoring his memory further inspired our annual Tribute Event.
