IndyCar Series veteran Jimmy Kite has found a unique way to combine his passions - racing and the hobby industry - while working to continue his driving career. source: paddocktalk.com The five-time Indianapolis 500 starter recently opened JK Hobby World in Farmington, Mo., where he lives during the racing season. "I'm definitely not done racing but without a full-time IndyCar (Series) or NASCAR deal right now, I decided to look a little bit towards my future," Kite said. "Opening the store made perfect sense. It is a great way to combine things I really like and leaves me open to pursue rides." Kite's store carries models, games, train and slot car sets as well as an extensive list of radio controlled cars, planes, tools and supplies. He also offers customers a chance to win tickets and pit passes to every IndyCar Series race in 2007, including the 91st Running of the Indianapolis 500. "It is great to have friends in high places," Kite said. "We wanted to set ourselves apart. Every time you buy from us, you'll be entered to win two tickets, including cold passes into the garage area, for every IndyCar (Series) race next year. You could even win two tickets and suite passes to the three biggest racing events in the world at Indianapolis. You won't find that offer anywhere else in the world."
