The 2006 racing season will mark the first full year of competition for Tim Gould after a 12 year Hiatus from Dirt Late Model Racing. However, Tim has over 25 years of experience in motor sports competition as an owner and driver.

Harold Gould, Tim’s father, had built, owned and maintained several competitive race cars before and after Tim was born, therefore exposing Tim to racing as a very young boy. Inherently, racing has always been and will always be a very important part of his life.

Tim Gould’s racing career started in 1975 at the age of fifteen in Limited Late Model competition - in a car he built on his own. Tim was very successful, winning ‘Rookie of the Year’ in his first season of Limited Late racing. In 1976, he moved into the Late Model division only to finish in the top five many, many times during the season and throughout the next 25 years. He has competed at more than 30 different race tracks through out the United States. Tim’s passion for the sport and sheer determination kept him digging deep throughout the years, although the proper funding had never been there.

The 1996 racing season found Tim Gould as owner and driver of a 2 Cycle Open Kart racing team. Once again he was very successful, as he took the reins and stormed the karting world, with 30 plus wins the first year undefeated in Penn, Ohio and West Virginia. Over the next four years, he racked up 50 plus checkered flag victories. Tim is track champion in the Open Division at Naugle Speedway in Pittsburgh Pa., for the 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 seasons. He is the1996 track champion at Slippery Rock Speedway in Slippery Rock, Pa... Also, he is the six time champion of The “No Big Deal” race in Waterford Pa. and captured “Champion of the Fall Brawl 2001” at Hilltop Speedway in Marietta Ohio. He has also won races at KartTrack Albion Pa., Blankethill Speedway in Kittanning Pa. and Thunder Canyon Raceway in Fairmont, West Virginia. He has also won races with many different sanctioning bodies in Karting.

In June 2005, months after the season opened, Tim returned to the extremely competitive Dirt Late Model division as owner and driver, once again with limited funding. On the sixth race out after Tim’s return to late model competition the team was leading the race and had a chance to win, the team had two top ten finishes, eight top twenty-five finishes and a twenty-first place finish in points at Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. He entered the twenty-fifth annual Dirt Track World Championship in 2005. After an impressive presentation, the car was damaged past the point of competition. Things did not go the way he had expected, but there is the twenty-sixth WDTC and they will be back to try again! Tim and his team look forward to a very successful 2006 season.
