Who We Are Minimize
Glover Brothers Racing main constituents are;

Team Principle: Kevin Glover - Driving Wzard and Chassis Extraordinaire

Kevin's 18 years of karting experience and natural talent behind the wheel give him the ability fine tune driver and chassis as one. Add to the mix his uncanny ability to teach drivers in a way that works for them, plus his charismatic personality, Kevin is always able to help someone improve themselves and do so in a way that keeps racing fun.


Darwin Glover - Knowledge Well

Darwin worked as an automotive mechanic for years. He has a wealth of training and experience that largely translates directly to go-kart chassis dynamics and engine tuning.


Chris Glover - Logic Machine and Uncomprimiser

Chris has formal training as an engineer which forces him to attack problems in a more scientific manner than many are used to. This can be a huge benefit to the team at times when new, unknown challenges crop up a race events. This same characteristic means that Chris is uncompromising in his kart setup - if there's anything at all wrong with he chassis or engine performance, he'll make sure Kevin knows about it so that a solution can be found.

What We've Done Minimize
From the time they were young, it was obvious that Kevin and Chris had an affinity for speed as they were always trying to go fast. For instance, Kevin, as a 4 year old, would tear down hills on his Big Wheel Tricycle trying to go as fast as he could; skidding to a stop at the last possible minute at the bottom of the hill. As the years went on, this trend expanded to bigger bikes, sleds and snow mobiles.

During this time, their father Darwin was racing a stock car, which the boys would occasionally get the opportunity to ride along in for a few laps crying to go faster. Then in 1992, Darwin parked the stock car and purchased a couple of go-karts for Kevin and Chris. This was the birth of Glover Brothers Racing.

The boys took to the sport immediately, winning pretty much everything in the interior of British Columbia. In 1993, the team ventured south to the Westwood Karting Association where they again were instantly dominant in their categories.

1994 saw these categories change for the team as Kevin moved up and age bracket to Junior 2 and Chris moved into the 2-cycle realm in Junior Sportsman. This same year, the team won their first BC Provincial Championship with Kevin in Junior 2 4-cycle. Chris would do the same in the Junior Sportsman class in 1995.

This tradition of moving to more competitive waters continued for the team each and every year until, in 2003, both Kevin and Chris were ranked among the top single speed kart drivers in North America with Kevin missing the Stars of Karting National Championship by a single point.
