Here’s  a little bit about Gus Dean

Gus is racing in a three-quarter size replica of a Sprint Cup Ford Thunderbird powered by four cylinder MAZDA B-2200 truck engine.

As the 2007 American Kart Racing Association’s Junior II National Points Series Champion, Gus is now setting his sights on the high-powered action of the Allison Legacy Series. Founded by the acclaimed Allison Brothers, Gus will be hitting the pavement and leaving the dirt behind.

Gus Dean began kart racing on a local “Saturday Night” track located in Pineora, Georgia at the age of eight. After a year at the local level, Gus began competing at the state level on the dirt tracks of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
