Garman Racing was founded in 2008 in memory of our father Sidney Garman Sr. who was an avid race car driver and an awesome engine builder. We started out running one 250cc air cooled Yamaha engine car in the Sportsman division and two 125cc Yamaha/Honda engine cars in the 125cc division of micro sprints. We had a good building year and finished eighth overall in points in the 250cc Sportsman division and 13th and 19th in points in the 125cc division.
We purchased a 2007 Probe chassis with a 2008 Yamaha 1000cc engine and had Jesse Snyder drive it in the Sidewinder Series. He was an awesome driver and won many races for us including two wins at the Spring Nationals.
We changed the Probe Chassis to a 2008 Suzuki 600cc stock engine and Seth Garman ran it in the ACMS Series finishing first in the championship.
We purchased a 2007 RTS Chassis and put a 2011 Suzuki 600cc stock engine on it and a 2001 Hyper Chassis and put a 2007 Suzuki 600cc stock engine on it. Devin Garman ran the Probe in the ACMS Series finishing third in the championship, Sean Garman ran the RTS finishing fifth in the championship and Scott Garman ran the 2001 Hyper finishing sixth in the championship.
Sean had his ups and downs in 2014 but managed to finish in the top ten of the ACMS Series. Although Scott only ran part time, he still managed to finish in 12th place in the ACMS Series.
Sean sold his RTS and purchased a 2013 Hyper Chassis with a 2009 Yamaha 600cc stock engine. He had a great year with multiple wins and finished third in the ACMS Series. 2015 also saw Seth get back behind the wheel of a car. He drove a 2007 Henchcraft Chassis that he shared with Scott. Seth finished seventh in the ACMS Series while Scott only ran a few races and finished outside the top ten.
In 2016 to 2019 we had AJ Bast driving the 2013 Hyper at diverse tracks. He did well for us having multiple wins.
We decided to rebuild the team, so we sold all our equipment and started fresh. In 2018 Scott purchased a new Hyper Chassis with a 2009 Yamaha R6 600cc engine and in 2020 Sean purchased a 2019 Hyper Chassis with a 2005-2006 Kawasaki 636cc engine. We look forward to the new season starting in 2021!
We sold our 2018 and 2019 cars and have entered semi-retirement as drivers and moved into more of an owner and sponsor role. We still own a 2015 Hyper with a 2005-2006 Kawasaki 636cc engine that we will be running in select events throughout the year.
We've partnered with AJ Bast with his 2011 Hyper. He will be racing primarily at Blanket Hill Speedway in Kittanning, PA, but plans to run at various tracks this year. His daughter Raegan will be racing for the first time this year.
We are an associate sponsor of the Zach Rhodes Racing 305 Sprint. Zach races with the Pennsylvania Sprint Car Series (P.A.S.S.) and is in his second year. Zach will be running a partial schedule that follows P.A.S.S. to various tracks.
We are an associate sponsor of Rutherford Motorsports 410 and 358 Sprints. The 410 is driven by Matt Campbell and the 358 is driven by Tylar Rutherford. The 410 primarily runs at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway but will travel to other tracks. The 358 primarily runs at BAPS Motor Speedway but will run at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway when the series visits those tracks. They may run other selected events as well.
