Today’s Tuesday Drivers Spotlight goes out to Rick Klotz!
Rick Klotz comes from a small town in northern Manitoba called, Lynn Lake. Rick is easy to spot—he’s the only guy rocking a badass ginger mullet with a matching mustache. Just as recognizable as his look is his character: the kind of person who’ll go the extra mile to help anyone in need. He’d give you the shirt off his back… just don’t ask for his shoes. LOL.
Rick grew up around cars. Believe it or not, He started working with his families tow truck/ gas garage at 4 years old. Eating lunch with his Dad, painting people’s tailgates, spray painting Chevy Blue strips around the garage (on stucco). Later on he learned to operate the hoist!
By age 12, he could pretty much run the pumps, cash register, tire balancer, check any and all the fluids and put air in tires-reading a tire gauge properly! If Ice Road Truckers was on TV back in the 70’s- Rick would have been on it. He learn how to drive full size, half ton trucks on the ice roads up northern Manitoba.
Rick has always had the need for speed, whether on bikes, snowmobiles or behind the wheel of a cars! Racing runs deep in his family- his late uncle, Abe Loewen earned a place in Canadian Drag Racers Hall of Fame!
Rick’s favorite place to be is higher than 20 feet in the air. Rick is not afraid of heights. Climbing trees or being high on a roof working is just where he prefers to be other than on the racetrack. Rick owns/operates Two Rivers Roofing Ltd, with his wife Jaxx, in Grand Forks, BC.
Together, Rick and his Pinto “Ruby” are fast, fearless, and unmistakably unique—a team you definitely won’t want to miss when they roll into the lanes.
