7/28/08 - It is with a heavy heart and much sadness we convey to the karting community the untimely passing of one of our racers Adam William Schatz.
Adam William Schatz was 26 years young and was born to Bill and Grace Schatz on November 20th 1981
Anyone who had been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to meet and know Adam was lucky indeed.
Adam was one of the most considerate and helpful young man we have had the pleasure to be able to call our friend.
The karting community and the world have suffered a great loss.
As a small memorial to Adam at the CES Blackhawk Farms event we are starting the 1st annual Blackhawk Farms Adam Schatz Benefit Fund TAG Pro Team Race All funds and donations collected will be donated to the Adam Schatz Benefit Fund. This event will be presented at Blackhawk Farms Raceway each and every year as long as there is a karting event held at the facility.
Anyone who cannot make the race and wishes to contribute to the fund may do so thru River Valley Kart Club 643 Longview Drive Antioch IL 60002.
Thanks for the Friendship Adam
Gods speed
Dave Larson and the Larson Family
