Under the banner of Mason Motorsports, Mason has been racing his Super Buggy in the CORR Series for 5 years. Mason’s Super Buggy, a 1997 JIMCO chassis, is powered by a 4 cylinder, 1600cc Honda, B16A engine. The open wheeled car has 20” of suspension travel in the rear and 14” of travel in the front to handle the many jumps and rough dirt racing surface unique to off-road racing. The Super Buggy is often referred to as the “formula 1 car” of off-road racing. Their power to weight ratio and superior handling allows them to post lap times faster than the 600hp plus V-8 powered Sportsman 2 full size pickup class. During the August 13, 2006 Bark River, MI race, Mason posted a fast lap 2.8 seconds faster than the winning Sportsman 2 truck. Mason not only drives the car, but also is the chief mechanic and fabricator, his father David, from Laona, WI, fills the Crew Chief role and is the spotter on the radio during the race.

Mason is a resident of Plymouth, WI. He and wife Amy are the proud parents of five children. Mason holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Milwaukee School of Engineering. Mason is a Senior Component Engineer for J. L. French in Sheboygan, WI.
