About JRP Speedway and Alf Gebhardt

JRP Speedway is owned by former International Road Racer Alf Gebhardt. Born in Germany, Mr. Gebhardt began racing in 1960 and has raced at such prestigious tracks as Riverside, Sebring and Daytona. Now a U.S. citizen, he began doing business in Tulsa in 1972 with the purchase of a BMW dealership. Mr. Gebhardt started teaching children racing on parking lots in town and then built a go-kart track in 1994 with a driving school and racing series for children which he runs to this day. In March 2004 he opened JRP Speedway’s ¼ mile asphalt oval where Mini Stocks, Factory Stocks, Dwarf Cars, Modifieds and Pro Mini Stocks race every Saturday night during a season that runs from April through October. In 2005 the go-kart track was expanded to a ½ mile road course that will be used nationally in 2006.
