Richard Goshert - Navigator (United States)

Richard was born in North Central Indiana in 1939. As a young man, we was interested in racing, girls, and agriculture (most likely in that order).

In 1953, Richard started his racing career at the tender age of 14, driving stock cars on dirt track ovals. By the 70's, he was mentoring four of his children on go-kart racing in many state and national races. With a life long history of agriculture sales under his belt, he currently co-owns Crop Insurance Agency in Warsaw, Indiana along with two of his sons.

Richard & wife Patricia are also member missionaries with SEND INTERNATIONAL. SEND is a mission agency with offices in Farmington, MI serving many Asian and European countries.
In his capacity as a missionary, Richard has made 12 trips to many areas of Russia, leading volunteer construction teams building Bible College and Church buildings.

Richard says, “I count it a privilege to be a small part of the The World Race 2011”.

Ed Gaven - Navigator (International)

Ed was born in 1942 in New Jersey. After high school, he departed for the University of Colorado (Boulder), and graduated 1965 with a B.S. in Business Management and a commission in the U.S. Air Force. Undergraduate PilotTraining in Arizona, KC 135 Tanker training in California, and 19 more years flying 135 s. Saberliners, and O 2s (Cessna 337) Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft for US Special Forces - over 1000 combat hours flown. After the Air Force, he flew 13 years for American Airlines as a B 727 and DC 10 flight engineer, and MD80 Pilot.

Ed went to his first race with the owner of the gas station/men and boys club. He had raced until the year before, knew everybody, was an excellent driver and teacher. The economics of a small gas station and running a race car did not work out. Because of that owner, he was exposed to some of the best racers in the U.S., some of whom he followed and crewed for all over the east coast, Watkins Glen to Sebring. This was a time when almost anything was possible. If you worked hard, were innovative, asked for help, thought things thru, it could be done.

In college Ed got hooked up with the sports car racing group in the Denver/Boulder area. He went to lots of races, helped crew and prep cars, and then went to driver's school in a VW. Then to the Air Force, a Lotus 7 (which I mistakenly sold when I went to Vietnam), later a BEGRA FIA C Sports Prototype (750 cc sports racer, similar in concept to a Lotus 23) Post Air Force, Skip Barber formula Ford series/school/ Bondurant schools/ Toyota mini-stocks, go karts, (yes a 125 cc shifter kart), La Carrera Panamericana in a 54 Lincoln, and a 54 Olds....3rd in class each time, Baja 1000 on a bike,( it's a long story) and the Factory Five Challenge series racer, Pikes Peak 3 times and the 25 Hour Race, 5 times. Coaching high performance driving with Hooked ON Driving. Ed says that the four best things he has ever done was 1 - Marry Cindy, 2 - Air Force, 3 - Retire early, and 4 - TBD!

When asked about The World Race 2011 Ed says he is "Looking forward to our once around the world".

Dennis Barfield

I was born in Pitts, GA. March 16, 1941, The first born of seven children to Euletha Patterson Barfield and Jessie L. Barfield. At about seven years of age my family moved to Macon, GA. There I grew up and finished school. January 1960 at age 18 I joined the US Navy. My first four years were spent aboard the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in LONG Beach, CA.

In 1964 I went back to Georgia and married my sweetheart of 5 years, the former Sylvia Woods of Warner Robbins, GA. We will Celebrate our 46th anniversary October 10th of this year (2010). The Lord blessed us with 2 daughters, 3 Granddaughters and 1 Grandson.

The remainder of my naval career was spent on various ships in Norfolk,VA – Rota, Spain – Charleston, SC – Tampa, FL – Holy Loch, Scotland and shore duty in Pensacola, FL and then back to Charleston where I retired in 1980 as a Chief Petty Officer. After retirement from the Navy I started my own business in appliance sales and service.

Around 1990 I participated in my first Great American Race, and have been an avid participant ever since. As my love for the Great Race and antique cars grew so did my desire to see the younger generation get involved. In 2005 myself and a couple of friends got a high school X-Cup team started in order for them to take part in the Great Race. The rest is history! A non-profit organization was created for the boys X-Cup team called Charleston Area Youth Racers. The boy’s team participated in their first Great Race in 2006 and came in 2nd place.

I am looking forward, with great anticipation and excitement, to the Around The World Great Race in 2011.

Now that you know a little more about Price Team Racing, we welcome you to follow along or even become a sponsor as we make history in The World Race 2011!
