Sorry Walt can't type I hid reply too soon I knew Travis and Jeremiah were just wasn't sure about Shawn. Their Mother used to sit near us at Mercer when they still ran Big Blocks so I knew they were brothers.

The Kristyak brothers - Tom, Mike, John and Dave started racing in the late 50's or early 60's and their family is still racing today.  Mike by far had the most success of the original brothers primarily at Mercer.  Tom's son Tommy is the most successful of the family with wins in 5 decades now.  I would guess somewhere around 150 wins in various forms of mods at most of the area tracks.  Walt probably knows exactly how many wins Tommy has.  Mike's son Marty has raced and won a handful of races. Mike's son-in-law is Gary Smoker a big winner in limited/358 mods.  Mike's grandsons have recently started racing - Max Smoker - Gary's son and Michael Kristyak - Marty's son.  Dave's son Robbie Kristyak has multiple modified wins mostly at Sharon.
