About The Team

Shopcat Motorsports is a family racing and motorsports endeavor started in 2021. The name Shopcat comes from a family pet that loved to hangout in the shop with the family while working on various projects. He was THE shop cat and will be missed. 

This family fueled journey started with a shared love of racing and consists of Ryan (dad), Amy (mom), Ghavin and Ethan. 

RYAN

Ryan grew up attending various racing events in Ohio and has always had a special interest in sprint car racing since his grandpa took him to the races as a child. That now translates into working on and racing go karts locally.

AMY

Amy grew up around go kart racing from a young age and has a family history of racing. Both her grandpa and grandma raced quarter midgets and midgets. Her dad also raced go karts later in life and greatly sparked Amy's love of racing. Her parents also owned a track for a short time.

GHAVIN

Ghavin got into racing a little later than he wanted, but started his racing career in 2021, while competing in his first race in 2022. He too was inspired by his grandpa (Amy's dad) and all of the race car drivers that he was able to watch growing up at our local dirt track. 2022 was a learning year for Ghavin but he gained a lot of knowledge and experience and progressed well througout the year. 2023 finds him racing in the Predator class with a couple of top 5 finishes.

ETHAN

Ethan started his racing career in 2023. Even though this was his first year he has always been a huge help in the pits - working on the karts, prepping tires, etc. In the small sample size so far in 2023, Ethan has done well racing considering that he is still learning. Ethan is also running the Predator class for the 2023 season.
