I was flipping through the TV channels and came across this Top Fuel Funny car with the Canadian National Logo painted on it.
What a great sponsor for racing. Todd Losenko and the Worsham Racing team run this car.
Here is his info:
Todd Lesenko
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Todd began working in the automotive industry at the age of 12. His first job was at a fuel and automotive station where he swept, painted and tended to any odd jobs that needed to be completed.
Todd was eager to learn about automobiles and began assisting the technicians in the shop. The owner of the shop was a competitive drag racer and all of the mechanics in the shop participated in racing. As time went on Todd was asked to assist the crew at the races and became hooked.
While a high school student Todd began his apprenticeship to become a licensed automotive technician. This was a four(4) year program, each year consisting of two (2) months of school and ten(10) months of shop experience. Shortly after he graduated from HS he obtained his license in the trade.
It all took off from there and after 6 months of hard work and great technical training, Todd opened his very own automotive repair facility. It was a small three bay shop in his home town. His business grew in size of operation and customer base quickly, which brought the attention of a large auto and tire dealer who invited him to join their chain of stores.
Todd is the current owner of a number of these stores and continues to work with the corporate head office as a consultant. Currently Todd has 26 licensed technicians that work for him and has mentored several apprentices over the years. He is also an official auto inspector for the province of Alberta.
Todd believes that honesty and hard work will make for a great life in the automotive industry; from being a technician to fulfilling his passion as a Nitro Funny Car driver!
