A family Tradition of Racing

Rally racing runs deep in the Gruszka family, becoming a cherished tradition. Patrick Gruszka’s father, Art, the CEO of Green APU, was captivated by the thrill of racing during his youth in Poland. His introduction to Rally racing took place near his hometown, and it was a transformative moment that ignited his lifelong passion for the sport. As he watched the top racers of his era, he nurtured a dream: the dream of one day taking the wheel of a race car himself.
