In the late 1960’s Wayne bought an airplane and took up flying and the family went to many air shows.
Wayne helped his parents when they owned the City Bakery in Lexington and Cozad, being the local delivery boy. He worked at Darr Fertilizer for over thirty years. He owned/managed the I-80 Texaco in Lexington, which was the last remaining full service gas station in the area. While working for Darr Fertilizer he took over the family Koch farm south of Cozad and operated that until 1999.
Wayne retired from working so he could spend more time on his hobbies which was CARS!!! Wayne always had a infatuation with cars even as a small boy. He also did circle track racing in Lexington. He went drag racing in the 1960’s with Don Wheeler, which turned into a lifelong friendship, at Kearney, Great Bend, Kansas Julesburg, Colorado and numerous other dragstrips. In 1989, Wayne and family restored the dragster he built in 1964 to take to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. He named the dragster Flathead Fever and raced it there for two years. The next year, a 1939 Ford sedan called the Class of 39 made its debut at Bonneville, where it was raced for twenty-five years and set nineteen land speed records, something Wayne was very proud of.
When he wasn’t racing cars he restored numerous cars throughout his lifetime. Wayne shared his passion for cars with his three sons.
