Alex Kihurani

The groundwork for Alex’s inevitable road to the rally world was laid down when his father was a child. Kihurani Gakuu grew up in Kenya in the 1960’s and 70’s with the famed Safari Rally going right past his front door. When Gakuu moved to Pennsylvania in the late 70’s he searched for the American rally scene, at last finding the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally in 1981. Twelve years later in 1993 Gakuu took six-year-old Alex to that same rally, and the bug was planted.
