Ken and his family moved back and ran the Pure Oil business for several years and then had their second son, Reid.

For family fun, Ken started his sons in moto-cross when they were 8 and 11 years old. Both boys excelled and for the next 6 years, they tackled the sport of moto-cross by winning the State Championships and the Loretta Lynn National.
