Jack Lehmann Obituary

Jack Lehmann, 92, passed away on November 20, 2025, in Tacoma, WA.

Born on July 19, 1933, Jack's life was fueled by a profound passion for karting-a love that became both his calling and his legacy. That passion took tangible form in Kart-O-Rama, the business he founded and nurtured into a cherished cornerstone of the karting world. From the hum of engines to the camaraderie shared at the track, Jack's devotion to motorsports created a lasting ripple through a community bound by speed and spirit.

His journey was not only marked by laps around the circuit but also by the lives he touched along the way. Jack is remembered with love by his daughter Leanne; his son David and David's wife Amber; his daughter Beth; his granddaughter Ariel; and many nieces and nephews. His presence extended beyond family ties into friendships forged through shared dreams and roaring engines.

Though the checkered flag has waved on Jack's race through life, his memory lingers like tire marks on asphalt-bold, enduring, and full of motion. May those who knew him find comfort in remembering his unwavering drive and may those who follow be inspired to chase their own passions with equal heart.

We won PSGKA and Gold Cup races thanks to Jack´s help. He always made time to help my dad and I prepare for races. I was a young teenager back then and loved listening and learning from him. I bet he´s rebuilding motors in Heaven right now. RIP

Condolenced to the Lehmann family, and the karting community.

I met Jack at the PSGKA last track which he helped nurture. He checked in on how things were going, and then have me very actionable advice. He would then check in on how it turned out. He made the sport approachable for me, and helped me on my karting journey.

Going to the track will not be the same without Jack. Going to miss him coming by...

Thank you Jack!

I first met Jack in 1971 while racing against his daughter Leanne in Jr classes. He always offered me advise after 76 I was going to races y myself and a minor I would ask Jack to sign my minor release he always did with a smile. We would call each other during the week.
