Jess and Phil Giebler standing in the Intrepid tent at the 2006 Stars race in Norman, OK. Phil is the 2005 National ICA champion. He is driving the ICC entry for Intrepid in 2006, and finished 2nd in this race. There were close to 50 karts in the Intrepid tent for the race, partially because the Oklahoma track is home to Champion Racing, the US importer for Intrepid.

He has years of karting experience across the country. He is mostly responsible for the dramatic rise in Matt's success this year. Fritz is a noted 125cc ICC driver who also helped Matt set up the kart.
