Charles Madrid Of Skunk2 - Profiling
Read about Charles Madrid, an import icon who is currently working for Skunk2 Racing in the Profiling section of this month's issue.DR. Charles
Almost every industry has its standouts. Ours is no different. Technology, sports, the auto industry, none of these would be where they are now were it not for forward-thinking individuals. Our industry is full of leaders; the ones who've helped us grow over the years. But only a handful can claim they've been around since the beginning. And even fewer can say they've taken a hands-on approach at multiple levels and helped shape things into the way they are now. Charles Madrid can. For some, the name might conjure up images and events, a legendary history, even tall tales. For others, the name might ring a distant bell, but not one loud enough to make a difference simply because they're too young to know. Charles Madrid, or "Dr. Charles" as he's commonly known, has been involved with imports like Hondas since the late 1980s. He's gotten his hands dirty for the better part of 20 years working on the world's most famous Hondas, and somehow always managed to find himself at the forefront of the latest engine swaps and engine combinations that many initially shrugged off as "impossible." He's piloted a few of the fastest cars to date, helped break numerous records, and worked for some of the biggest names in the industry. Dr. Charles quickly became known as the "go-to guy" for a number of race teams, both for reasons of taking advantage of his mechanical prowess and his driving skills. His work ethic and ability to troubleshoot in-depth problems quickly are both to be reckoned with. Despite all of this, his history escapes many. Until now.
