Since he was a child he had been fascinated by each device which had a combustion engine. The first sporting success was modification of Romet moped, so that it became faster than his friend's Simson moped. Next there were rallies, and it all ended up with quarter-mile races.

"I am always very pleased when work performed on preparations of equipment brings positive results.  In my area, each start is a new challenge, each modification is moving the limits of me and my car forward.  Each finish line is a success, although the most important one is still ahead of me" - says Staszewski.
