  • 2020 Racing Season

    Are we in the twilight zone? I am sitting here kicking myself for not going to speedweeks in Florida, but maybe that was a good thing. Maybe the virus was swirling down there.

    We are currently contemplating our 2020 vision. I'm assuming it will mean a lot of traveling. We will publish an updated schedule once we get confirmation of who is going to run.

  • 6/8 - Plymouth

    Filed to Uncategorized

    We were rained out on June 1st, but we were back at it on Saturday June 8th.  We started 2nd in the heat, but we were the first race of the night and the track was a skating rink.  All 6 cars went straight to the wall.  We were letting off the throttle at the flag stand and coasting it in to the corner.  I was passed on the last lap when I slid to the wall and finished 4th.  So I started 7th in the feature.  We made our way to the front and was spun in 4 and hit by 3 cars.  After they ripped my rear bumper off, we went racing again starting at the tail.  We made a hard charge up to 4th and pas...

  • Racing - 5/18

    With Plymouth having Open Wheel Night, we went to Shadyhill Speedway.  Started outside front row, ran the high side for a few laps nose to nose with the 11.  Then he pushed high and i hit the loose dirt and went back to 5th.  Tried to move back on the high side and finished 6th.

  • Plymouth - May 11th

    We didn't start the night so well.  We got caught up with another car in the heat due to the ruts.  Wrecker pulled us apart and I finished the heat 5th.  Started 10th in the feature.  Ran up to 3rd for 9-10 laps.  Was pile drived by another driver with 2 to go.  Through me up in the junk.  He and another car passed me.  Could have passed for one more spot but track was rough.  The other driver will get the same driving style as I received assuming we are side by side again.  I guess it is ok to just drive into their door in the corner....  Let's go racin!

  • Rough Start to the year

    We have ran 3 races and have only finished 1.  The two races at Plymouth have been pretty rough.  The ruts have been about a foot deep in places.  They run the track efficiently, so we will give them some chances to run the new track in and prep it accordingly.  We will be running Plymouth and possibly Kokomo for a while.  Lon was out to help go through the car last night and we found quite a few issues: frame hit, shock, rear brake broke.  We made a quick change for the front bumper to help in future changes(Hopefully we don't need any).  We are about to load up and head to Plymouth.  This po...

  • June 23rd at Shadyhill

    Started the night with a bad draw.  Started 7th out of 9 cars in the first heat race.  Ran well and won the Heat race.  First place in the first heat had me lined up pretty well for the feature, but they pulled a 4 for the invert.  So I started outside 2nd row.

    Started the feature and moved to 2nd.  Ran about 14 laps in 2nd and a weld broke on my rearend with 3 laps to go...  I tried to hold it together but pulled off.  Not sure where I finished, but not a good finish after a great running night.
