Welp I think we are done for the weekend, had a pretty Good Weekend. Got to the track this morning and The day started off really well, as the car was doing its job as it had all weekend long, finally the driver was doing the job too. Unfortuneately it was the driver that cost me another ride to the finals as I hit the brakes at the stripe to let the eventual winner of the event around me at 3 cars. So 2 semi finals and one win this weekend isn't to bad. Here are some pictures of the car and Scotty Richardson and I in the Winners Circle from Saturday! Stay Tuned for Next Week!

Welp got in a bit ago from LRP and wasn't as good a day as a week ago but we did salvage a semi final after blowing out a fuel line in round 1 of Elims we were able to get it fixed and resume racing. Heading to Brown County Dragway tomorrow hopefully we will get a better result then....Stay Tuned!

Well with the rain letting up long enough to get to races in this weekend, we had yet another decent weekend, (Taking tomorrow off to spend time with my baby girl). Was able to reach the Semis in Super Pro at Speeds Friday night, and was able to bring home another win at Lyons Raceway Park tonight. The car was on rails tonight and I actually did a decent job at the wheel. worse light all night was .027, car ran 4 7.09's in a row then went 7.085 in the final on a 7.08 dial. Next weekend is the OHIO CRANKSHAFT NO BOX NATIONALS. Stay Tuned!!

Bad news, I noticed a bad humming noise coming from the rear end Saturday night after the finals, came home spent the day with my daughter on fathers day Sunday then Monday we tore into it, the pinion nut had backed off so we tightened it up and went out for a test drive, IT WAS WORSE, so last night we tore it completely down only to see the carrier is busted and the mini spool in broken into 3 pcs. Ya ya i know MINI SPOOL..So I have ordered a full spool and c clip elims from Strange to fix the problem. Don't forget this weekend NO BOX NATS at Indy! Come see us..

Well the weekend is over and started out horribly, got to indy friday night. Made the first time shot, car went 7.029, spit and sputtered after going thru the traps, pulled fuel filters off cleaned them out and seems to be ok, 2nd pass car went 7.031, get back call us up for the gamblers race get in the car to start it and click click click, battery dead, throw the boost box on it fire it up and make it to the lanes, go up launch the car it has a nasty bog then out of the clear blue sky just dies....get pulled back to the pits only to realize the fuel hasn't been checked, I ran out of fuel like an idiot.. put fuel in it try to start it and the battery is still dead, so we put it on the charger for about an hour fire it up and put a volt meter on it, come to find out the alternator is junk, head to the zone to get a new alternator put it on for Saturday mornings event, roll up round 1 time trials car goes 7.081 (what a difference when your alternator is acutally charging), so I throw a 7.09 on the car for elims. Round 1 roll up against Mike Mckinney, he is .001 on the tree to my .018, he is dead on with a 1, not much I can do there.. Buy Back go up for round 2 draw Eric Paul, we are pretty even on the tree and I break out by .002. My Saturday race #1 is over. Race #2 Saturday started kinda rough, but I was able to gather myself to salvage a few round wins getting loaded in round 4. So then came Sunday. Hot and humid with about 160 of the best bottom bulbers in the midwest there. Finally was able to put a pretty good string of round wins together to get in the way of yet another ridiculous package laid down by WG Miller from Tennessee. I was no sloutch that round either layng down a .016 package but I was just in the way of his .002 package as he laid down a .002 light and was dead on with a 0. That was the 5th round. So all in all not a great weekend for me but it was a blast. Stay tuned for more results next week....

Welp after fighting fuel system issues all night Friday night we took Saturday off to do some routine maintenance and track down the issues, we found the issues fixed them and decided to take the car to Brown County to test it to make sure the bugs were all gone and sure enough they were, as the car was decent all day and the driver was ok, we got to the finals and broke out by .003. So far it has been a pretty rough season with the car hopefully this will be the beginning of a turn around period..Talk to you all next week..

Welp so far this weekend has started off ok, had to shots to take the win Friday night as I got to the finals in Pro and Super Pro but I couldnt seal the deal, in super pro I gave it away going red and in the pro final ole boy goes .001 on the tree 1 over to my .020 1 over. Went to LRP today only to get rained out before Elims, trying to decide what to do Sunday, pretty good shot at rain but thinking of either INDY or Terre Haute...Stay Tuned..
