In the off season I bought David’s Pro Late Model that had been sitting since October of 2016. My crew and David’s did a lot of work on the car for 2018. This is David’s Championship car from 2014 and 2015, he also finished 2nd in points in 2016, losing but 2 points. My Late Model has been restored but will be used as a Ride A Long car for promotions with businesses as well as show and other events. It’s been equipped with a passenger seat and looks just this Pro Late Model.
We headed to Flamboro Speedway on May 5th for practice after hearing Friday night the races had been cancelled due to the terrible condition of the fan parking area….too saturated with water. The second week in a row races had been cancelled.
David and I are splitting the Pro Late Model race series this year at Flamboro Speedway. It was to be 6 races for me and 5 for David, but now with the 2 losses, it will be 5 for David and 4 for me. I did book 28 race nights for 2018, my 50th season, hopefully I don’t lose any more.
The Modified will race 15 times with OSCAAR and 7 times at Full Throttle Motor Speedway. It’s been a tough year for promoters with no sun or warm air, not to mention the crazy snow storm we had a few weeks ago.
Our practice session went well. David took the car out for the first set. After just 4 laps, and not being in a car for 18 months, he was pushing and it looked very good, I got to take it out for our final session and did pretty good by the final few laps, turning faster lap times than I did in the past few years with my Late Model.
May 12th will be the season opener for Flamboro Speedway, and the Late Models, and David will start the season for us….it’s his turn. I start in the Mod on the long weekend at Sunset Speedway.

50th Anniversary Paint Scheme…..OSCAAR Modified Ready To Go…..
Our Modified is finally ready to go, just a few small tweaks. I went to a gold theme, with gold wheels to celebrate our Golden Anniversary of Stock Car racing.
My crew worked hard to get the car ready, and awesome work by Steve Lyons and the staff of Creative Edge to put together a great looking paint scheme.
Weather depending we will attempt practice on Saturday April 28th, but weather has been the main story this spring for certain. If we can’t get on the track now, we will before our season opener for OCSAAR Modifieds on May 19th weekend.
Special thanks to Louie, Stephen, Hayden, Brian, Randall along with David and his crew Eddie and John for helping get our cars ready……the Late Model is painted and goes for lettering on Monday. I will post that picture at the end of next week. Our LM starts next Saturday May 5th…….thanks for visiting our site. 
Late Model Getting Prepared….Lots To Do…Time Is Closing In
Our Late Model is still a long way from being ready. David, Eddie and Jim have repaired the front bumper, fixed the exhaust and will be installing the body soon…..going to be close for the season opener if it happens. This snow and ice storm has put everyone back track wise….once completed the car goes to Steve Lyons crew at Creative Edge for lettering…..thanks for visiting our site. 
Flamboro Pro Late Model Getting Prepared
We are working hard on David’s 2015 Championship car, getting it ready for our season opener at Flamboro Speedway on April 28th. There is lots to do, and now, man hours will be very important for us to get this car ready and lettered to start the season. My crew have been extremely helpful this year, and in this photo, David, Eddie and I get some things done.
My 50th year will have many high lites, but one is sharing this ride with my son in 2017.
Thanks for visiting, more news coming very soon…..
Happy Easter to my Family, Friends and Fans…He is Risen!!!
What a great day this is for the Christian faith, but for the entire world. Jesus gave His life for us, cleansing us from the stain of sin with His blood…..John 2:19 Jesus said ” destroy this temple and I will raise it again in 3 days”. The Pharisees reminded Him that it took 46 years to build the temple “and you’re going to raise it in 3 days”?
Later after His death, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and a man (an Angel) asked “who is it you seek”. The angel replied “He is not hear, He is risen like He said” Mathew 28:6……Happy Easter to everyone…..more posts on our progress will be on here this coming week….thanks for visiting our site.
Modified Ready For Lettering Graphics at Creative Eddge
The past 2 weekends we got a lot done on Modified. The engine was install last week, then some final parts put on during the week like the rad, fan, plugs, wires, carb etc. No headers yet or side bars because of ease for Steve Lyons and his boys to create a master piece for our 50th season.
We have made good progress on my Late Model so far. I will be posting on it very soon.
Thanks for visiting our site.
Drive Line Next……Buttons Happy In The Car
We have completed the work on the car other than the drive line, side bars, lettering and a few small details. Hopefully by next weekend we have the engine ready to go in. Thanks for visiting our site.
Body Completed…Thanks to Louie, Randall for Extra Effort…and Buttons
Louie and Randall joined me Saturday and Monday to get the body completed. We still have some things to do to the body, but did get it all installed.
Now to install the fire extinguisher, transponder and other small parts before the drive line goes in…..Buttons gets in the action to, standing right beside us during most of the work. 🙂
More news soon….thanks for visiting our site.
Body Going On….Thanks To My Crew For Their Hard Work
This year, as most of you know, we stripped our Mod right to the bare chassis and had it sand blasted and powder coated. The reassemble has taken longer than we thought, but is going back together perfect. A new dash, gauges, tach and switches, plus new fuel cell all took a little longer, but we’re getting closer to having the body finished. Then we will start on our Late Model program.

OSCAAR Mod Rebuild……Getting Closer
We’ve been working on our Modified on weekends only and that’s been keeping us from getting where we should be by now, but I do like what and how we are doing the rebuild. Some additions this year include a sand blasted and powder coated chassis, new rad, new fuel cell, new gauges and tachometer as well as new switches.
Our engine is being rebuilt and should be done in 2 weeks. Once the Modified is completed we will start on the Late Model.
David and I will share the Late Model driving this year and run for the Flamboro Late Model Championship…….more soon…..thank you for visiting our site.
