Good news today for our team. A good friend of our family, Ian Lively, has agreed to sponsor our race team a set of tires for the IWK 250 at Riverside International Speedway on July 16th.
We are thrilled to have the Strictly Hydraulics logo on our windshield for this incredible race, the biggest and most prestigious of my racing career.

We raced Saturday night at Full Throttle Speedway. Unfortunately we won’t be going back in the Late Model because of schedule conflict. We will be there 2 more times in the OSCAAR Modified.

On Sunday night, while leading, our Modified quit on lap 24 of the 30 lap feature. No fuel to the carb. We found the handle for the fuel shut off valve missing on the rear deck, I replaced that part late Tuesday and headed to Flamboro for a test session. I was hoping the valve was the problem, it seemed obvious.
Pro Late Model racer Rodney Rutherford counted laps for me.
After a hard 22 laps, the car was fine. Maybe I should have done more laps but there were cars waiting to come on the track, they only allow one at a time for practice night. Anyway there was no issues, so I cautiously assume it’s going to be okay for the next race. I just hope it doesn’t act up on lap 24 at Delaware on June 3rd…..like I needed to stress my self with that thought 🙂

Modified is finally home. I now have 2 cars that look alike. I am so pumped with the awesome wrap by Creative Edge. Steve Lyons and his team work hard to please me and sometimes I can be over the top fussy about how my cars look but Steve listens to what I want then creates a beautiful looking race car, as he did with our Late Model. We agreed to do the Mod lettering the same……now to get it ready for Flamboro on Saturday.
Thanks to two of my crew Lloyd and Louie for helping out the fast few days.

It was a break working on the Modified. I assumed it would be easy, and in some ways it was but it was incredibly tedious and at times was sucking the life out of me.
Anyway it’s done now. I learned a lot working on the interior and outer panels. I love the look, the car is immaculate, a very deep luster paint job by Josh Watson and the green and black are going to be a great start for Steve Lyons at Creative Edge.

I did get some help from an unsuspecting source. I received a face book message from Louie Halliday on Thursday morning, about helping with the race car. He was wondering if I could use any help, but assumed I had a big crew and didn’t need anyone. He came over to help me with some of the panels and his few hours was so good. He is now officially on our team and will be a great addition for us.

I pick up the Late Model tomorrow and drop off the Modified. Can’t wait to see the Late Model, though it was very rough and not painted like I usually do…..like the Modified. Next the year the Late Model will be a homerun…..but I am sure it will look pretty awesome now.
Thanks for dropping by more soon.
