A frustrating night for us but we tried, I just couldn’t get through turns 3 and 4 to set up coming off turn 4 and lost a lot every lap. Maybe not enough wedge, or just me. Finished last in our heat, and last in the 17 car feature when the 3rd link, (upper link, […]
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.

Our 2016 schedule was complete a few weeks ago, prior to May 7th but I haven’t had time until now to post it. This weekend we take the Late Model to Full Throttle Motor Speedway for race #4 of 26. Thanks for visiting our site.
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 […]
Our cars were finished just in time for the big weekend at Flamboro Speedway. Thanks to my awesome crew and sponsors for getting our team ready for 2016. I decided to get a few extra laps on the Late Model by helping support OSCAAR’s Super Late Model show. We were well out of our league […]
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 […]

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 […]

The season opener was quite a night. I wasn’t prepared at all. The full story is on Diary of a Season 2016, on our Message Board. Things didn’t go so good Saturday night but we got there and that was the main thing. Since then David dug in and really helped his Dad the past […]
Not getting my Late Model till mid April really made things hard for me the past few weeks. Over that time I had different people put a few hours to help. some an hour, some 2 or 3. My son David was crucial to me having a chance to be ready. He helped with some […]
