Friday we went back to McCown’s Jackson County Speedway and they again had 22 modified's. We set 2nd fastest time and that started us 5th in the dash and finished 4th. This started us 4th in the feature. We were able to take the lead on lap 3 and went on to get win #2 on the year. Saturday we had plans to race, but Mother Nature again thought otherwise. This week we plan to go to Jackson County Speedway and I-77 Speedway.

Friday we went to McCown’s Jackson County Speedway and they had 32 cars. We set fast time with a 14.68 and started 6th in the dash and finished 4th. This started us 4th in the feature. I didn’t keep up with the track and changes on the car and we wound up finishing 4th. I was real pleased with how the car drove, considering the damage we had gotten in Florence, Ky.

Saturday we went to Tyler County Speedway and they had 23 cars. By pill draw we were suppose to start 3rd, but the front row tacked the tail and we started on the pole. We wound up finishing 2nd to Roy Roush, last weeks feature winner, with no brakes. We changed a master cylinder before the feature, but apparently that wasn’t it either, for I had no brakes in the feature either. But we started 5th, faded to 8th, but came back to get a 3rd place finish. We was real pleased with the run.

This week we plan to go to Jackson County Speedway and Ohio Valley Speedway.

Well a lot has happened in a short amount of time. Nov. 5th was our last race and we stripped the car down to the bare chassis and put it back together in like new condition and it was decaled on Dec.6th. We took it to the IMIS trade show in Indianapolis on Dec. 7th for the entire weekend. We were invited out to display the car in the Champions Hall for being the 2011 AMRA Champion. We picked up some product support such as Out-Pace, Hypercoils, Ultrashield, TSM Enhanced Shocks, Bilstein, Wrisco, Areo Wheels, Keyser Mfg., RCI, Aero, Hoosier, Wrisco, Bazell Race Fuels, Willy’s Carburetors, KSE Pumps, OTR Filters, Octane Race Products and Poske Performance Parts. We also have back on board again, K-Graphics, Coughlin Cars.com, GP&S, Balderson Construction, T&L Consulting, Bill & Patty Welch, Billy Joe & Wanda Hammett. For our first race we planned to go to Moler Raceway Park on March 16th, but they got rained out. Then we went to Florence Speedway on Saturday, March 17th for $1,000 to win. We didn’t make it thru hot laps before we totaled the car. It was a racing incident that we got caught up in. We got some frame damage on the passenger side. This past Saturday we took it to Chuck Stotts and we put it on his frame machine and he worked some pretty good magic. He pulled it back to where it needed to be and now we just need to put it together and we’ll be good to go. We plan to start racing again on April 6th at Jackson County Speedway on April 6th and then at I-77 Speedway on April 7th. Of course, that’s weather permitting.

Our season is now complete & we finished up at Atomic Speedway (formerly called K-C Speedway). Our night didn’t start out too well, cause when I qualified I drove it in turn 1 too hard and went off the track in turn 2. That buried us in heat #4, starting 7th. The car drove super, both high and low and we got the heat race win. On the pill redraw we started 6th in the feature. We passed our way to 3rd on a long green flag run, but when a caution came out, our right rear tire gave up and our car just didn’t take off and we wound up finishing 5th. We also got to race Jim Helterbran’s #27 hobby stock. Jamey Adams helped get us the ride. We started 10th in our heat race and finished 3rd. We started 6th in the feature and passed to 3rd. We passed for 2nd a couple different times, but each time the yellow came out. But at about the half way point we got a flat tire. Had a very good car, but bad luck sturck us. I want to thank Jim and Jamey for allowing to race the car and all of their help!

Here is how our season turned out. We set fast time 9 times and now hold the track record at Muskingum County and Atomic Speedway. We won 30 heat races and 17 features. we finished 2nd-7 times, 3rd-3 times, 4th-5 times, 5th-1 time, 6th-1 time, 7th-1 time, 9th-2 times, 10th-1 time, 11th-2 times, 14th-1 time, DNF-5 times, DNQ-1. A pretty successful year, but we can identify something areas of improvement and we’ll work on that for 2012.

I want to thank Tim Cooper and Chad Nelson for giving up their summers to help. Without them, none of this would be possible. Also want to thank Todd Lambiotte and Jason Canepari for their help as well. Special thanks goes out to all of our sponsors, whether it be a business or individuals that provide us support, every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated!
