Here is a photo of our dirt car for 2012.  It is the only 34 Ford Sedan on dirt in the area.   My buddy Jim's car(VMS Motorsports) is in the background still running after his barrel roll at Manitowoc a few weeks agao.

Started 3rd in my heat last night was up to 2nd going for first when my handling went away.... well I ran over a screw in the pits or on the track and finished 6th with a flat.  Started the feature 11th had a decent run going on the high side and then a caution came out, had to restart on the inside and lost a few spots again finished 12th.  Rained out today.  Im hoping for a win this yr or I might jus thave to hang it up. LOL

Finished 3rd in my heat last night in Manitowoc. Feature rained out.

Tonight in Beaver Dam the rain storms came before any racing happened.

Sun Prairie tomorrow night.

Started 12th and finished 9th. The year of poor qualifying is continuing. I had the car loose as evening fell as the track normally tightens up but not last night. Car was WAY to loose. Out of 4 races I have been in there have been a red in all of them. Bad crash last night with a driver having to be cut from the car. She was complaining  that her leg hurt from what I heard. One car blew a motor going into one and three cars piled in. I will tighten it up and try again next week.

The young lady is doing fine. Has a heavy bruise to her thigh and shin. Also is sore from the seat belts on her collar bones. Says she'll be back in a couple weeks. Working a chassis now. We blew a clutch on the restart after the red flag, but was slowing down and hitting the rev limiter coming out of the turns. At the moment, my driver thinks ODS has cursed us. Totaled car on the first night, get it back together with a used motor. go to practice on Friday and blow the motor after 12 laps then after locating another used motor, the clutch goes in it. Just trying get some seat time long enough to put some money together to buy a new one.

Oh, Well it is what it is :-\

Ya'll have a great Memorial Day.  :D

Thanks for your service Scott. :)

Last night was probably the most fun I've had driving.

17 cars showed up to Sun Prairie. Started 9th in heat 1, slowly worked the outside around everyone and took the win.

Had to start 9th in the feature. It took the full race to get up front working the top and bottom but I got around the leader with about 3 to go. The white and yellow came out and the next lap got the yellow/checkered.

I've never had a fast car there but we got it figured out and could run any line.
