I got my first run last night with the PRO-2 SC Truck that I modified into a Stadium Truck. I just think Stadium Truck is the most fun class out there to drive. Great night. The truck is a little loose on corner exit and the speedo required a lot of tuning to get it […]

Reverting Back Some days are tough. I’ve been working so hard on my Doctoral dissertation on how Thermonuclear Fusion effects my gas mileage during the winter that I have forgotten at times to have a little fun. Luckily for me Mike Rydwell at Exotek stepped in and gave me another purpose in life. Adding some […]
This Sunday was a little different for me as I got to run two classes with two Buggies. I made a few changes to the 5 this past week and finally got the Cubed running again with a little help from DualSky.
There are three jobs in racing I would rather pass the buck on to others but for distinct reasons I can’t or won’t. Going to the car wash after a night of racing to clean Tim Allison’s number 11 sprint car is one of them. Considering Tim pays my way in and it’s part of […]

Getting the Perfect Rear End. Have you ever gotten home from the store with “that” pair of jeans? The pair when you turn around and look in the mirror you just know you’ve found your favorite pair? The pair that will find you love; maybe heartache; or even faster lap times? When I brought home […]
This past Sunday I made my way back to The Factory for a club race. With the speed I’ve been finding, I was confident about finding more. On this day I tried out a rear sway and with a little more time with softer front springs and different Tire Choices and I feel things will […]
There are times in your life where a sign may tell you that your path needs to deviate. Perhaps 33 degrees and raining? Using a ditch on a hill to slow your car down because the road is a sheet of ice? Stopping to see if a stranded motorist in the ditch is ok? An […]
This past Sunday was the final race in a six race series for DJO Raceway and I held a one point lead in the Mod Buggy championship while continuing to run a legal 17.5 motor. As qualifying started I was feeling pretty good with TQ for round one and my quickest time during the day […]
