We timed in twelfth out of twenty four cars with a
14.995. The heat race we started second row inside and finished fourth. The
Feature we started on the pole and held the position until a crash happened in
the middle of turn three and four and we hit water and spun. After we spun
another car came in and hit us in the right front (he had no where else to go)
and bent our upper A-frame. After that the car was not handling good at all and
we ended up in eight. Congrats to Kyle Shear for fast time and a new track
record and congrats to Bill Prietzel for his Feature win!

Thank God we only race at this track once a year
because we always have problems at this track!! We timed in with a 12.722, which
put us twenty second in time out of twenty eight cars. Because of rain the heat
races were cancelled. We did not make the Feature by time and had to run the
Semi-Feature. We started fourth row inside and was running in fourth place (top
4 transferred) when we lost power. It ended up being the distributor. Congrats
to Crystal Wood for her first Mid-American Series Feature win!

Saturday July 19 -
Wisconsin International Raceway, Kaukauna WI
There were a total of 30 cars at KK. We were twenty
first in time with a 20.824. There were no heat races because of rain coming in.
We had to run the Semi-Feature and started outside front row of that. Crystal
Wood started on the inside of us and her car pushed up in the middle of turns
three and four, which got us sideways and put us back to sixth. We ended up in
fourth place, which put us in the Feature. The Feature we started last and
finished nineteenth. Congrats to Kyle Shear for his Feature win!
Saturday July 26 - Dells Raceway Park,
Wisconsin Dells WI
We timed in with a 15.116, which put us twentieth
in time out of twenty seven cars. There were no heat races and we had to take a
provisional to make the Feature. The first Feature we started last and finished
tenth. The second Feature we started third row inside and finished in fourth.
Our overall finish was sixth place. Congrats to Kenny Josten for winning the first
Feature and Tim Schmidt for winning the second Feature!
Saturday August 16 - Wisconsin
International Raceway, Kaukauna WI
We finally got the Dodge done and overall we were
happy with the performance. There were a total of twenty eight cars and we timed
in tenth with a 21.437. That was our fastest time we have turned at KK and only
had twelve laps on the car! The heat
race we started second row outside and finished third. The Feature we started on
the pole and that was a crazy race from the beginning. First we were taken three
wide (we were the middle of the sandwich) and then the car behind us buried his
nose under our back end and spun us (he also had help from the car behind him).
Then Obermeyer coming out of turn four body slammed us (he might of been
watching to much wrestling this past week). Well, to finish off the crazy
Feature we finally made our way back up to a top ten after going to the back of
the pack and our breaks went out. We ended up finishing the night in fifteenth.
Thank goodness we took a lot of pictures before that race because our nice new
car doesn't look so pretty any more ;o). Congrats to Jake Finney for winning
another Feature at KK!
Friday and Saturday August 22 and 23 -
Milwaukee Mile, West Allis WI

with a 32.7, which put us eighteenth in time. The only race we had was the forty
lap Feature. The Feature we started outside row nine and finished in nineteenth
place. The car did not want to turn all weekend and was loose off.

race and his first ever Feature!
