Strong car count for the first race of the season with thirty two cars total. We timed in eleventh with a 14.455. The heat race we started fifth row inside and finished fourth. The Feature we started second row outside and finished in second place. Congrats to Lyle Nowak for his second Spring Opener Feature win!

Rained/snowed out. Way too cold to go racing!!

Friday May 16 - LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway, West Salem WI
We were unable to attend this race because we were in Florida for the week. We renewed our wedding vows for our twenty fifth wedding anniversary in Gatorade Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway. We spent the rest of the week at Disney World celebrating with family and friends.

Postponed

Saturday May 31 - Dells Raceway Park, Wisconsin Dells WI
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!

Saturday June 14 - Wisconsin International Raceway, Kaukauna WI
There were a total of twenty six cars. We had a time of 21.785 which put us fifteenth in time. The heat race we started front row outside and finished fourth. The Feature we started eight row inside and finished in eighth. Congrats to Jake Finney for his first Mid-American Feature win!

Saturday June 28 - 141 Speedway, Francis Creek WI
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 four 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 5 - Marshfield Super Speedway, Marshfield WI
We were fourteenth in time with a 20.21out of twenty two cars. The heat race we started on the pole and finished fifth. The Feature we started seventh row outside and finished fourteenth. Congrats to Brian Bach for winning the Feature!

Saturday July 19 -  Wisconsin International Raceway, Kaukauna WI
There were a total of thirty 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
We didn't have our normal forty five to fifty car count for Milwaukee, but still had a good showing with a total of thirty four cars. We timed in with a 32.864, 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. Found out once we got the car home that the wrong master cylinders were put on the car. No wonder the car did not want to slow down and turn!! Congratulations to James Swan for fast time and Ross Zumbach for winning the big race and his first ever Feature!

Saturday September 13 - Marshfield Super Speedway, Marshfield WI
Rained Out.

Saturday September 20 - Madison International Speedway, Oregon WI
There were a total of thirty three cars and we timed in twenty fourth with a time of 20.072. Car was awesome in the second practice session. We were fourth overall in that practice session with a 19.650. Before qualifying Late Models were doing their last practice and one hit the wall, which put down oil dry and of course we were the third car to time in and the track was terrible. We started fourth row outside of the last chance race and finished third. The Feature we started ninth row outside and finished fourteenth. We fought brake issues all night and by the end of the Feature all we had was fourth gear and had to be pushed off the track. Congratulations to Lyle Nowak for winning the Feature!

Sunday September 28 - Rockford Speedway, Rockford IL
We timed in with a 14.379, which put us fourteenth in time out of thirty cars. For some reason we can time in good and make the show at Rockford, but no other track??? The heat race we started on the pole and went straight back and finished sixth. The Feature we started seventh row outside and after being involved in a crash and not finishing the Feature we placed nineteenth. Congrats to Adam Mass for winning the Feature!

Saturday October 4 - LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway, West Salem WI
LaCrosse along with Milwaukee always seems to draw the cars. There were a total of thirty seven Mid-Am cars. We timed in twenty first with a 21.382. The heat race we started second row inside and finished in second. The Feature we started eleventh row inside and finished in fourteenth place. Congrats to James Swan for winning the Feature and being the Mid American points champion again this year!!

Saturday October 25 - Road America, Elkhart Lake WI
Did not make it to Road America. Called it quits for the season after LaCrosse.
