May 28th update

My night shift assignment is finally over.  Most weeks have been 75 hours at work.  Little time for anything at all.  I am back to day shift and 40 hours a week.  

I have no sponsorships for either car so far this season, but then again, you can't get money if you don't ask.  I will race when and where the fun is.  And where and when the crew can attend.  I am hopeful that the modified will respond to adjustments much better after getting the frame repaired.  I suspect it was not perfect when we got it.

Sportsman:  The old sportsman car is spot on.  We won both races at the Icebreaker, and it ran flawlessly on May 19th for practice and the heat race before the rains came.  Was told that 32 cars were in attendance on the 19th.  Things are looking better at Big T.



I am considering running the next race at Thompson with the Sportsman car.  Money and smiles will be the biggest factors.

Modified schedule??? Plan to finish up car this week.  Hopefully can bring it to Brad’s shop to allow his eagle eye to look it over.  I will be running the Seekonk race on June 8th.  I will be skipping the Stafford Speedway event.  I currently plan to attend the race at Lee Speedway on June 28th.

I will be playing spotter for each of the Whelen Modified races, working with Sully Tinio’s #44 and driver Bobby Santos.  Great team.
See everyone at the Tracks.

Frame Repaired


Northeast Race Parts has replaced these parts of the frame of the 73 modified.  Several components were bent - these were the two biggest.  We are now trying to get the car back together to race at Thompson on the 19th, we'll see how quickly we can get it back into shape.
P.S. Congrats to Bobby Santos and the 44 Tinio team on their win at Stafford Speedway last week.
