I have come to the conclusion that Calendar’s lie. According to the grid on my wall Spring was to have sprung over a month ago, yet here I sit, hours away from a race track with traces of white stuff still in my yard. Continue reading “Spring???!!!!”
Rain in Ohio…
Last weekend (April 9th) I attempted to kick off spring with some great dirt-track racing action; unfortunately the weather was uncooperative. A forecast of 70º and sunny for Eldora Speedway turned to 53º with nasty thunderstorms in the blink of an eye washing away the chance of the Saturday night portion of the Coca-Cola Spring Classic.

A florescent orange car is not easily overlooked; but when that car is the #15 driven by Jon Henry fans and drivers alike definitely take notice.

An Awesome Week of Speed in Florida
When most people think of spending a wintery week in Florida it is images of sandy beaches, flip-flops, and sunscreen that come to mind; but I’ve never really been like most people and when I thought of a week in Florida, one primary thing came to mind, auto racing!
From February 12-18th I soaked up some sunshine from not only those beautiful sandy beaches, but from some great grandstand seats. Continue reading “An Awesome Week of Speed in Florida”
8th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament
This past weekend I attended the 8th annual Michigan Short Track Racing Club Bowling Tournament; and although my bowling skills would have easily landed me in a B or C main I had a blast attempting to bowl and catching up with friends.
This annual event held at the Capitol Bowl in Owosso, MI is not only a great way to beat the mid-winter racing withdrawals, but it is all for a great cause. Continue reading “8th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament”
Sno*Drift 2011…A thrilling weekend in Northern Michigan
It was an exciting weekend in Montmorency Co. with the normally serene woods filled with the rumble of engines and hiss of turbo’s. On January 28-29th a county typically void of traffic and containing not a single traffic light was filled to capacity for the 2011 Sno*Drift Rally.

David Sensiba is Still Exciting Fans
Arena racing is alluring for many reasons, it’s a great winter-time diversion, an opportunity for young drivers to hone their skills and place for some pretty big stars to have fun in little cars.

Arena Racing is Family Fun
Last weekend I had an amazing time at a stock-car race in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I know that it sounds funny, but on January 8th and again on February 5th there is true stock car racing within the confines of the Grand Rapids DeltaPlex.
Happy New Year Everyone!
2011 is officially here and with it brings the promise of another great racing season, the only hard part is waiting for it to arrive. I myself am not really great on patience, so I will be kicking off the 2011 racing season at the end of this month (January 28-29th) on the snow and ice covered back roads of Montmorency County (Michigan).
Merry Christmas From Gaylord!
