Kody Weisner & UNOH – A Winning Combination
For young Kody Weisner nothing comes quite as naturally as strapping in behind the wheel of a racecar. The third-generation driver who calls Muskegon, Michigan home has been around the dirt tracks for as long as he can remember, “It’s just one of those things where it’s in the blood”.

Learning Comes Fast @ UNOH
The University Of Northwestern Ohio in Lima, Ohio is probably the most unique accredited college in the nation.
It’s not the great praise for academics that this college receives, nor the fact that it was the first university to offer a degree in Automotive High Performance that really set it apart; No, what really makes UNOH stand apart is their awesome speedway and race teams.

SJO Super Cross Racing
For most of my life when I thought of racing it was always centered on the four-wheeled variety…but then five years ago all that changed. It wasn’t an amazing race that got me tuned into Super-Cross racing instead it was little Gunnar Buhr who at the age of two introduced me to his first vocabulary words of “Ahhhmaha” (Yamaha) and “Suzuki” and colors like “KTM Orange”. Continue reading “SJO Super Cross Racing”
Drag Racing…What A Blast!!!
“WOW!”…That is the only word that really truly describes top-fuel drag racing.
