July 23rd Richard Schutte Tribute Night

Another great turn out for meet the drivers night. It was great to see and meet everyone who stopped by. Thanks to Bulk Zone Thunder Bay for supplying candy for the kids.

New sponsor shoutout to Velvet Rope Events and Design for coming on board for the rest of the season. Check out all their work they do for your next large event.

Results: Drew outside pole for our heat race but after staging we were unable to fire the car to get on the track. The issue was quickly found and we went straight to the rear of a Bmain.

Bmain: started 8th finished 2nd
Fought through traffic and was just able to make a transfer spot.

Feature: started 20th finished 15th
Was able to move forward and starting last which is always a good sign.

This weeks race is sponsored by Pioneer Construction Inc. which has been a part of our race program from day one.

Not knowing how the car would run we managed to get into the top 5 for most of the race until a late caution shuffled us back to finish 7th.

Thunder City Speedway Dirt Track Nationals Results Day 3-

After a long rain delay we were the second heat out on a greasy track started 7th finished 5th.

This put us 16th in passing points for the feature. The car was hooked up and felt great from the start and charged all the way up to 6th. Was hoping for more green flag laps.

Today is the Whiskey Row Classic. It will be my first time racing in this race. Ever since my dad won this race in 1997 I have always wanted to add my name to the trophy.

Huge thanks to our sponsors for the great season
