🏁 It’s Race Day! 🏁
We head into tonight sitting in the #1 points position by just a few points. It’s going to be a long night with a lot on the line, but we’re ready to give it everything we’ve got.

Time to stay focused, cut good lights, and take it one round at a time. Let’s see what happens! 💪🏆

Let’s race! #1423

It was amazing having family and friends celebrate Karson’s graduation party in the suite while he raced in the Gateway Heads Up Mafia TRG 7.90 Index Race. What a special day—celebrating a major life milestone while doing what he loves most.

The race lasted until 2:30 a.m., but the long night was worth it as we found ourselves back in the winner’s circle for the 5th weekend in a row. This final junior season has been incredible so far, and we’re making memories that will last a lifetime.

To make the night even more memorable, the final round came down to Karson and his girlfriend, Tori Nolan. It was great seeing them both have such a successful night and race each other for the win. We’re proud of them both and thankful for everyone who came out to celebrate and support Karson.

What a night, what a season, and we’re not done yet! 🏁🏆🎓❤️

Always a great race weekend. Huge thanks to Freddy Melecio for the kind words and support. This final junior season is turning into one for the record books. Through break downs, setbacks, and challenges, this team keeps pushing forward and finding ways to overcome it all. Now the focus shifts back to defending the #1 spot at WWTR and finishing this final season strong. The hard work, determination, and memories being made will last a lifetime.

Always tough competition at the Bernie Mann No Box Delay National’s at Wabash Valley Dragway. It was an awesome final round matchup between the 1st place points leader at Wabash Valley and the 1st place points leader at Worldwide Technology Raceway.

Karson continues to stay on a roll, taking home 3 out of the 4 championship races we’ve attended at Wabash Valley. Next time we return here, Karson will be behind the wheel of a big door car. It’s bittersweet knowing this is his final year in Juniors, but the memories, friendships, and lessons from this journey will last a lifetime.

We’re focused on chasing a championship in this final season, but as everyone knows in drag racing, anything can happen. Next up is a special one Karson’s graduation party at the track along with the fun TGR Heads Up 7.90 class. Looking forward to making even more memories next weekend.

A productive rainy day in the books. After a long weekend of racing, we’re already getting prepared for Memorial Day Weekend at No Box Madness in Terre Haute, Indiana.

We finally got the original OG motor back, so it was time to put it back in as the secondary setup. During our first big race weekend, we broke the new motor one pass after a win. It was unfortunate, but a team of people help get us back in to 1st Round. Thanks Matt Nolan for loaning us a clutch setup and continue racing for 5 other Races. That motor has been good to us, but for now it’s time to go back to what’s proven.

Karson had a successful weekend at No Box Nationals last year, and we’re hoping to carry that momentum into this year’s race. This one means a little more to us. Our dear friend Rich Miller would’ve been there with us this weekend, but now he races in another life. Cameron Thomas, time for another adventure. We are all ready loaded up ready to go.

This weekend, every pass is for Rich. ❤️🏁

What a weekend. From the graduation stage straight to Point Series Race #3 for the 75th Anniversary Wally Challenge. Unfortunately, around 12:15 AM Saturday night, our run ended in the quarterfinals and with it our only shot at bringing home the silver Wally. Karson was exhausted and hit his worst light of the season, but he came right back today and laid down a killer 3 total package.

Point Series Race #4 didn’t disappoint as Karson took home the WIN. Now that’s one heck of a graduation gift. 🏆🎓

We were sorry to miss Richard Miller’s Memorial Race, but we know he was looking down on Karson today. Next weekend we’ll honor him by racing the tradition race he always attended with us.

Off to a great start this season — 3 out of 4 Point Series races ending in 1st place 🥇

Video coming soon! Thanks Matt Nolan for sponsoring our last few races with borrowed parts. New motor is being installed this week.
