Today was a GOOD day with the best bike/sled turnout yet this year at Great Lakes Dragaway! 💪💪 Let’s keep that rolling and don’t think we’ve forgotten about who else we’d love to show up in the lanes 😉

Tad joined the guys and hung out on his own big tire bike while waiting in the lanes. 🫶🏼

Josh made it to the semis against some great competition and the weather was perfect.

Hoping for a repeat, or better, tomorrow!

Race weekend #2 recap 🏍️💨 (we are a whole race weekend behind)

It’s been a busy few weeks chasing a few issues on the bike, but we’re still going rounds and staying competitive. Josh Bixler was flying solo for weekend #2 and came out ready to work right off the trailer.

Saturday started strong with a .006 light, followed by a killer .001 first round reaction time. Josh stayed deadly on the tree all day and worked his way through the field to land in the finals for the second Saturday in a row. He threw out his “worst” light of the day with a .014 to the opponent’s .028, but couldn’t quite cover the number and came up just short of the win.

Sunday he came back swinging and grabbed the bye run after posting the best reaction time of the only time trial. Unfortunately with an even number of bikes and sleds, he had to race for it anyway. He carried the bye through first round before getting beat on the tree in round two and was chased down on the top end.

Overall, not a bad weekend at all and plenty to build on. We loaded up with a list of things to fix and went right back to work getting ready for race weekend #3… recap coming in a couple days 👀🔥

A special thank you to a couple people:
Morgan Bixler for making all of this possible, Kyle Collins and Midwest Muncie Jeff Collins for helping Josh all weekend, Robin Norris for running a great program for us, and Mr. Fabulous Photography for the incredible photos.

Race Recap – Opening Weekend 🔥

We’re back!

Opening weekend was a solid one for Bixler Racing. Both Josh and Blake got back in the saddle after some time off—and in typical fashion, we were still wrenching on the bikes Friday night 😅

Saturday:
We rolled into time runs chasing a shifting issue on Blake’s bike. Got it partially sorted and made a clean second hit. Josh? Picked up right where we left off last May 💪
Blake went out first round, while Josh had to buy back—but drove the old KZ all the way to the finals, ending the day runner-up after being a little late on the tree.

Sunday:
Only one time run and both bikes decided to act up…
Blake’s issue came back, and Josh’s bike wouldn’t shift either.

Quick thrash mode:
✔️ Blake’s shifter was off a tooth — fixed
✔️ Josh had a wire knocked off the shift button — fixed

First round with basically no data…
Blake made a clean pass but broke out. Josh rushed to the line after last-minute repairs and went -.003 red.

Not the results we wanted—but we shook the rust off, found the issues, and got Blake some valuable seat time. Josh is getting back in his groove.

Race weekend #1 = success.

On to weekend #2!

Thank you to Morgan Bixler, Thomas Bixler, Jen Mathis, Tim Bixler, Lisa Omlor Bixler for all the support this weekend!

📣Another round of recap from the last couple years 📣

Everyone, this is Tad. Josh and Morgan’s son who is now just over a year old! 🩵

Not only did our team bring home championships, divisional titles, and bragging rights for making it to worlds, but we brought home the next generation of Bixler’s in February of 2025!

Tad got to witness history being made during our exciting 2024 season from the comfort of the inside of his mamas belly (not so comfy for mom 😆). And he visited his daddy, grandpa Tim, and uncle Thomas for races at the home track during the 2025 season.

We’re so excited for him to get to experience more racing, spend time with our race family and see what daddy and grandpa have been up to in the shop this year!

Get ready to see this cutie pie running around, cheering on his family and friends! 🩵🏁
