Catching a problem early is the difference between a quick turnaround and a catastrophic weekend. At the last **IHRA Outlaw event at Darana Raceway Park (National Trail Raceway)**, Matt noticed a cylinder starting to show a little moisture. Thankfully, he caught it right before the head gaskets decided to completely leave the chat!
A top-end teardown immediately ensued. The heads were rushed over to **Chris Fleenor at Level Performance** for a thorough check-up and a quick cleanup skim cut. After a few late nights and a serious team scramble, the cars were bolted back together and loaded up!
# # # 📍 Weekend Testing at Quaker City Motorsports Park
Because the Triple Crown event didn't feature Super Stock or our usual sportsman classes on the schedule, we shifted gears and headed out to **Quaker City Motorsports Park** for some crucial test passes before the next major IHRA Outlaw event.
* **Rodney & Rick:** Picked up right where they left off—consistent, fast, and dialed in. 🎯
* **Matt:** After a couple of solid baseline passes, the blue Cobra Jet is officially back to its previous performance standard! 🐍⚡
Now that the bugs are worked out and the cars are running strong, let's see if the guys can win some fuel money for the trip home! ⛽😂
Huge shoutout to the whole crew for thrashing to get us back on track, and to Level Performance for the quick turnaround!

Wired Up Racing Team Update: IHRA Spring Nationals! 🌧️

Yesterday at Darana Raceway in Hebron (NTR), the schedule got a little wild! In an effort to beat the rain Mother Nature is throwing at us this weekend, the IHRA decided to push through three rounds of Sportsman racing instead of the planned two qualifiers and a single round.

With three Wired Up cars running in Super Stock, we knew dodging each other in the brackets was going to be tough. Here is how the crazy day played out:

Round 1: Rodney and Matt both secured solid wins to advance! Rick had a tough run and initially took the loss, but caught a lucky break when his opponent was disqualified for missing the scales. Sometimes a little luck is all you need to stay in the game! 🍀

Round 2: Rick drove a close one but unfortunately broke out, taking just a little too much winning stripe at the finish line. Meanwhile, Rodney and Matt both turned on the win lights to keep charging forward! 💡

Quarterfinals: The matchup every team tries to avoid—teammate vs. teammate! Matt and team owner Rodney had to face off. Both guys went for it, but Matt pushed the tree just a hair too hard, going red by five-thousandths (-.005) and handing the win to the boss! 🚦😅

Rodney is absolutely on his A-game right now! Weather permitting, he’ll be heading into the Semi-Finals tonight. Let’s go, Rodney—carry that Wired Up banner all the way to the finals! 🏁🏆

Check out the photos from yesterday's action, including the boss and Matt facing off, and our littlest Wired Up fan giving the weekend a thumbs up! 👍🎧

Oh sweet Jesus! We finally rolled into Virginia Motorsports Park at about 3:15 AM with my legs cramping something awful. Now keep in mind, the girls had been sleeping in the back seat since likely 10:30 PM. The RAV4 had barely come to a stop when little Vera belts out in a loud and incredibly clear voice, "I want to party too!" I have absolutely no idea where that came from!
I had fully expected and planned to pitch my cot out in the trailer. But Matt, who arrived earlier, said Rodney and Nikki insisted we come into the motorhome where Matt had already set up my bed. At this point, everyone (the adults anyhow) is completely exhausted and ready for a couple hours of rest. But little Vera the night owl is still thinking about partying and has a serious case of the giggles.
Right about this time, the furnace kicks on. And it just happens to be directly above my cot! Well, tuck my legs up under my ears, slather me with butter, shove cranberries up my rear, and pop some tinfoil over me because I am suddenly a 180-pound Butterball in a giant air fryer!
Thank gawd Matt knew how to turn that thing down before my fully cooked pop-up timer went off. Just another weekend at the drag strip!

The Ax is Falling at the Track!
What a wild day for the RNR Racing crew!

The dirt was flying in the first round. Matt gave it everything he had, but unfortunately bowed out in an absolute nail-biter of a race. That "Blue Bucking Bronco" CJ put up a hell of a fight!

Meanwhile, Rodney is out here channeling his inner Paul Bunyan—literally chopping the tree down! He and Rick have officially advanced and are heading into the second salvo later today.

Current Status: Axing for trouble!

Let’s hear it for the guys as they gear up for Round 2. Let’s keep that momentum swinging big!

New Season, Same Mission: FULL SEND! ✈️

Nothing beats the sight of a Super Stocker on the bumper to start the year. Matt handled the power perfectly at Darana, and the whole Wired Up Racing crew is ready to roll.

Wishing a huge "Good Luck" to Rodney, Rick, and Matt as they take on the IHRA season opener!
