All of our family for their undivided support and patience
And all of our amazing racing friends who have helped us along the way.

It has been a whirlwind season with struggles but the entire time he has met the battles head on and overcome it all. He is determined and he has the fire 🔥 that burns in every racer’s heart, the passion that drives them to work hard, try harder, race harder. This sport is not easy, these kids are true athletes in every aspect of the word. I often refer to race weekends as marathons because that is truly how it feels, from sun up until way past bed time for an average 9 year old you will find him working his absolute hardest to improve with every lap. We are so proud of our driver and the growth he has shown, it’s truly astonishing to see how easy he makes it look. Another year of racing in the books 🏁

The next time you see us there will be Christmas music on the radio and RUMBLING in the air!

It’s official!!! Congratulations to all our friends who made it too!

We can’t believe it!! Out of 40 competitors this kid ended up in the top 10 on his first season of the senior class! What an achievement! He had set the goal at the beginning of the season not realizing just how difficult it would be to obtain it.

After Saturday’s A main we were so proud of his driving and how far he has come, it didn’t matter to us that he finished 10th. But it mattered to him, it was the difference of a few points but it was just enough to give him that boost to the top 10!

I can’t wait to tell him tonight, he has been anxiously waiting for the points since the second that race was over 🤣

Thank you to our sponsors who got us here, most importantly, Dad, Papa, and Kyle for the never ending work they do to keep the cars in tip top shape!

Get home early and start scraping tires! 💪

This little rocket went to the A main! He had it up to 6th and had a soliddddd run! Cautions and weather worked against us and the car tightened up making it hard to drive. Finished at the back but never the less, we made the A!

Thank you to BRE for the bad fast 💨 motor!

And all of our sponsors!

Dad was able to piece together a car and we managed a podium finish!

We REALLY want to thank our sponsors who help us out so much!! We may or may not be begging for some support here soon 😅 but really, your faith in us and our driver is what keeps us going! Thank you so much!

And everyone else!!

It was another humbling day for this young driver. The Lt 160 took off like a rocket right out of the gate! Unfortunately it hit the wall going that fast and broke damn near everything in it. (Except the driver, he was completely unharmed thanks to our top notch safety gear).

So anyway, dad and Papa worked all night and have more work to do in the morning so hopefully we can race again tomorrow. This driver is taking it pretty well but very bummed that his babies are broken.

We live to fight another day!

He needed this win. Not for the points but for the confidence.

Crew chief dad is making the $$$ so we can keep doing what we love. So it was just Connor, Papa, and mom tonight.

Sr Honda…. Well the motor left the chat 😭

But Lt 160 babyyyyy he came back from a crappy loss and smashed the gas pedal down to bring home that checkered flag!!

Racing is such an up and down roller coaster. Feeling defeated by a mechanical mishap then coming out and getting the feature win 🥇

Friday Night Lights is done now we go club racing this afternoon!

Come out and support your favorite driver at the Indiana Fair Grounds!!! He may only be racing 1 car but he’s ready 🤣

Some weekends are made for learning and not always winning.

Connor’s cars were fast this weekend and he made some great moves but it was the small mistakes that ultimately ended his weekend quickly.
The competition was fierce and ready to pounce so they took every opportunity to get around him.

This will be something he has to learn to drive out of if he wants to keep his spot in the lead.

Even though there is no shiny trophy 🏆 at the end of this one, the experience will stand a life time.

The animal rained out and we got to come home early to rest up before school!

Thank you so much for your support on this endeavor.
