We announced that we were wrapping up the season after our last engine failure. Here are some pics from throughout the year! Even though it was cut short and we barely got to race, we had a blast, From racing at the new West Virginia Motor Speedway with the Ohio Valley series to making new friends and learning a bunch of things. Our offseason work begins soon, lots of changes, and prepping for anything that might come our way next year. We would like to thank our awesome sponsors who took a chance on a small team from PA!

THATS A WRAP ON 2026!
We’ve made the hard decision to call it a year already…… with engine problems left and right we decided to just take the time, build a few and take our time so we can hit the dirt next year flying! There were so many things we planned on doing that we just didn’t get to do, weekend races, series races and especially, king of compacts…. we have a plan to come back next year stronger and more prepared for anything that happens, we will post regular updates during the offseason, and what we’re doing to prep for next year. Thanks to our sponsors and everyone that’s helped this year! Good luck to all our friends at King of Compacts and for the rest of the year!

We were granted the opportunity this week to wheel a car at dog hollow thanks to Mike Phillipson. Took awhile to get used to the SI chassis but towards the end of the night it was getting more comfortable. We started towards the tail of the feature and worked our way up to somewhere around 5th before the power steering went out. Super impressed with this type of car! Will we see a 18x on the side of an SI next year?

Last Weekends video has been uploaded! Unfortunately we’ve blown another motor…We think after having the oil pressure sensor come loose at Clinton County and loosing a bunch of oil led to loosing another one.. We will find another, rebuild and come back!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

What a weekend…….. We kicked off the weekend at Dog Hollow on friday, started 3rd in the heat and finished 2nd, started 3rd in the feature and ended up taking a DNF after running top 3 all night, we had a bolt break on the top of our rear trailing arm spinning us out and making some contact with 2 other cars. The crew hit it hard Saturday morning to get it fixed to run Marion Center, We started 1st in the heat and finished 2nd, we layed down the fastest lap of the night while running the heat. Then the chaos ensued, rolled off 4th feature and after getting slammed off the corner, watching someone jump the start, and a questionable lineup on a restart we ended up finishing 4th. While crossing the scales the motor sounded very unhealthy, we believe loosing oil at clinton county last week has caught up with us, we’re not done. We will rebuild, we know we’re fast. We know who’s running us over on the track. We will be back💪

Last night we made the haul to Path Valley Speedway to continue shaking down the car. Overall we had a pretty good night, First time back at the track since 2023, and with the hatch, went 5th quickest in hot laps, finished third in the heat race then, was running somewhere between 8th-10th when a red flag came out and we ended up rear ending someone when the red flag came out and taking out the radiator,wreck happened right in front of us and just couldn’t see it so when the two cars in front of us jacked the breaks we were a little slow to stop, but we’re just happy to know after we fix it back up we can hit the track next weekend with full speed! Thanks to everyone that came out and helped along with all of our sponsors!
