How do you handle the final Great Lakes Dragaway points race for the season when you are trying to secure championships? Well if you’re Tyler, just win!
We entered the season with no plans to “chase points” - it’s been many years since we have ran for points at a regular bracket program! It’s a difficult commitment in itself.
Tyler decided he would try, knowing he would miss two points races while racing with Luke Bogacki.
He came into the final weekend leading No Box and Junior Dragster and in second place in top eliminator. And that’s exactly where he finished. With two first places and a second!
Saturday he won no box and junior locking up those championships. A difficult slim chance of top still dangling out there on Sunday. That one didn’t work out, congratulations to Al Snyder!
The biggest thank you to Bruce Vanstraten for building and allowing Tyler to race that truck! Tyler’s favorite set of wheels, he has so much fun in that truck.
Unbelievable how fast the year is going and racing is winding down!
Some of our favorites yet to come this year.
We raced with Bud Smith and his family in our hearts this weekend and we continue praying for him. ❤️
Our sponsors make it all possible!

Happy Labor Day!! We have had a great weekend at Byron Dragway. One more day for Tyler Wied.
Carson made the final both Saturday and Sunday with a win on Sunday!
Tyler won no box Saturday, were he settled for a semi final finish in the main event after being .002 red. Sunday Tyler made it back to the no box final and with a doozy of a final he was .002 behind at the finish line. (.004 reaction time for Tyler to his opponents .007 dead .005 and was just .002 short)
Final day for Tyler, one more chance for that big check!

A weekend to recap!

Who to start with…
It was a divide and conquer, Keith took Carson racing and Buffy went to watch Tyler after a month of not seeing him.

Carson was racing in Coles County for the 4th annual Jim Hooper Memorial race. He waited until Sunday to win but it was a big one, his 100th win! He has won some great races. Thinking back to his very first at Byron Dragway, there are so many great memories between!!

Tyler was off in Bowling Green Kentucky, racing in his first national event. He made it to the finals in Super Street, and with the starting line advantage, he just couldn’t quite get the last win light to come on after being pushed under in a double breakout.
Tyler was also able to make his first full quarter mile pass in the top dragster for a new best fast time, 6.88 at 195 mph.

Tyler’s back home after his solo month adventure with Luke Bogacki Motorsports. Heading to Byron Dragway next and a few more great races yet this year. Hoping to finish strong 💪

Tyler Wied got it done!

Weekend recap!!!

For several years I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that the Wied brothers are incredible: they’ll be household names in our sport. Tyler definitely had his talent on display last weekend behind the wheel of the Moser Engineering Vega.

The highlight of our weekend was his Pro victory yesterday at World Wide Technology Raceway, after a great final round with Tommy Barbero. In total, Tyler’s weekend was far more impressive than the single victory. Between Beacon Dragway Friday night & St Louis, he entered 6 categories (3 box & 3 No Box). In addition to the win, he logged three semi final finishes, and one quarterfinal loss. His “worst” showing was a 5th round exit in Super Pro Saturday night with 9 cars remaining. The kid is special-it’s fun to watch.

And that’s good, because someone had to carry the flag for our camp!

Jack, Jess, and myself each went 0-for the weekend… Jack’s car continues to give me fits-he had no chance. Jessica made nice runs, just had two “coin flip” finish line decisions & chose wrong both times.

Our Top Dragster project continues to make strides; we’ve got a real competitive race car (& fast-I had a hard time slowing it down to run “Super Quick”)-but the driver was not so good this week! In This Is Bracket Racing Jr., we try to simplify our complex game. I tell the kids all the time, “either get there first by a little… or get there last by a lot.” Well, this weekend I decided to get there last by a little twice-and I can confirm it’s not a great strategy!

The only Bogacki that did anything of note this week was Gary; he advanced to the semi-final round Saturday night (which was actually 2:30 Sunday morning).

Super short turnaround this week as Jess & Tyler will set sail for Beech Bend Raceway Park tomorrow. They’ll run the divisional, and then the boys and I will join them Friday after school for the Sports Nationals!

I spy a Moser Vega and Tyler Wied

Race Weekend Recap:
Friday Tyler lost fourth round with a .004 reaction to his opponents .003 total (.001 reaction and dead .002). He did earn himself beat losing package which was a set of roller rockers from Harland sharp!

Saturday Tyler was locked in! With an average .008 reaction time and only .006 spread through the first 5 rounds off the bottom, he was rolling. Round 6 with 13 racers left, he had his worst light of the weekend (.024) His opponent made a great lap after they were .005 and ended his day.

Sunday he made it through round one when Mother Nature took over and the rain came.

He had tons of fun, thrashed a little between rounds and couldn’t have done it without Matt Dadas taking him in for the weekend!

Thank you Luke Bogacki Motorsports for trusting him to take the Vega and have fun.
And to everyone who helped him thrash throughout the weekend, THANK YOU! Tyler is incredibly lucky to have so many people willing to help him chase this crazy racing dream. 🏁❤️
