Jackson Turner Overdrive

Haven't posted anything lately because there hasn't been anything to post. Just got word of our 4th practice day and 3rd race day cancellation at Skagit Speedway, along with 1 practice and 2 races cancelled at Grays Harbor Raceway, it's been a frustrating start to the season. All cancellations were due to weather, and/or forecasted weather. Next up is May 28/29 at Cottage Grove, Oregon. Would have never thought that our first race would be Memorial Day weekend. Hope to have some pictures and results in a couple weeks. In the meanwhile if anyone is looking for a nice addition to your racing shirt collection, my son Eric will be receiving his shirts from R&R Racewear within the next few days for his assault on the Wingless Sprint Series here in the Northwest. He will have them for sale at all WSS events for $20. Or if you would like one delivered to you by USPS $30 for a single shirt, $25 per shirt for two or more. All shirts are heather grey as shown. Contact me at [email protected] if your interested in a shirt.

Always some exciting times on road trips. After stopping for some dinner in Redding, CA we discovered a broken shackle on the trailer. Some quick thinking by MacGyver Jeff Jackson and were able to make manufactuure new ones in a mall parking lot and get back on the road.

Fire in the hole. Chased away all the little gremlins and got a test run on the engine today. Next stop Ventura, CA raceway for some driver training before our season begins. Stay tuned for an update from the the beach.

After a struggle on Sunday afternoon, caused by a pilot bushing issue, got the fresh engine in this afternoon. Always a sense of accomishment when I get the engine in and bolted up. A little plumbing and a little electrical and I'll have fire in the hole.

A few additions yet to go, but the old school theme clearly shines through. Big thanks to Tracey DeYoung for another great job at putting our ideas onto vinyl. And also Roland Kope for his painting expertise.

Northwest Focus Midget Series Schedule. We have committed to 21 races (orange highlight) with 11 potential ( O ) with the remainder being asphalt races. As a team we made the decision to not race the asphalt races a few years ago, and will continue to follow that plan. We will announce any schedule changes here.
