oke his back. He sat out the season, but was determined to come back with a new fire. In 2003 Campos was back on the track, this time he was driving a Larry Shaw Super Late Model, and he was ready to run with the best of the best. In his first year in this class, he was winning trophy dashes, and starting to make his mark. It was this year one of the big racers from California gave John his name: “Lightnin'”. In 2014 Campos bought his first IMCA Modified and never looked back. He now has 2 IMCA Modified State Championships, 2 Track Championships and an IMCA Wild West Modified Speedweek Championship under the belt of his flame suit. in 2021 John made the trek all the way to Boone IA and raced his way into the Fast Shafts all star race.

It's time to give some shout out's!

All of these pictures are from Speedweek- credit to Tammi Campos.

It takes a village to get the Mighty 36 on the track these days, and we are forever grateful for all of you who have stepped in and stepped up. Please forgive me if I have missed you - this is Bry and I'm sure there are more people who helped John that I don't know about.

Bj and Tiana at Wicked Wild Designs made John's wrap happen in record time and we love it!

Dr. Andrew at NW Family Chiropractic continues to be an invaluable member of this team and family. For over 13 years he has been not only a family friend, but a family doctor.

Whisler Motorsports / Whisler construction, words are not enough. We know we could not have done this year without you.

Stacy Martinez at Stacy Martinez - Mortgage Marketplace jumped on board this year in a big way! She and her husband Chris are big fans and big friends. She's also one of the best mortgage brokers in the state of Oregon, and has THE MOST competitive rates when it comes to buying a home! If you are looking to buy, it's 100% worth calling her to see what she can do for you!

Bry at Real Estate Bry at Windermere Pacific West Properties. Well, that's me. Not to brag, but I do help the team 12 months a year... And - I'm a residential real estate agent, and would love to help you buy or sell in Oregon.
