Teresa's figure 8 race

The demo derby

08/03/2026

We had an awesome time participating in Crashin Hackett's Night of Destruction. Matt ran his beloved Subaru again this year in the figure 8 race and a Lexus in the demolition derby. Teresa hopped in an Isuzu for the women's figure 8 boat race. No one got any trophies, but we had a blast.

We could really use some help grtting a car ready so we can get back to the track. The OG 25 is trashed, so we are working on another chassis. It still needs some metal fabrication on the front end (bumper bars, body hangers, radiator supports) and the motor swapped. PM us if you can or want to pitch in.

We are looking for a couple of crew members to help us out, particularly at Caraway on race days.

*Post races update* We apologize. We've been dealing with some personal stuff and have forgotten to update. For those who don't know, we will be exclusively racing at Caraway this season. There are no plans to race BGS at all. We will likely come watch and hang out at the stadium when we aren't at Caraway, so we'll be around.
3/28-The car was not good, but better than the race before. Fought through and brought her home 8th.
4/11-Thanks to another mini stock driver and their crew guy who helped work on the car while we dealt with personal stuff, we felt like we were in decent shape. Twin 10-lap races proved interesting. We were finally finding a line and some speed. Race 1-Handicap starting order put us 3rd. Lap 1, turn 1, another car cut our nose spinning us in front of the field. Luckily, none of the other cars hit us and we were able to recover and finish 10th. Race 2-We happily started shotgun since we are still working out bugs. The car picked up a nasty carb sputter, so Matt just rode the back. Coming out of turn 2, the sputter suddenly cleared while full throttle, the car caught traction, and shot Matt like a bullet into the inside wall on the backstretch. Waited for the caution to get back right without crashing the field. No caution was thrown. We allowed the field to pass, turned the car around, and brought her in right on the trailer. Another 10th place finish and a tore up car. Once daylight came, we got a better look at the ol' Jezzie and it was pretty ugly. We are working hard to be ready for the May 2 race. See everyone soon.

We made the trip to Caraway yesterday. We had nothing but problems all day. 1st practice, leaking valve cover. Fixed it and cranked it to check for leaks...starter solenoid started smoking. Thanks to AJ, we were able to replace it only to find the starter acting up. Push started it for 2nd practice and only got a couple warm up laps before the round ended land we qualified dead last. Working on the starter issue, the car lost all power. Thank to Chuck for the coil! That wasn't the problem, but we know that now. Turned out to be a wiring issue that Chris P was able to work around. We still had to push it off for the race, but we are so thankful to run. It wouldn't have been possible without the help of Robbie White and T.j. Gibson who helped work on the car. The race was uneventful for us. We didn't light the track ablaze, but we ran every lap, brought it home without a scratch, and learned a lot about where we can find speed. There was some disputes with the finishing order, so we are unsure of the official results. But wherever we finished, we are happy with our run after overcoming all of the challenges. We have 2 weeks to work on her and we will be back, better than before.

We made sure to have a little fun despite all of the work!
