Racing This Weekend

I am racing in the USRA Hobby Stock division at Murray County Speedway in Slayton, MN tonight and Nobles County Speedway Saturday and Sunday for the Worthington Nationals...
I posted some videos from worthingtons track and racing action on my youtube www.youtube.com/findthetornado I am going to try to setup an incar camera possibly for these events.

heres my car from the side were finishing up work now on it...



heres the numbers steve did for the car, he made larger ones but due to the fact white on white wouldn't stand out very much I had a buddy who does local work do the large orange numbers, thanks steve I like your numbers but we didnt get around to paint the car the color we planned on!



As always a thanks to my Dad...(logo on our partially enclosed trailer)

Hey Andy I didn't know you raced cars. How do you like dirt oval racing?

I used to do road course racing in the SCCA and COMMA and still have my track car. One of these days I plan to get back into it when I have some money again.

Yes I have been racing since 2003 (last year and this year I kept pulling the car out just once or twice to stay as an active driver)... We are probably moving back up to A-Modifieds again or Street Stocks next year and probably will run about half the races...

Had some transmission problems in the heat race so I pulled off early in that, in the feature we got those problems corrected however the car was bogging down really badly and I wasn't able to do much but tag along at the back of the field, one of the fastest in the class broke an axle on a restart and rolled 6 times right beside me, his wheel actually landed on my hood, he was ok, I was really going to try to setup an incar camera, woulda been a hell of a shot had I gotten that setup... anyway, just wanted to work out all the bugs and still have a long night and morning ahead of us to get ready for tommorow and Sunday (which is the whole reason I got the car out anyway), changing carbs and the starter went out after the race was over (go figure)...

Was able to finish the event tonight at the Murray County Speedway
11th place finish out of 16 that started the A-Feature in the USRA Hobby Stocks

We do a little racing ....lol
Gave this car to my oldest daughter when I got my new car done



My new car




Some times I like to do the 2 wheel thing


Back in my early days drag bike racing (1986)


I`ve also been known to do a 6hr off road race on 4 wheels


My youngest daughter likes racing also



one of my daughters


even a little dirt track in my blood


I also like to mix it up on H2o

Before the new paint job



I like to go play down in Okla at the sand dunes



back in the 90`s I liked to smash cars on weekends



Now days on off race weekends I like to go hunt tornados ROTFLMAO

I can honestly say when I raced modifieds weekly the Dirtworks car I had was magic. The Harris car I could take or leave! Nice Monster truck, I'm sad to say good sir but I would rather eat salads for a year than watch more than 5 minutes of drag racing...

Also I really like road racing wish I could give that a try Bart!
Steve I have always wondered, have you ever hit a fish when racing on the water, that looks like ALOT of fun.

Yea I`m not a fan of watching "any racing" thats why I`m a racer....lol
Racers dont make good fans....rotflmao

I love racing my mods
that red car was my 2nd Dirt Works car and I wouldnt have anything else
I`ve had many others but none of them were as easy to drive and set up as the Dirt Works cars.


Yea I have hit and killed many fish and even had a small one hit me and land on the motor back in 2005.
