Update
We have the new car. There is still some debate over which car to run. I think the old one is shot and should be crushed. Bill wants to use it and save the new car for next season. I will post a few pics when I can.

New season approaches
I would like to welcome back Strickland Flooring for the 09 season. This will be Stricklands 4th year sponsoring the team. This coming season we will be bringing out a new car. The old car was to damaged to the point it was going to cost the same either way. The team will also have two Hornets joining us. Carl Martin (20) and David Vandresser (88). Should make for an exciting season.
In other team news, we have begun the start up of the 100 mph Heroes Foundation. The goal of the foundation is to assist families and individuals with medical needs with transportation assistance. As with all charities, we rely on donations to fund the program. I will announce more on this when we have a plan to set in motion.
That's all for now. See at the swap meet.

What! It better be made of gold!
Well, I was in the market for a new car to run the 09 season. But, evidently there has been a lot crack smoking going on in the class. I just find it hard to buy a rolling chassis less engine for $3500- $4000 grand. Especially ones that are unproven. I guess maybe I should sell mine with engine for $8000? I mean really, it's a proven winner unlike some. Hell, I think it would be a sweet deal. Then I can build a new car and stick the other $4000 in my pocket.

Lets get real
Why are we trying to wussify racing?
I mean really, you are going to have fans and crews who are going to cheer for you and those that are going to jump up and down when you wreck or break. It's just part of the sport. I can give you an example. I was watching one of the DVD's and I had won the dash and in the back ground someone yells that I suck. I actually found it rather funny. See the thing is is that I understand how it works. I was raised knowing that nothing is fair. Not everyone is going to like you or cheer for you. You are going to lose and you are going to win. If that dose of reality is what bothers you then I suggest you find something else to do.
It just floors me when I read how this person was cheering when such and such wrecked or what ever. I don't care which angle you approach it. This is a competitive sport and a very passionate one. So, please don't ruin it because Billybob might get a complex.

Yeah! last night
Congrats to Kyle on your championship and Troy for ROTY.
For the night we timed in at 14.900 and started 2nd in the dash finishing 3rd. For the main we started 11th and DNF'd somewhere. I really didn't bother to look. For the season we finished 7th in points with 2 Dash wins, 3 heat wins and 1 Main win.
The season as a whole was a mixed bag. The disappointing part was leading in 2 Mains and snapping an axle in one and blowing a tire in the other. Finishing those 2 would have shot us right into the middle of the points race. I guess you can sit here and if and but it to death and it really wont change anything.
I can say that I have never seen such bad driving and officiating then I did on Saturday. The driving part I can understand with the points being as close as they were. The officiating to me was just pathetic. For example, I come out of 4 on the start and have the bottom groove and all the sudden the 8 is coming down. My front tire is outside his door and I have position but nope like he always does he keeps coming and spins. So, what happens? I get sent to the rear. How about the 30 and 20 Hornet? The 20 has position going into 1 and backs out as the 30 chops him. Then the same thing going into 3 and this time the 20 doesn't back out. The 30 spins and the 20 goes from passing for 2nd to the rear. I could keep going but I wont.
For the 09 season we will be back in the Streets. I had hoped to move up but I am not going to gamble on the money being there to do so. Our sponsorship with Wish Upon A Hero will continue and we will be starting the 100 mph Foundation to help people pay for automotive repair costs. I will give out more info as this develops.
In closing I would just like to say good luck to those running in Wyoming on the 11th and to those going Sandia and Las Vegas later this month.

Here we go again.
Man! Someone just shot me and get it over with! LOL
We timed in 10th and won our heat by a country mile. Then fate smiled on us again and put us on the pole for the 50 lap feature.
In the main we stretch out about a straight away lead and slowly the handling starts to go to the loose side. After awhile, the 11 (Dewberry) caught up and I battled him as long as I could until he was outside and I let him go to keep from wrecking both of us. I then followed him since we were still pulling away from everyone. Then on lap 30 something we blew out a tire coming out of two. I tried to move the car to head to the pits for a quick change but, the car wouldn't move leaving me waiting for a tow and the guaranteed damage to my car.
Once in the pits we were done. The tire had wrapped itself around the diff and wasn't coming off with out a fight. We ended up 15th after leading a little over half the race.
Not much else to talk about so, see ya the 27th.
