Well folks, it's race time pretty soon. We have our new schedule; 10 races in all, 8 at RMR, 1 at Magic Valley (Twin Falls) and the last race of the season in Las Vegas. Also, 5 of the races are Western States races bringing in Sprints from all over the western US. Just what we need, more teams with more money than sense. In addition, I read in the April Circle Track magazine that Toyota is sponsoring 2 Western States sprints this season. Guess they had some money left over from NASCAR ! ! ! The good news is that we have picked up the US Government as a sponsor in the form of a $1200 rebate check.

April 26 - Well the first race is in the books, not good but not bad. Miserable weather with a temperature in the 50's during the day and low 40's at race time. During the main, which we made by finishing 1st in the B-Main, Jimbo got turned around coming out of turn 2 and spun into the infield. Then the flagman waited until he was 3 laps down before they finally decided to throw the yellow. Don't know why they waited 3 laps ! ! ! (Note: On all other spins during the race, they threw the yellow immediately) He was running good for the remainder of the race, but could not overcome the 3 lap down situation. Still, he managed a 14th place finish. Very discouraging. Not counting any wear and tear on the engine/car and transportation to the track expenses, it cost us $1368 to compete and the payout was $255, leaving a $1133 loss for the night. We can't afford many night like this one.

The only encouraging sign is the Toyota engines qualified 13th, 15th and 17th and finished 5th, 20th and 21st. All that money did not get them too much.

May 10 - Well, we were snake-bit again. During the main, a leaky brake caliper caused a puff of smoke going into the corners. Jimbo being on the cautious side decided to stay out of everyone's way. This worked well for 23 laps until 3 laps from the end of the race, they decided to black flag him. Hell, if the USAC Pit Stewart (same one that put us down 3 laps in the previous race) thought it was an issue, why didn't he black flag us before we wasted all the fuel ? ? ? Again, an expensive night that put us way down, almost impossible for us to recover this season. For the rest of the season, we will probably race a little and try to keep our expenses under control. Right now we will probably pass on the Western States races since they have a history of eating money.

May 26 - Our most successful outing this season. We actually broke even financially, probably because the race was canceled due to rain and we didn't even have to drive to the track.

After 8 years of results on the same page, we decided to modernize our layout and place each years results on a separate page. Now you click on the year heading and, viola, you are magically transported to a separate page highlighting that years results.
