I was able to start my late model racing career when Tom was driving for Ron Dye of Holts Summit. Tom had decided he was ready to slow down some and Ron asked me to fill in. Tom was a great role model and offered a lot of great advice from years of experience. Tom always had kind words to say...
Casey, No I don't have anything left racing related. It got to where I didn't have the time to prepare the car the way I felt was needed. Some guy with a 14 year old son from North Carolina thought he needed everything I owned so I made his day! LOL
Casey good luck with your track!!! I hope everyone rolls up their sleeves and supports you not just stand on the sidelines and bash the little things! best of luck!!

D55
The D55 tire is the big equalizer between the ULMA and crate engine. If I was putting together a late model to run at MCS it would definately be with a 604 crate. That is based on the cost savings and ability to race several tracks and series in the area with that package. The 604 crate...

track support
I think in 2008 fuel prices were high, weather was only good on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and people used both of these as excuses to stay home. I know this was the case for me as I did a terrible job of supporting the FASTRAK series in 2008! For that I m sorry. Now in 2009 it...

Last year work got in the way of racing and that is BS!! This year we are going to run the full schedule. Not sure what tracks I will have to run at weekly for Fastrak may have to run some UMP. Did you ever find a pitbox? I am going to build a nice one for myself and could build two just...
