June Recap
The first few weeks of
the season have been like a bad roller coaster ride,
we are still waiting for the thrilling part of the
ride to kick in. To recap, we crashed out of the
Spencer SST event, Jody got faked out by a bad gauge
and Kris was working hard at getting his Street Stock
to not spin out when he steps on the gas.
Over the next couple
weeks Kris continued to improve and won his first Heat
race over the dominant car of Jim Stephenhagen. Kris
now runs competitively with the other non-crate
motored cars. Jody came back for one more Spencer race
and had a very competitive finish in hand when the
race was allowed to restart with fluid on the track
that caused Jody to spin and restart from the back
with only a couple laps remaining. Jody was very happy
that he is now racing door handle to door handle with
several other competitors. We were to run Spencer the
following week but the discovery of water in the motor
of the #50 brought our efforts to a quick halt.
Our team goals for
2009 are to learn how to be competitive at Speedways
we had not run at or had not run an SST car at in
years. First up was Chemung Speedrome where we used a
twin features format as a long practice day. It turned
out to be much more practice then racing as Terry
struggled to two top 10 finishes and a lot of chassis
questions still needing answers. Next came a rain out
where we had planned to do the same twin feature
strategy at Holland Speedway and now there is ..... Click

Opening
Day Blues at Spencer – 5/22/09
With a clear but cool
weather forecast the team unloaded our cars and
equipment in the Spencer infield so fans could keep a
close eye on their favorites and the competition. As
more teams than ever filled the infield area we all
wondered how everyone would handle a 100 lap opening
day event.
The practice sessions
showed us that we were easily a top 6 car out of the
29 present, but were clearly off the pace of the top
running cars of Tony Hanbury, Wilbur Hebing and Buck
Catalano. Besides making changes to the #5 we also
lent a hand to the #89 of Jody London as he shook the
bugs out of his ..... Click

Practice
Almost Makes Perfect
Friday, May 15th
welcomed all racers to Spencer Speedway for their
practice day. Cool but sunny conditions meant that
once some rubber got laid down on the asphalt, the
cool air would let motors pump out just a few more
horsepower, so there was a chance to see some really
fast times later in the sessions.
The EpicVentures
Family of Racers was present either learning first
hand or lending a helping hand. Terry Cheetham drove
the #5 and #50 SST Modifieds. The #5 went through
several experimental set-ups to help us know the true
limits and reaction characteristics of this winning
car. Terry's time behind the #50 was more for shake
down purposes to ensure this car can be called upon if
anything .... Click
