For our supporting team members June was busy and full of good results and tough challenges like racing often provides.

In the Sunoco Modified series the #11 of John Avery ran once giving John more seat time and more confidence. Jody London again filled in during the main event and recorded a 12th place finish as he cautiously brought the car in early with some question about operating temperature. Later inspection found nothing wrong and John is looking forward to more racing in July.

In the Street Stock class Kris Hillegeer had an up and down June with a win, two – 2nd place finishes and a DNF that trashed a rear end. Spencer Speedway is working on incentives to bring in more cars and provide additional competition which is what fans and racers enjoy. Kris now sits in first place in the season points.

Super Six driver Ryan Hillegeer also had a good June running up front, being competitive in each race, and overcoming adversity to record 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th place finishes. Ryan is 4th place in season points in a very competitive field with plenty of opportunity to improve his position. Ryan is searching for that elusive handling solution that will hold competitors off long enough to score a victory.

Kevin Bartalone continues his battles in the Scorpion 4 Cylinder class also showing consistent competitive runs. Finishes of 4th, 6th, 6th and 3rd have Kevin running his best and securing 4th place in season points. It's clear that Kevin is just a little experience and a little good fortune away from picking up his first win.

Our teammates began the highly competitive weekend at Spencer Speedway to finish up the prior week’s heats and features that Mother Nature had rudely interrupted. In the Weekly Modified division, Jody London was called upon to run John Avery’s #11 in the 100 lap opener. Jody’s main mission was to bring John’s car home safe while taking advantage of the historically substantial attrition. To our surprise, the modified drivers behaved themselves on the new asphalt and after 65 laps, we called Jody pit side with a 15th place finish.

John will return to his car for continued laps as he pursues rookie of the year honors.

In Street Stock action, Kris Hillegeer had a great opening night by patiently waiting for an opening on leader Michael Wright and completing the pass for the opening night victory.

Brother Ryan Hillegeer had the roughest night, crashing out of the Super Six main event while battling for 6th place. Repairs   ..... Click Here for the full story

Mid-May update on our Family of Racers

While our main team recovers from a tough start to the season we and our teammates have hardly sat still.

Jody London has his SST Modified up for sale and continues doing some basic maintenance “just in case” he gets the itch and the support to go back to mod racing. In the mean time he has bought two karts and is racing in the Upstate NY area with drivers Cassie McGrath, daughter of modified driver Tom McGrath and co-driver Andy Jankowiak, both drivers are out of the Greater Buffalo area. Cassie made her first outing at Paradise Speedway (Geneva) and found that karting on dirt was a bit different than 4 cylinder cars on asphalt. The kart was not quite set up properly yet Cassie hung in there and battled hard and is looking forward to better results come June. Andy took the #89 kart out the following week and with an updated set-up managed a fine 2nd place finish. As Jody’s drivers will be busy for the next few weeks in their personal race machines, Jody will be gracing local speedways lending a hand to  ..... Click Here for the full story
