2017 April Race Recaps

4/1 (NCQMA): Dillon got fast time in Jr Honda. Qualified 3^rd in Jr Animal. They inverted the top 2 qualifiers for the feature races. With the invert, Dillon started 2nd in the Jr Honda feature, but the #1 car had to come off the track during warm ups, so that moved him back to the pole. Another car was able to get around Dillon in the first few laps, but Dillon got a little too aggressive trying to get back to the front and ended up spinning him out. This sent Dillon to the back of the field. He was able to make his way back up to 5th, but ran out of time before he could get any further. In Jr Animal, he started 3^rd and finished 2^nd in a caution free race.
We also had our track Easter egg hunt which was lots of fun for all the kids! 4/29 (NCQMA): Dillon qualified 2nd in both Jr Honda and Jr Animal. In Jr Honda, Dillon started 2nd, but his tail cone came off on the first lap when he got together with another car. Unfortunately, this meant he had to come off the track and restart in the back. He managed to make his way back up to 5th in a race that went caution free after that. In Jr Animal, Dillon started 2nd but had his chain come off just a few laps in. He had to come off the track for repairs and then restart at the back. He raced his way back up to 2nd but didn't have enough laps to catch the leader.

2017 Reveal

Our "big reveal" was a little late this year as we were trying to get 3 cars ready instead of just 2. This year, Dillon will be racing in the Jr Honda, Jr Animal and Lt 160 classes. The blue car is our Jr Honda, red is our Jr Animal and orange is our Lt 160. It's going to be an exciting, and BUSY, year!

Once again, War Ink Graphics did a fantastic job on our stickers for the cars. Since we were doing an extra car, we decided to go with a simpler design that was easier and quicker to apply instead of the full car wraps that we have done in the past. War Ink worked with us to make our description of what we wanted an even better reality than what we had been picturing! The cars look great and really stand out on the track.

This year we worked with Tri Star Racewear to get a new custom driving suit as Dillon shot up in height and outgrew his old one. They were wonderful to work with, making a truly custom suit that is exactly what we wanted and fits like a glove. Their suits are made in the USA, right here in the Carolinas!

Our cars are Stanley Bulldogs from Robbie Stanley Racing. We have loved working with Ron and Rita over the years. The best feeling after a race is seeing Rita heading your way to get a picture, since that means you got the win!
As in all our years of racing before, we are once again powered by Flash Products engines. Chris and Kelly are wonderful to work with, support us whenever needed, and have become friends in addition to vendors. We are happy to be part of the "Flash Empire!"
