We'd like to congratulate Shane Ohlrogge on making the first pass of his racing career in the modified class.  Shane is Scotty O's son, of Racing-in-the-Dirt.  Shane did a great job!  Always great to see the kids' getting into the sport.  We saw Tyler Coolidge "NightMare3" make his rookie pass earlier this season as well.  We look forward to seeing both these young men next season.

We're really hoping they have us back at Richland Center again in the Spring and Fall of 2012.  This really was a great event at a real nice venue. We'll keep you posted!

Here is one more video from RC...the Rossman's let us put the Go Pro on "Penny Pusher"....

 

Richland Center has always been one of my favorite races of the year, and the fall classic this year was awesome.  Great racers, a great track, awesome fans and phenominal weather all combined to make this one great.  Jim Lamb "Full Throttle" took the win in open class with a 1.74, followed by Paul Wesinger "Paperboy Express" and Cody Rossman "Penny Pusher", who tied for second with 1.806. 

Once again, we have great video to share, courtesy of Lamb Motorsports.  Many thanks to Andrea and Becky Lamb, and all the others who have shared their videos with us all season long.  I have heard from many racers this season who really enjoy seeing the action, since most are too busy preparing for their run to see a lot of the other action.

Here is some visual media from the race.  The weather was dark and dreary, so not the best conditions for pics and video, but made for some good MUD!!

The weather did not co-operate at all for this first time MRA show at the Kanahwa Valley Track in Southside, WV, but the racing was great anyways.  Jason Massie "Intensity" picked up the win in Open Class with a 1.976 for the 160' track...just edging out Dale Ellenberger in Touch of Madness, and Scott in Paperboy, as they tied for second (1.996).  

'Nuff said!!  Cody was the big story at Peat this weekend...laying down two great passes and setting a new track record at 2.143 for the 200' track.  We knew this car was going to be fast and Cody has gotten it all figured out!  Way to go Cody! 

Paperboy broke in the pits during warm-up (head gasket) and did not run.  Jeff Heck had Lethal Injection out with Paul driving and ran a real nice pass, but they ran into some engine trouble and shut it down before the second pass.  Don Current made a great second pass in the Road Rage, 2.53 and Scotty O was solid the his new car. 

We also saw great wheel-stand passes from both Darren Wilson "E-Magin-That" and Sam Lambasio.  It was a great show...check out some pics and video:

Congratulations to Byron Tinkey "Bad Habit" (class 5) and Kevin Stone "The Grind" (class 6) on their big wins at the NMRO Indy event. It was a great weekend of racing and fun at Indy.  Paul had a slight mishap in Paperboy (see video below) but they were able to fix the car and run class 6 the next day.  

We'd also like to congratulate Jason Massie "Intensity" on his NMRO Class 5 Championship and Dale Ellenberger "Touch of Madness" on his NMRO Class 6 Championship.  Way to go guys on a great season!!

We got rained out at Peat Monster this weekend, but Bill has decided to reschedule by adding drag classes to the September 24th event in Morrison.  So please put that on your schedule and hope we can get some racers out for that one!  We also have a race flyer to share for the final CMA race of the season at Richland Center WI.  This fall event has always been one of my favorites and has always had a great showing of both fans and top notch competitors.  A great race to end the season with!

Jim Lamb has done it again....a repeat of his record breaking run in Neillsvielle, WI.  Jim matched his 1.738/150' record which he set last month in Rochester, MN.  Way to go Jim and Buddy! 

Paul picked up second place with a 1.785—not bad after the guys worked all week getting the car back together from Scott's roll last weekend.  Special thanks to Don Current and Jeff Heck for their help.  Huge thanks to Dan Richter for the use of his supercharger, as the Paperboy's Whipple was damaged in the rollover.

Cody Rossman was third with the Penny Pusher and Byron Tinkey fourth in Bad Habit.  Another strong run by the rookie, Tyler Coolidge in Nightmare 3...Unfortunately Joel Coolidge had a bad roll on a subsequent run and Nightmare3 was in pieces.  Joel injured his hand, but will be ok. 

Thanks to the CMA and the folks in Neillsville for a fabulous race!!  We had a great time and look forward to this one next year.  Here are some pics and videos:


Joel Coolidge still smiling!


The Kid..Tyler Coolidge, with a super pass.


Scott had a 1.85 in round 1


Special thanks to Steve Knoop who is a big part of the Neillsville race.


Did we mention this guy??

Here is some video and pictures from this past weekend...

Well the good news is, the boys finally got the car to run great!  The bad news...Scott rolled the car in shutdown at Augusta this past Sunday.  Thankfully, Scott was not hurt (Great news), but the car is pretty torn up (BAD news).  He made a 1.755 155' pass, perfectly straight...but a couple of patches of dirt and sand in the shutdown did him in. 

Joel Coolidge won at both Whitehall and Augusta.  Way to go Joel!  Joel's son Tyler also made his first career pass in the Nightmare 3 and did awesome.  He followed it up with two strong passes at Augusta.  Always nice to see the new kids!

Here is video from Scott's rollover and from Whitehall.  Many thanks to Raedel Racing Family for sharing their great video with us!

We will have more pics and video from the weekend later this week.
