Big Gun 09....
Here is a pic from the first Big Gun race of 09.....
It rained but it didn't rain it out....It was nice to see some different faces in victory lane tonight. It wasn't us but we did finish 4th out of 18 in Animal Med and our buddy Taylor Cole finished a strong 5th.....Kevin Young had a good run in Animal Pro taking the checkered flag as did Grayson York in one of the Pro plate classes....All in all the Dawgwood crowd held their own at Checkered Flag.....Look out on March 28th when the series heads to Dawgwood....Let's see if anybody can run with the Dawgwood bunch at their home track....See Ya'll there.
Qualifying....
Race results....
Mylaps for the rest of the results....

What do we need.....?
I got asked that question today in a round about way....It's got me thinking and taking a look at our race team from the outside...Maybe it is motor, that we can fix easy enough....I really think the motor is fine.
I know it helps being on the "inside" with some folks that U are not racing against and will give U straight answers...Big teams have a huge advantage in info alone....Tires are everything...I sure would like to have a tire guy in my pits, chassis guy wouldn't hurt either.
So to answer the question.....Luck.

Started the first mods today on the HHR.....
I got a nice set of race pedals for Christmas and got them on today....Took off the little small GM pieces at the bottom front on the front doors....Got rid of the pinstripe and dealer logo sticker....It looks nice and clean now....The Cobalt SS springs won't get here till Sat. and if it ain't raining I'll put them on to level up the ride height.....I'll post some pics when I get the new springs in.
Got the springs this morning and put them on....They even the ride up very well....This was the best $30.50 mod ever....See pics below.

Maxxis National 2008
Got to the track around 11:30 Friday and decided to fix our smoking animal motor...I didn't realize how bad it smoked at idle until we crunk it up at home Thursday night before loading it up in the trailer....I just didn't want to go into this National with a motor that I thought might not be up to par so I tore it down at the track and replaced the oil ring spring...It worked and I got the motor back together in plenty of enough time to make some practice runs Friday afternoon.
Man what a crowd...The kart counts were huge....55 in Animal heavy on Saturday and 48 in Animal med on Sunday....We didn't make the show for the heavy race...Pole was 14.00 and Devin went a 14.66. We got faster every time we hit the track all weekend long and he turned it up a notch for Medium and went a 13.66 that was good enough to make the show even if we had to start on the back row....Pole was a 13.25 In the main he made it up to about 18th and hit a piece of lead that fall off another kart, he thinks it bent something when that happened and pulled off the track 2 laps later....He thought he was close to being lapped because of the trouble with the kart but the leaders still had a half a track or more before catching him.
The best in the country were there and I am proud of him for making the show....Big thanx goes out to Bradly for help all weekend....Tire warfare was rampant...If U missed the tires even a little bit U were either going to just slide thru the turns or the tires would go away after about 2 laps and that slowed U down atleast 2 or 3 tenths a lap.
Here is the qualifying results for Animal Medium....
Below are some pics we took while at the track....
Our pit spot....
View from our pits when we got there Friday....
The track when we got there Friday....
Here is day two....They really packed in over night.
Line up for Animal Heavy qualifying....I didn't get the results since we didn't make the show.
Track early Sunday morning....
After open practice Sunday they turned the track white...LOL
Here are some misc. pics at the grid....
Track at night...
