So last night was the running of the 9th annual Cole Cup at Utica Rome Speedway. I had the honor and privilege of making the trophy cup this year. The little piston trophy was for the 305 Sprint cars that ran last night and the actual cup trophy was for the 360 sprint cars the run for the Cole Cup. This has been an honor all year making these special trophies for the race track. Special thank you to Jason Broedel and April LaMunion for making me feel part of the Utica Rome family this year. This is a track I grew up watching racing at for years and now to be able to say i am doing things for the track I love the most is a dream come true. Here are the pictures from last night's event with the trophies. Thank you to my wife Audra Prentice and my son Brayden Prentice for being there with me always.

We were asked to make some decorative legs for an eating bar that were also sturdy. The original design did not have adjustable feet on the bottom of them. The customer asked if we could add that feature to account for any floor maybe not being level or making sure eating bar was level when in place. In the pictures below, you will see what the customer had before and what it looks like with the new legs. They came out very nice and another satisfied customer. For all your welding needs, come see us at Prentice & Sons Welding and let's make your next project come to life.

We had a job today to replace an ICC bumper on a fuel trailer. The old bumper was extremely roted and was no longer legal on the truck. We replaced it with a new piece of tube which will make it legal again and put the strength back in the bumper.

Had a job request to repair the side arm on a brush hog 3 point hitch hook up. It had been welded several times before and kept breaking either above or below the weld each time. We took the opportunity to bevel and re weld the arm back together then we plated the entire arm over the weld strengthening the entire arm.

Recieved a phone call to fix a idler wheel on a Kubota mowing deck. We have been called out to fix many of these on several different style mowers. They stick out farther than the mower and are the first thing to catch anything while mowing. Naturally why we fix a ton of them. If you have an idler wheel on your mower that needs repaired give us a call and we would be glad to take a look at it.

We added some cross bracing under this flat bed trailer to stop it from bending. They are supposed to flex in certain ways but this trailer was flexing in wrong ways with a load on it. Hopefully these new cross members stop that unwanted flex and alow it to still flex they way it's supposed to. For all your welding needs give us a call at Prentice & Sons Welding we would love to help you out.

So this is late and I apologize for that. Here are the pictures of the last trophy and the other trophy together. If the guy in both pictures looks familiar, well because he is. Money Mat Williamson won the first trophy last Wednesday and then turned around and won the second trophy on Sunday. Not only was this awesome to be able to build these trophies and some pride and love in this sport more than I do, but to turn around and have the same driver win both of the trophies I made and it is a driver that I love to watch race, it just made the whole thing that much more special. I would have loved one of my home track boys to win one of the trophies. That would have meant just as much to me, if not more. My whole family got to come and support me and the business. If not for them, this would not be possible. I just want to say thanks to my mom and dad for always supporting me in all my crazy ideas. My sister and brother in law for always being there when I ask. My niece for being the best and always keeping me young. My boys for always helping with the buisness and putting up with me. And most of all my wife. My biggest supporter of all. Never afraid to tell me what I need to hear and always there beside me, even when I need her to pick up steel or hold something while I weld it. No matter what, she is the reason why I am able to do what I do.
