We are well on our way preparing for the 2026 race season. Our first event will be the El Mirage May meet. We have had a busy off-season inspecting, repairing, fighting the never-ending corrosion war, and updating our comp coupe. It takes lots of hours put in by so many amazing people to make this possible. Steve put together another amazing short video of our first fire up of the season this past weekend.

Speedweek 2025 did not go as planned for our team this year. The car is showing us so much potential, but we still keep having issues arise that are keeping us from keeping the throttle open long enough to take it to the big end. We lost oil psi just after shifting into high gear at about the 2 mile mark as we were going 268 mph. We hurt some parts that could not be fixed on the salt, so we loaded up and headed home. Now, after the clean-up, we have torn the car completely apart and are starting the rebuild, so we will be ready for the next event. Our racing family suffered a loss this year as fellow racer Chris Raschke lost his life pursuing his dreams on the salt. God Speed Chris Raschke.

We are in full swing for 2025 speedweek. In less than 3 weeks, we will be chasing records and hopefully getting into the elusive 300mph chapter of the Bonneville 200mph club that I have been dreaming about since I was a little kid. We have been putting in work at El Mirage to help us get a better handle on the tune-up, and I think we are getting close. None of this is possible without the help of some amazing people and companies.

We had a successful opening weekend of the 2025 racing season at SCTA Southern California Timing Association El Mirage May meet. The wind was making the weekend very challenging with it blowing 30 to 40 mph. We made a test pass on Saturday at 245 MPH then we made a change in the tune up and on Sunday morning we reset our record to 257.5 MPH. We are all very excited to see what this new combination can do at Bonneville when I can keep it wide open through the 5 mile marker. It takes a big effort from lots of people to run this car, and we are very thankful for the people and company's helping us out. We were very fortunate to have Greg Quirin put his camara in our car and then he made this video. Thank you Greg Quirin for making this awesome video.

2024 World of Speed was a good trip for our team. We did not have the success we were looking for, but we did get the car's faster timing slip to date, and the potential for this hot rod is amazing. We were on track to put up a 300 + mph run at the 3 mile but just before the 2 3/4 the blower went bang and I had the parachutes out before the 3 and it ran 287 at the 3 mile. We have some things to figure out, and when we can keep the throttle down for 5 miles, it's going to be a fun ride. It takes an immense amount of effort from lots of people to make this all happen. We are very grateful and thankful for the love and support from our racing family and friends. Thank you to the for putting on an amazing event.
