Way to Go South Jersey 2008 UDS Club Championship!!!!! and thank you to Ken Traino for organizing the series. June 2nd 2008 Light weekend of racing we only ran Friday night at SJQMA and took the rest of the weekend off to recover from the long states race weekend and work on getting the chassis business off and running. We are getting there the shop is finally organized and we started making some components for the stinger chassis. As for Friday night the tiger looked good and charged from the back to third and got a charging call trying for second. She again worked her way to third after the restart and got passed swapped positions with the fourth place car over the last couple laps and finished fourth after getting passed on the last lap. The tiger won the JR stock race. This weekend we will be back to double duty, Friday at SJQMA then on Sunday at BQMRC for the opening round of the Ultimate Dirt Series. On Sunday the Tiger will run three classes making her second start in the Lt. mod division. May 24th 2008 Tiger racing team had a tough go at the 2008 Dirt States Race. After qualifying 12th in the Jr. Honda we started on the pole in the C main but fell to third after a few laps. While attempting to move back into second we spun out and sent to the rear. As we tried coming through the field we got a charging call and went to the rear again. Starting from the rear we passed a couple cars and had to stop to avoid a car broad side on the track. This was our third DOT and ended our race in Jr. Honda. In Jr. Stock we timed 2nd fast and started the A main in the third spot. On the start we got a charging call and went to the rear. While coming through the field we got a second charging call ending our race. We made our debut in the Lt. Mod division or at least attempted to. We ran the car in practice and the Tiger loved it. She says its her new favorite car because its fast. When it came time to race we couldn't get the car to start so we failed to make the starting field. Well hopefully we will have better luck next time out with the Lt. Mod. We plan on running it in several up coming shows. April 26th 2008 Tiger racing team is proud to announce the acquisition of Stinger Chassis company from Dave and Diane Mueller. Go to Stingerquartermidgets.com for details. February 11th, 2008 Hope everyone is enjoying their winter and getting ready for the upcoming season. Here at Tiger racing we are getting ready to attend the Motorama show in Harrisburg, PA this weekend. We just returned home from the Ohio indoor winter nationals last weekend. This was a third trip to Ohio this season and sadly our last for the winter. They do have one more weekend of indoor racing left, but due to work we will be unable to attend. Although the results don’t show it we had a great time racing out there. The ride is long but well worth it. I feel we learned a lot that will help us in the upcoming season on both asphalt and dirt. I know we had fun and that’s the important thing. We look forward to racing out there again next winter. We didn’t make it out of the C main in Jr. Honda and didn’t finish the JR stock B Main. Dad made a major mistake with the Jr Stock that made it really hard drive and after we got involved in a tangle that bent the left rear shock it was even worse to drive so we decided to withdraw from the event. This weekend we will travel out Harrisburg, PA to compete in the Motorama event. Last year we had a good outing and hope for the same results this year. This year we will compete in the JR. Honda and JR Stock classes. We hope to release a tentative schedule shortly. This year however I’m not sure how well we will stick to that schedule as we plan to evaluate the season as it goes and decide if we want to run more asphalt shows then we have in the past so changes to the schedule maybe made as the season progresses. We still plan to run weekly at our home track of South Jersey. We are also planning on running in the Ultimate Dirt Series this year. Our main goal is to make the Tiger better and build her confidence before we head to the 2008 Dirt Grands. December 29th, 2007 Happy New Year! Its 2008 in just a few months the outdoor season will be upon us. So what does the Tiger racing team have in store for 2008? Over the winter and in between indoor races we plan to tear down and rebuild each of the cars our motors are all out at the respective engine builders getting rebuilt. We plan to open the season with a couple of indoor shows in Columbus, OH as well as the Motorama show in Harrisburg, Pa. After that we will await the spring thaw and the opening of the outdoor tracks. In 2008 we will again compete weekly in the JR. Honda division and the JR. Stock division at various tracks in the area with South Jersey being our home track. This year we again hope to compete on both asphalt and dirt tracks throughout the East coast. In exciting news Tiger racing team plans to compete on a national level traveling to Taylorville, IL to participate in the 2008 Dirt Grand’s. This will be our first trip to a QMA grand’s event and we will go at it full force by running three different classes. Wow! You say what is the third class? Well also in exciting news Tiger racing will be entering select races in the Light Mod class, including the grand’s and states race. At the completion of the year Tiger racing purchased a third Stinger chassis and another stocker motor. Our old stocker engine will be prepared by Ledererr engines to compete in the Light mod class. This will bring our stable of cars up to four, which includes three Stinger chassis and our original Butler chassis has been redone and is ready to go into action if the need should arise. Our very last piece of exciting news for 2008 is Tiger racing will switch from the number 02 to the number 15 on all our cars. The Tiger has always wanted to drive the number 15 as does her Hero Donny Schatz of the World of Outlaws, so dad has given in and will change the number. Well with the off season as busy as the regular season enough the news I have to get back to work on the race cars. I hope everyone is enjoying their off season and we hope to see you back at the track real soon. Please check back over the winter to see how the plans are progressing. |
