We
ran Lima Friday night. No so good... Finished 16th in the feature. We
started good. Started 3rd row for heat race and won. Started 3rd row
outside for feature next to Babcock. At the start of race, the racer
in front of me didn't take off and everyone behind me started pushing
is into him. End result: Tore up the whole right side of the body and
came out of the first lap running about 12th. I worked myself up to
5th and the first caution flew at half way. We went back green and going
into 1st turn the right rear went flat. I expect this was from the 1st
lap problem. I went to the puts and never returned. Article on limaland
web site. We race at Lima and then eldora this weekend. Hope to see
you there....

It
was a rough one Saturday night. The race surface was the roughest I
can ever remember. We got a good draw and started the heat race in the
2nd row. We quickly moved into 2nd place behind Bob Burch in the #3
and was gonna be happy with that finish until both welds broken that
hold the hood pins allowing the hood to flip up and block my vision.
This sent us to the pits.
We were a little worried,
cause now we would have to race the b-main. Started 2nd row again
and quickly jumped into 2nd place behind Conover. This is were we
would finish.
Our starting position
for the feature was deep in the field at 19th spot. At the drop of
the green flag we quickly began moving to the front. At the first
caution, about halfway, many racers had retired to the pit area and
the end result was that we were sitting in about the 5th position.
By the time the next caution flew with 2laps to go I had worked my
way to 2nd behind Babcock. I tried to mount a challenge with 1 lap
to go and my right front jack bolts had backed off so much that the
frame was digging into the track. We would finish this wild night
in 3rd.
It
was a good night considering we had to from the bmain. See you Friday
at limaland.

Hello
race fans. Things got a little crazy Friday night. Didn't
have a good heat race. Finished 3rd. This put us starting the A-main
in the 4th row outside.
When the feature went
green I was able to quickly pass a few racers and after a couple cars
got together in front of me to being out the caution. I was sitting
in the 4th position on lap2. The race went green again and I was able
to get to 3rd. On lap 4 the 23J of Jason Jimison lost the handle on
his racing machine. I darted to the bottom in which Jason and I got
together allowing Barney Craig to get into the left rear of the car
cutting down a tire. This sent is to the pits for the second week
in a row.
I was able to return
to racing at the tail end of the field. We were able to complete the
race in the 7th position. Oh well, we will try again next Friday night.

The
weekend didn't start good for me Friday night. I got a late start from
KY and missed hot laps. Also, missed the dash for cash. I guess I will
get to run it next week.
Anyway, got there just
in time to run the heat race. Had to start the tail and was able to
only get a 3rd place finish.
I started
in the 8th position for the 3rd race in a row. The race was kinda
uneventful. We were able to finish 4th despite the engine having a
miss.

Family
fun night has always been good to me and Saturday night wasn't any different.
In hot laps
and qualifing the car had a miss in the engine. The result was just
a 9th place qualifing run. We changed the plugs and plug wires prior
to the heat race. However, the miss was still present and was only
able to run 4th in the heat race.
So, before
the main event we decided to change the carburator. At the start of
the race I quickly knew that that change was the correct one. The
car got better as the race went on and I was able to get to 6th position
by halfway. Then I was able to slowly work my way thru the field and
slid into 2nd position on lap 11. I was reeling in gossard little
by little and getting ready to make a move when the caution flag flew
for the final time. So, on lap 13 I had one last chance for the win
and couldn't get myself in position to make the pass.
I think were
tied with Burch for the points lead. Hope we can continue to have
good luck.

Started
in the 2nd row outside for the heat race and quickly moved to the front
and won the heat race.
For the 4th race in
a row. The inversion wasn't good to us. Still haven't had a chance
to start in the top two rows for a main event.
Started in the 3rd
row for the feature. The track got really slick and it was difficult
to get the tires to the ground. Basically, track position was important
cause no one could pass. After 3 attempts to start the race, it went
caution free for 15 laps. Finished 4th.
Were off to eldora
Saturday night.

Well
race fans. Its along drive back to ky. Started
out strong with a heat race win from the tail end of the line up.
Come feature time.
We had the best starting position of the year in the 3rd spot. Had
a strong front row with gossard and babcock. When the race went green
babcock quickly took the lead. I was going with him when gossard wanted
the spot. We touch on the backstretch and that allowed tony Anderson
to get me.
So, I came out running
4th. I started to work on Anderson but with the slick conditions it
was difficult to pass. At about halfway on a restart, I finally got
Anderson on the top side.
Running 3rd, I was
able to catch gossard and get my nose under him but couldn't ever
make a pass. Red flag on lap 12 and sitting 3rd. I was planning to
bring it home in 3rd.
Went back racing and
gossard got in the wall on lap 14. I made the pass to move into 2nd
at the white flag. Then going into the first turn on the final lap,
I heard the right front tire blow. The car took a right hand turn
into the wall.
I think that's the
hardest I've ever hit the wall. I'm ok, but, the car has considerable
amount of damage. Well
I hope the drive back to ky isn't as long next week.

We've
been slowly running better at limaland.
Got a bad draw and
started 10th in the heat race. I was able to get to 3rd by the end
of the race. This made is the number 8 pill.
Luck was
with us and they drew a number 8 which put us on the inside pole next
to Holderman. He had the perfered line at the start of the race. So,
I quickly tucked in behind him at 2nd place. Early in the race I was
able to show Holderman my nose a couple of times. But, wasn't able
to make the pass and about halfway I almost spun the car out and lost
a lot of track position. I was able to catch back up towards the end
of the race. However, had to settle for 2nd place.

It
was the Steve Brown Memorial Race for $1000 to win. Again we won our
heat race which had me starting the 2nd row outside behind the evental
winner Tony Anderson.
When the
race started. Tony and myself took the too 2 spots and again I started
working on Tony. I showed him my nose several times. With about 5
laps to go Tony jumped the cushion and I hit the back of his car.
This broke my good pin and I had my hood high in the air. Anyway,
again we had to settle for 2nd place.

Well
fans I'm reporting another 2nd place finish. I guess if we keep running
up front the wins will come.
I won the
4th heat and then drew a 12 out of the hat. This had is starting in
the 5th row. However, we were running really well and after a couple
of cautions and 12 laps I found myself running in the 2nd position
behind dirksen the evental winner. With 3 laps to go I passed him
down the backstretch but got squezzed a little too high to keep the
lead and then on the final lap I had a run to the inside. And again
ran out of racing room on the bottom.

Hello
race fans. Wed night was a special night and everyone was excited about
HBO and running with the naacar guys.
I started
2nd row outside just behind your winner Barney Craig. When the race
started I seemed to be running good behind Barney. However, he couldn't
get up off the corners and dirksen found his way to the front. I got
to watch those two fight for the lead most of the race while I ran
in the 3rd position. I was struggling bad to get any grip and it never
got any better.
With 2 laps
to go I found the turn 4 wall and had to settle with a 4th place finish.
Congrats to Barney on the win.

Finished 3rd in the

really slick and there want much passing. After several yellow flags
I was only able to stay in the 12th position. Wasn't a good start
to the weekend.

The
weekend got worse. I
blew a tire going for the lead in the heat race. This had me starting
in the 13th position of the b main.
In the b main. At the
start I dropped to the bottom and came out of turn two in the 3rd
spot. However, this time my right front ball joint broke going into
turn 3.
I didn't make the a
main. I can't even remember the last time I didn't make the race at
eldora. Anyway, I think next weekend couldn't be any worse.

Well
I haven't had much to talk about lately. I don't think we have ran well
since the prelude.
Anyway, we
got a bad draw Friday night. Drew a 70 pill. That had is starting
in the 10th spot for the heat race and there were many good racers
in the heat. When we went racing the track had just been watered.
Needless to say, I got a large dose of mid and it was very difficult
to see. Finished 8th
Had to run
the b main. This had us starting 17th spot in the feature. We were
only able to get to the 10th spot. See you at eldora next week.

Saturday
night started really well. Started on the front row of the heat race
and was able to jump into the lead and never look back. I thought this
would get a is a good spot in the feature.
The 11 pill
was drawn and that put is steying in the 9th spot. Track started to
get slick. When we went racing. I was able to get to the 5th spot
at the halfway point. But, wasn't able to gain anymore spots after
that. Oh well, only got two more races left at Eldora. Hope to get
some better draws.

Things
didn't start out well. However, finished good by getting the win in
the 6th annual Bobby Keysor Memorial Race. This race paid $2000 to win
and was my biggest win ever.
Started
by winning the heat race and then the draw was a 11 pill. This put
is starting the big race in the 10th spot.
When
the green flag dropped in the feature event we quickly was able to
get to the 4th spot by the 3rd lap. The care was handling the best
it has all year. Conover and Seiferd, running 1 and 2 got together
and brought out the yellow flag at lap 5. This had us running in the
3rd spot with 15 laps to go. Holderman running 2nd dropped out a few
laps later and put in the 2nd spot. I was on conover but couldn't
make the pass. Lap 15 brought out the final caution and I thought
I would need to settle for another 2nd place finish. With 3 laps to
go conover blew a motor handing me the win.
There
have been races that we should have won this year and didn't. So,
I guess it was my turn to win the one that I shouldn't have.

We
had an off weekend from Eldora and Limaland. So, we wanted to take advantage
of this weekend to run our 2nd car.
We headed to Moler
Raceway. However, it was raining when we got to the track. So, we
headed to Union County Speedway instead.
We just wanted to run
the motor. Anyway, got to the track late and had to start the tail
of the 2nd heat. We finished 6th and this put is starting the 12th
spot for the feature.
I was able
to cut that in half by the end of the race.

This

We finished 4th in the heat race after a bad draw. This had us starting
in the 10th position for the feature.
When
the feature got going it took us most of the race to get to the 3rd
position. We worked on tony Anderson for several laps and couldn't
get it done.

Once
again a bad draw had is steying on the tail of a heat race. After running
3rd in the heat race the feature draw had us starting in the 11th position.
The only positive thing about these starting spots is that we are collecting
a lot of those hard charger points.
Anyway, again
we were about to get to the 5th postion at half way. Again I found
myself behind tony Anderson. After making a pass on the high side
I was able to catch the leaders Craig, Bowen and babcock. 4th is were
I would finish after they crossed the line 3 wide.

Track was much slicker than it appeared. Several drivers including myself
got into the wall in turn 1. On lap 2 is when I hit bend my tie rod
and suspension parts. Was able to hang on to 6th place finish.
However, the car wasn't
right the rest of the night. We finished 5th in the vern heat race
and ended up last in the main event.

Had
a great night. We won the JR Butler Memorial Race that paid $1000 to
win.
The event actually
started Friday night for the Woodard race team(me and dad). We tore
up the car a little Friday night. So, when we got back from lima Friday
night about 12:30am we started working on the front suspension and
changing gears for eldora. Finished up at about 3am. Saturday morning
dad was back at it around 7am and I joined him at 9am. We both worked
on the race car until about 2pm. We both took a nap and headed to
eldora at about 4:30pm. Anyway, it was a long night.
Drew a 62 pill which
had us starting in the 10th position for the heat race. When the green
flag flew. We were able to pass several cars at the start and worked
our way up to finish 2nd.
Again, the
draw didn't go our way and we started the race in the 3rd row inside.
When we went racing I came out running about 5th or 6th. I was able
to get to 3rd place by lap 5 and found myself in 2nd just past half
way. At this point, I was a straight away behind babcock and hoping
for a caution flag to have any shot at winning. That never happened.
Babcock started to smoke with 4 laps to go. However, he wasn't slowing
down. Babcock took the white flag and blew his motor going into turn
1 and I was able to pass him coming down the backstretch. This allowed
is to lead the last half of the last lap.

I'm
headed back to ky tonight. The drive doesn't seem as long after winning
a race.
Didn't draw well and
started the heat race on the tail. It took me the whole length of
the race to get to the 3rd position.
Finally, we got a draw.
They drew a #9 and that put us starting the feature on the outside
pole. When the green flag flew I was able to quickly get to front.
By lap2, babcock was already in the 2nd position. I was just tring
to stay smooth and not make a mistake. At just past halfway, we started
to hit lapped traffic. This slowed me up a bit and babcock started
to show me his nose and attempted a pass with about 3 laps to go.
I was able to step it up and hold on for my 2nd win in a row.

Well

the heat race and was able to finish 2nd place which was turned into
a 6th place starting position for the feature.
When we went
racing I got boxed on the top side and babcock was able to get by
on the first lap. When caution flew on lap 2 we were sitting 5th with
babcock running 4th. Tim R was the leader. The race went green the
rest of the race and I was able to get to 2nd.

I
went into the last race of the year needing to finish 18th or better
to complete the year 2nd in points. Guess what happened? I finish last
and it dropped me to 3rd in points.
We started in the 3rd row outside. Behind Craig
and babcock. Going into the first turn bancocks motor shut off and
Craig and myself started stacking up and I got a cut tire and couldn't
get back on the track on the lead lap.
Also finsished 3rd in the KING of the Quarter
Mile race (race run by all feature winners from the year)

Its
the last race of the year at eldora. We got a good draw and was able
to win the heat race.
After the
inversion, we were starting the race in the 2nd row outside with babcock
and gossard on the front row. When the race went green. Babcock quickly
jumped to the lead with gossard and myself following.
Gossard was
able to get by babcock around lap 5 and started to check out on us.
I was able to get around babcock and then the caution came out and
I had to line back up 3rd.
After a couple
of laps I was able to get by babcock in turn 3 with about 3 or 4 laps
to go. Gossard had a large lead on me and I was able to start to run
him down. However, as I got close to him he blew a right rear tire
and I was able to pass him for the lead as we got the white flag.
We went on to win our 2nd race in a rowat eldora and 4 of the last
10 races.
We were very
happy to end the year on a positive note.
