Saturday - May 8th
We started 10th and after the first few laps the Wall freight train got rolling and we couldn't advance without risking getting hung out to dry. So we hung in there until the first caution for a spinning Harry Reed with some help. We looked the field over and hoped to get a jump and pass some cars on the restart. As we came to the green flag we were hit in the left rear and turned into the fence. Now sitting sideways on the track, it was about to get real ugly. When the smoke cleared Shanon Mongeau was resting on the hood of the car and one car had gone over the car and left tire marks on the windscreen and A pillar. Everyone was ok and the track hauler brought the car back to the pits where we assessed the damage. All I can say is I'm glad we have next week off.

Saturday - June 12th
 We started 12th for the feature and immediately began passing cars. With only a few laps on the board we cut down a right rear threading our way to the front. We came in and bolted on a new tire and started around 21st. Again the car showed its muscle and we were headed toward the front. We had recovered to about 8th place when things got real bad. We were hit from behind exiting turn 4 and spun into the infield. The car refired and we continued the race, but we had crash damage that hindered the performance. None the less we had some great racing with NEXTEL Cup star Jimmy Spencer who race the John Blewett #66. Jimmy raced us clean and it was a lot of fun dicing it up with him. We did get past Jimmy and 2 other cars to finish 11th at the checkers. Click on an image below to enter the gallery(Photos: Dave Nale).

Friday - August 27th
Frank ran the Zirinski Racing #25 ARDC Midget at Linda's Speedway. Frank started up front but was involved in a Lap 2 spin and had to restart at the rear after the car stalled. After working his way up through the field another spinning car crossed his path and he was forced to stop on the track. Again Frank picked his way through traffic and was runnung in the 6th position at the checkers. Frank also ran a 270cc Micro Sprint in the evenings events.Click on an image below to enter the gallery(Photos: Dave Nale).

Saturday - August 28th
We escaped the early spins that slowed the pace of the race. Then around lap 25 contact up front sent a spinning car into the path of the entire field. We got on the binders and good work on the radio helped us avoid serious damage. But, contact had damaged the spindle mounts and bent them. This damage along with some corrosion inside the mounts bound up the sway bar and limited its ability to work. At that point we had worked our way up to 5th from 18th. From that point on we were just hanging on to our position. Good spotting work and great driving helped us keep position from slipping away. We crossed the checkers only losing one spot and finished 6th. We only lost a few points to the leader. A little bad luck was almost inevitable since we had been running so well. But the team has done an excellent job at repairing the car every week and improving the performance. Click on an image below to enter the gallery(Photos: Dave Nale).
