For those of you who have been paying attention and are wondering what happened at Indy over the Labour Day weekend the answer is nothing. We did not go. Our adventure in Bowling Green KY. was such that a repeat in Indy would have been the end of the team. After much discussion it was […]
This report is a double update, first covering the Meritor Family Day/Woodward Dream Cruise weekend August 15th through the 17th and the Bowling Green Kentucky division three final pints race August 24/25th. Last year was our first time in attendance at the Troy Michigan headquarters of Meritor for their annual employee classic car show (preview […]
After completing seven of our ten scheduled races for this season we are #15 in the National point standings and #7 in the Divisional points. This is not what we had expected, we ended last year on such a high note it was just assumed we would pick up where we left off. Things did […]

What a great start to our 2013 racing season. The arrival of our second granddaughter Claire Sassur Johnston on March 8th set the excitement level on high. Leaving that highly charged environment and picking up the team at the airport in Jacksonville just kept the emotions at a peak. Being away from the snow and […]
