This past weekend was the 7th and final round of the series and I decided to just run Sedan and finish what I started. I had already missed one race, so I needed to attend this final race. I had a very large lead in the points as I have TQ'd and won most of the races. All I needed to do for this race was basically just register and I would be fine.
I did not go to any of the practice on Friday and went late on Saturday. I missed all the practice on Saturday and one of the qualifiers. My sedan is always so good I figured I could show up and be OK. Well for the first time in a long time I showed...

On the weekend of 5th of April the first Dutch National was up as one of the first nationals this year. My race season has already started for me at the EFRA GP in France 2 weeks ago where I presented that the 966 / Novarossi Flash / Tornado / ATS combination were competitive enough on European level of racing. With a 3rd qualification on the GP right after Pietsch and Cristiani I felt confident for the final. Due to interference problems half way this final, I had to retire the race while being in a strong 2nd position.
Because of my performance during the first GP I was confident for the first...

Saturday was a bit of bad day for us until the end of the day, we had radio problems all day on spectrum as well as some others too. We tryed everything we could to stop this from occuring but nothing would work, but near the end of the day it stopped. We had chance to try a couple of engines and that was about it, the car was good though from a previous test-day that we had done. Mark had problems earlier on in the day aswell because he hit somebody full speed on the straight and his car was not right until the end of the day where he got it near to where he had the car before. My dad re-built...

This year was the 2009 Texas Biggie in Rendon Texas, this was the 32nd running of the event. This year we had a little bit of everything goin it seemed, new classes,new faces, crazy weather, and entertaining races.
On the first day we planned three qualifiers, but we had a lite rain in the morning so they gave us more practice and cut the qualifiers to one, In qualifying Scotty Barrera was the man to catch all weekend he set Tq for the weekend, I managed to end up the 2nd qualifier not far behind Scotty. So we had the line up set i was happy to be able to start up near the front.
