Saturday 25th Angell Park Speedway, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

Scott's report:

Qualifying laps were held on a rough track and I made a couple of errors, so had to run in the C main. Finished 2nd in C main which was a good result, but still had to start at the back of the grid for the heat race and couldn't gain any passes. Transferred to B main but off the back again, passed a few cars, finishing 13th. Unfortunately not good enough for a transfer to the A main.

Friday 24th Plymouth Dirt Track, Plymouth, Wisconsin

Meeting Rained Out

Sunday 19th Angell Park Speedway, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

Meeting Rained Out

Friday 17th Macon Speedway, Macon, Illinois

Scott's report:

Very slick two lane track; one lane really high against the wall and the other right on the pole line. Track size is smaller than NZ's Kihi Kihi but highly banked. I drew pill 88 so was on the last grid for the heat race. Only managed to pass one car to finished 8th. In the B Main I was also on the last grid and finished 9th so didn't transfer to the A main. Shaun drove well in his heat but still had to race the B main and didn't transfer to the A either. Bryce's heat was a crash fest and he finished with 2 other cars so they all transferred to the A main. Unfortunately he spun out on the first lap and had to restart from the rear then late in the race was involved in another crash that put him out.

Sunday 12th Kokomo Speedway, Kokomo, Indiana

Scott's report:

Missed the marble draw so started off the back of heat 2 finishing at the back once again. Started off the back of the 2nd B main with only the top 3 finishers transferring to the rear of the A main feature. Passed 6 cars to finish 4th, missing the transfer to the feature by less than a car length, beaten across the line by none other than Dave Darland, driving the Steve Lewis #9 Toyota. Bugger! It was frustrating that you get points for passing in the heat races but not in the B main.

To end the Indiana midget week without a feature start after such a promising start is very disappointing. Four shows in a row with 50 top level cars to race against has been one hell of a learning curve. Roll on next year when there will be five shows in a row!

Saturday 11th Lawrenceburg Speedway, Lawrenceburg, Indiana

Scott's report:

Collected Karen from Indy airport and travelled to Lawrenceburg. Got a bad marble draw and with a very slick track, raced to last place, putting me off the back of the B main. With nothing to lose I tried a setup that didn't pay off and finished at the back of a by now very slick track. Many of the other teams were threatening not to race due to poor track preparation. Not a good night for any of the Kiwi's.

Friday 10th Gas City I-69 Speedway, Gas City, Indiana

Scott's report:

Arrived at Gas City after the second mega-trip to Wisconsin (see below) at 7:30pm, too late for driver registration. In between watching the other Kiwi's race, Bill, Dick Webb, Kevin Stephens and I refitted the motor. Got a push start off the back of the wingless sprint car feature, and was happy the car ran. Helped to pack up the transporter and headed back to Indianapolis for some much needed sleep! Bummer no racing action tonight.

Thursday 9th Kamp Motor Speedway, Boswell, Indiana

Scott's report:

I drew grid 2 and Bryce drew grid 1 for the heat race. Bryce lead the first lap then I passed for the lead on turn 1 of the second lap. I lead the way through to lap 6 of 8 laps when the motor broke, dropping the head off valve 8. Normally I would pull off the track straight away but because I was leading a USAC race, I carried on and completely destroyed cylinder 4. Bad call! Spent the rest of the meeting removing the engine and loading it into the rental car. After watching the midget feature, Dad and I headed back up to the engine builder in Wisconsin. We drove until 3am before having to check into a hotel, then another hour on Friday morning; finally arriving at Speed Engineering at 7:30am. There was too much damage to the motor to repair it straight away so we negotiated the use of a replacement engine and set about bolting our engine plate and other components to it, reloading into the rental car and heading out at 12:30pm for the 6 hour drive back to Gas City Speedway.

Saturday 28th Belleville High Banks, Belleville, Kansas

1/2 mile dirt track, 25 lap feature

Scott's report:

We changed quite a few things on the car but to all for no gain, damn thing still would not do the only thing you need here... operate at full throttle! During the warm up (3 laps) max revs were 8300. Then into heat 2, grid 6 still the car did not work properly and something gave up on the last lap. Max revs were 8500 still 500 short of the red line. On a normal night at the Springs the car comes back around 8800 if its not pegged to the pre-set 9000 rpm rev limit. Lets hope the problem is only minor.

Friday 27th Belleville High Banks, Belleville, Kansas

1/2 mile dirt track, 25 lap feature

Scott's report:

Tonights racing was unbeliveably fast! We got 3 laps of green for warm up, then had to do 2 qualifing laps. My car did not run perfect, but was good enough to get 36th fastest, making me the last car to qualify for the heat racing. The non qualifers have to run off the back of the B main (about 10 cars).

Bryce got grid 1 in the second heat (qualified 2 in front of me) and finished 7th

(Top 4 transfered to A main rest to B main). I got grid 1 in heat 4 and finished 7th.

In the B main Bryce started 16th and I started 18th.

Bryce blew an oil filter o ring and pulled out of the race. My car still not running quite right, but I did finish the race 15th. Only the top 6 made the A main so we all watched a very fast race with speeds around 130 mph. These midgets sure go fast!
