The "In Memory of
Judge Landis" Ted Henry
racing team continues to start the nights off like a rocket.
Even having to go out late since we were the nineteenth car on
the track the team put up the 2nd fastest time of the night with
a 15.178 lap. In the heat race the team started in the sixth
position and quickly moved into the fourth position and looking
for more when something ripped the spark plug wire out of the
boot of the number two cylinder. We finished 2nd in the B-main
with only three corners of suspension on the car. In the main
event the "In Memory of Judge Landis" Ted Henry team struggled
and came home in the sixteenth position. We our hoping that our
luck will change real soon. The "In Memory of Judge Landis" Ted
Henry racing team remains in the 6th spot in the point standings. See you at the races! |

The Beth Steenhoek
racing team came roaring out of the gate as we put up the
fastest time of the night. In the heat race the team charged
forward three spots to finish in the third spot. The Beth
Steenhoek racing team was hoping for another spectacular twin
features night. In the first feature we came home with a
respectable 6th place finish and in the second feature we
struggled to a 17th place finish. The most important thing for
the Beth Steenhoek racing team is moving up into the 6th spot in the point standings. See you at the races! |

The Ealy Home
Improvement team started off the night with 3rd quick time. In
the heat race the Ealy Home Improvement team moved forward two
spots to finish in the 4th position. In the feature event the
Ealy Home Improvement team came in the the 5th spot. Top fives
our exactly what this team needs to move up in the points
standings. The Ealy Home Improvements team is in
7th place in the point standings. See you at the races! |

The Steenhoek Realty
Improvements team started the night off really strong with 2nd
fast time in qualifying. The Steenhoek Realty Improvements team
also moved forward two spots in the heat race to finish in the
4th position. The inversion was a twelve and having the fast
time car that transferred out of the heat race, it meant we had
to start outside the sixth row in the main event. The Steenhoek
Realty team raced really hard and moved forward to finish in the
7th position in the main event. The Steenhoek Realty team is in
7th place in the point standings. As you can see on our
results page this is one spot better than we were in the points
at this time last year and we came home 3rd in the point
standings. Let's hope we can finish strong again this year. See you at the races! |

The Sundance Realty
team was hoping for another strong run on Saturday night, May
31st. We started out with a qualifying time of 15.232 that put
us 13th quick time. In the heat race the team had a very strong
2nd place finish. Having an average qualifying time made our
starting position in the middle of the pack for the main event.
The Sundance Realty team moved forward to finish in the 9th spot
in the main event. Having another racing weekend behind us, the
Sundance Realty team is in 9th place in the point standings. See you at the races! |

This morning we got
about a half inch of rain. The track crew did an excellent job
getting the track ready. The Searsboro Telephone Company car
timed in 10th quick. We started fourth in our heat race and
finished in 3rd place. In the main event we started on the pole,
but didn't get the jump at the start. During the first half of
the race we were putting constant pressure on the leader and
nearly took the lead four times. While doing this our tired
motor, which hasn't been rebuilt since 2006, began to smoke. In
the second half of the feature the motor began to lose power. We
fell back to a fourth place finish. In the end we were just
happy to finish. The Searsboro Telephone Company team has moved
up to 7th place in the Knoxville Raceway point standings. See you at the races! |

Our first official
regular race of the year is in the books. The Arizona Race Mart
team qualified in 19th quick time. We won our heat race by an
entire straightaway over second place. While in a heated battle
for 12th place during the A Main, with one lap to go in a rubber
down affair, the caution came out. Under the caution our right
rear tire went flat. We didn't want to start the season off with
a DNF but that's the way it goes. We are currently 16th in
points at Knoxville Raceway.
See you at the races! |

Finally the rain has
stopped and we get to have our first race at Knoxville Raceway
this year. We started off the night with 36th quick time which
wasn't what we were hoping for. We started ninth in our heat
race and ran eighth. Then we started sixteenth in the B-Main and
moved forward to eleventh place. We used a provisional to start
the A-Main 26th but we had a nozzle get knocked lose and had to
pull in in the middle of the race. After the races were over we
realized why we had been struggling so much all night. We had
two bad torsion bars in our F-5 chassis, so we hope our next
race will be better.
See you at the races! |

Last night we got two
practice sessions in at Knoxville Raceway. For a new car out of
the box this F-5 Chassis felt the best I have ever had at
Knoxville Raceway for a new car out of the box. I'm really
excited about the direction my race team is going. I think this is
our best shot ever to win even more races, have a bunch of top
five finishes and win a championship at Knoxville Raceway in 08.
See you at the races! |

On Saturday March 8th, Manzanita Speedway had a tribute to Jimmy Blanton. This
was a night that was so special to me and my family. Jimmy has
done so much to help so many racers across the United States and
its great that somebody has recognized everything that Jimmy &
Pam have done for racing. The Jimmy Blanton night was wonderful.
There were so many past and current drivers there to share part
in Jimmy's night. I personally want to thank Jimmy and Pam for
everything they have done to help me out over the last 20 years
of racing. See you at the races! |

The CLM team heads to
Arizona to knock off some rust and see family and friends. We
would like to thank Hammerheads Ocean Grill for making this trip
possible. We started off the night a little rough. While warming
up the motor, we sheared the pin on the gear drive of the Mag.
That caused us to miss hot laps so our first lap in six months
was qualifying where we timed in 20th quick. In the heat we
maintained our position, and we came home in the 19th position in
the A-Main with the World of Outlaws. It's not the start we were
looking, for but it could always be worse. I want to thank all my
west coast fans for coming out and supporting our team. See you
at the races! |

Ever since Steenhoek
Realty Improvements has been a partner of CLM, the team has
shown great improvement. For the three years that Steenhoek
Realty Improvements has been a partner, the team has moved up at
least three spots in the point standings each year. Last years
performance was a wonderful 3rd place in the point standings.
Having Steenhoek Realty Improvements on our side, I see a very
bright future for CLM. Thanks for all your help and support
Jerry & Chris. |
