    Well, good fortune didn't follow us this past weekend to the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals. We struggled a bit in qualifying with our "backup" motor ending up 17th in the 32 car field. During the first round of eliminations it looked like we were going to upset the #1 qualifier as we had a huge starting line advantage, but just past half track the engine let go and sent parts flying out the side of the engine block! Uggh!!

    We have the week off to regroup and than its some "home cooking" as we head to nearby Joliet, IL for the NHRA Route 66 Nationals. We just picked up a brand new motor from GM Racing and it should give us the power to get it done next weekend!

    Its a big race for us, not only will we be hosting a ton of friends and family at the track, but be competeing in the JEG'S All-Stars that will be run in conjunction with the event on Saturday. Its basically the best of the best from across the country squaring off in a special 8 car race. We've won the All-Star event the past two seasons and look to be the first driver to ever win three-straight titles!

    So wish us luck next weekend as there is a ton of bragging rights on the line and money thanks to the people at JEGS!

    Check out the pics I've attached and you can see some of the engine damage from last weekend.

    Re: Autogeek Racing!

    The "racing gods" seem to be frowning down upon us right now. Two weeks ago at the NHRA event in Columbus, OH we qualify #1 and have the field covered by a rather substantial margin and get rained out on Sunday...postponed till Sept...uggh!

    Things got worse last weekend in Michigan, we qualify conservatively #3, than hit eliminations aggressively and are in a position to dominate. After winning the 1st two rounds convincingly, we suffer a rather significant fire in the quarter finals that not only ends our day, but significantly damages the Autogeek.net Chevy Cobalt!

    We are working around the clock right now to get back up and running for the next race Aug12-13th. To be honest the damage is extensive, the car needs to be completely stripped, rewired, all new electronics from front to back as well as body work inside and out. Were down, but not out...we still have another NHRA Championship in our sights, we just need the "racing gods" to let us do our job!

    Hopefully we'll see some of you at an event down the road!

    After alot of hard work (and even more money spent, lol) we made it back with a vengeance, qualifying #1 and making it to the final for the second consecutive week.

    Despite the adversity we've had as of late, we sit #4 in the National points standings with our sites set on another NHRA National Championship. Its not going to be easy, but if it was, it wouldn't be worth it!

    Below is a link to an article about us on a popular import racing website and a few pics from "after the fire" at the NHRA Nationals in Brainerd, MN.

    If you look up the word tenacity in the dictionary you'll find a picture of Bruno winning...
