March 30, 2009 - SuperLite Primm Test Session
The test in Primm went real good, all the SuperLite trucks ran great and there were a lot of people that got to go out in the SuperLite truck for the first time, they all had a blast and wanted to buy on the spot. We even had a radio host, Jason Ellis from Sirius satellite radio, he is also a pro skateboarder and MMA fighter that got to go for a ride and even drive one for his first time.
I think the series is going to be real good with Bully Dog and Lucas behind the program helping Speed Technologies get all the trucks that are on oder to all the races. I very impressed on how the trucks run they are just a little slower then a pro-lite but a lot smother on you and the equipment due to more suspension.

February 10, 2009 - Post BITD Parker 425
Well it was looking like another great weekend of racing for the # 1528 Speed Technologies / Bully Dog class 1 car. qualifying the car 2nd behind Rob Mac on Thursday afternoon. right off the start we were in 1st place because Rob broke a CV before he even hit the dirt, so that put John Herder who was starting the race for our team in a perfect spot with all clean air cause it was dusty. Pulled into pit 1 and thought he was loosing the alternator we played with the wires and got it going again. John did a great job on his section of the race and brought it to me at a lap and half, I got in the car with my co-pilot John Amus and everything was great, the car worked great and was very fast due to our engine builder Jim Horne who puts a lot of hard work into his babies (engines) until we got to mile marker 80 when we noticed our battery was not charging, we nursed it till the car just stooped we got out took the alternator completely apart put it all back together and got it going about 1-Hr later. That was the least of our problems, made it to main pit and it had been raining pretty good by this time, about 6 miles from midway pit the driver side rear tire flew off about 30 feet in the air towards some spectators watching the race (we had no idea where the tire went) as we got out to inspect the problem some guy came over to us to see if we needed
any help and said "Dude that was fu*king so cool but your tire just smashed the hell out of my Mercedes car" we were like oh my gosh well you shouldn't park so close to the track. We spent about 2 hours working on the car to get it to the finish. It was one of the hardest
races I have done in a car with all that rain and mud it felt like we were mud bogging the whole race. I just want to say thanks for the whole Speed/Bully Dog Technologies , Toyo Tires, and the ENTIRE Team for waiting in the cold and rain to get us to the finish line in time to finish 26th in class .

February 5, 2009 - Pre Race - BITD Parker 425
I am exited to be here in Parker, it is one of my favorite races and I will be driving the same Jimco champ car as we did in Henderson. All the guys from the Speed Technologies team have been working real hard as always to get the car in tip top shape. It's an honor to be driving with all the great talented drivers that are here in BITD Parker 425.
I will be splitting the driving duties with John Herder. This is his back yard and he is one bad ass driver so he will start the race and try to get it to me in one piece and I think we can pull off a win out here. We teamed up at the end of the 2008 season and we have done great with each other. I would like to thank all the great sponsors that make our jobs a lot easier Speed Technologies, Bully Dog, Toyo Tires, KMC, Baja Design, NOS energy drink, ProComm Radios, Blanca Basura clothing & Leatt brace.
