Dirt Track Auto Racing Dreams

The season has begun. Jeremy's dirt track auto racing dreams have not come true just yet. Jeremy's car is almost finished, but it's still up in the air as to whether he will even get it out of the garage this year. He said he built it to test it as a late model because he has never driven a late model before on the dirt track. He did race Emods and did quite well, but this is a different class altogether.

So why isn't he on the track? New job. Young family. Too much grass to cut. Too much landscaping to get started with a new house. No time. He tinkers with it on his few days off, but his hopes for even having a chance to race this year are slipping by. It's still up in the air. No one has given up just yet.

When I asked him what he'll do if he doesn't get to race this year he said he will sell the car and start building another one for next year. Our hopes are that he will still be able to get on the track and give it a try.

It is extremely frustrating when dirt track auto racing is in your blood, not to be able to race. It's frustrating to be in a down economy where sponsors are hard to find. Does giving it up ever cross his mind? Yes. There's a brand new camaro he has his eyes on. . . he could sell it all to buy it, but something inside is holding him back. Guess we will wait and see.

More pics are to come of the stages he was building this car in. It looks great finished too, but it's still sitting in his garage. Another several hundred dollars and a few nice, rain free weekends is all it will take to get it on the dirt track. So close, yet so far.

Finally, Pictures of Jeremy's New Dirt Track Modified Late Model Under Construction

It's great to have a job in this day and age, but it wreaks havoc on trying to build a new dirt track auto racing car.

In between his work schedule, Jeremy has been working hard to build his new modified. With little time and even less money, it is slowly but surely coming together with the hopes that it will get on the track this summer.

Here is a picture of what it looks like while under construction. He's almost done. I'll show you a picture with the skin on it soon but here is what we have for now.

The Red Modified Has Been Sold! New Dirt Track Modified Pics Coming Soon!

After several months of negotiations, the red and white late model modified has been sold. The garage was empty for about two weeks, but is now filled with a new secret weapon. Jeremy and his dad are building a new late model. The insides are ready to go and they are busy building the body every spare weekend minute they get.

We will have pictures of the process coming soon. With Jeremy's new working schedule, it's hard to find extra time to work on his new late model modified dirt track car, but he is hoping to be able to race this summer so he will give it a great effort.

This is what happens in dirt track auto racing. You get dissatisfied with one modified and then find another, better one, to work on so you can go out and win races.

Watch for pictures soon.

Dirt Track Soap Opera Continues

It's officially gone. Jeremy sold his beautiful red and white modified dirt track racing car. It's out of the garage and the garage is just waiting for it's new arrival.

Jeremy wants to get on the track this summer so in order to do so, and because of his new job, he didn't have the time to keep building this car. He is actively looking for another dirt track modified to fill the empty space so I will keep you informed. We need to get him back on the track asap.

Hey Jeremy, Any Dirt Track Updates?

Jeremy, where have you been? We haven't seen an update on this blog for awhile. Are you still racing?

Hello dirt track auto racing fans. I apologize for being so out of touch. I have been trying to raise money and get sponsors, but lately even the sponsors who said yes seem to be backing out using the economy as an excuse. The bad economy is one reason sponsors are not as willing to spend any money this year.

I am entertaining buyers for the red and white modified you see here because I want to race this year. I started a new job and have been out of town quite a bit here and there so that puts a great damper on having time to keep building this modified. I want to race badly so I am in the process of finding a car that is ready to go that I can get back on the track with. All of this stuff takes time and although I am disappointed that I couldn't come up with enough paying sponsors this year to get my car done on time, there is always next year.

Dirt track auto racing has it's ups and downs. It is expensive and when the cost of fuel went up, the drivers on the track went down somewhat. There are still the diehards and those who win enough money to keep up their hobby or profession. For the little guy though, even little guys who win, in this economy it is a lot tougher to keep the car on the track.

That's what's been up with me. When I get my new car I'll get some pictures up and let you know what's going on, but for now, I'll be on the road again next week and meeting with prospective buyers each weekend. Go for the sport. You will have so much fun if you find an old beater and fix it up for the track. Go get some dirt in your eye!

They will be adding new products and so will we hopefully in the first part of next year. We need to raise money to get Jeremy back on track so we are going to be trying different ways to do that. We are researching to find unique dirt track items to sell and, at the same time, we want to have these organizations benefit by donating part of the proceeds to St. Jude's Hospital and to the Cystic Fibrosis Organizations. Jeremy and his family are heavily involved in Cystic Fibrosis due to one of their 11 year old family members dying from that terrible disease.
