Jeremy's Dirt Track Auto Racing Late Model Lying in Waiting
Jeremy's Fastrak late model that used to take up the whole garage is now mostly dismantled and in pieces in the back of the garage. For the first time EVER, the whole family gets to drive their vehicles the whole way into the garage, a great benefit, especially in the middle of winter!
One thing to keep in mind when building a dirt track auto racing car is that you need the space to work on your car. There is always some repair that needs to be made after every race, and even if a repair isn't needed, maintenance definitely is, along with a good car wash. So make sure you have the space available before deciding to purchase or build a modified race car or you will have a hard time keeping up with all that needs to be done with it. Most individuals who race hold down full time jobs and dirt track racing is just a little bit more than a hobby. That's why having your own space is so important. You won't have the time to be locating places to work on your car when you need to.
Just a thought for anyone who is considering getting into dirt track auto racing. We will keep you apprised of any progress through the winter. Enjoy the holiday season! Stay safe.

Jeremy's Fastrak Late Model Honor's Deceased Coal Miners
Dirt track auto racing is all about family for most of the racers who participate. On Thursday, July 15, 2010, the Mount Pleasant Journal, a local community newspaper did an article about the Zufall family and how they are honoring the miners who died at the Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, WV.
Joy Mining Machinery is one of Jeremy's sponsors and Jason Hagg, who is Supervisor of Graphic Production for Joy, had Jeremy's late model wrapped in a coal theme. The car gets quite a few second looks everywhere it goes.
Jeremy's family has been in dirt track auto racing for generations. They are happy to not only display the designs provided to them by Joy, but are happy to have a chance to honor all of the men and women who put their lives on the line everyday to produce the coal that we need to make our life here in America so much better.

Dirt Track Auto Racing can run through family generation after generation.
Jeremy's dad and pap are just a few of the dirt track auto racers in the family - 3 generations shown here.

Jeremy Continues to Build His Late Model Dirt Track Car
Here's to making progress. By day, the first picture shows that Jeremy has made some progress since the pic in our last blog. He is slowly building the frame for his late model dirt track car.
It's dark outside. The garage is dimly lit too, but the work must go on to complete the car. You can see some added metal to the car in this picture.
Remember, this is a process.
The dirt track cars have to be built from the ground up in many cases and in pieces. If you have the money to purchase one that is ready to go, by all means, do it. If not, you buy the parts and you build your own.
It's a lot of work, but when the finished product comes together, it's something to be proud of. When you go to the track you will see dirt track auto racers who have it all. They have the beautiful huge trailers to pull their cars. They have the best looking cars and lots of parts waiting in the wings to replace anything that is damaged. But what you see here is how many dirt track racers get their starts. They do it themselves. In Jeremy's case, he has an amazing family and some very loyal friends that come together to help him get the cars together.
If you want to race, make sure you set aside some time and money because you will need both. The reward? Sitting on the dirt track just waiting for the heat race to begin, hearing the roar of the engines, and eventually, being the one who crosses that finish line first!
