Such was the case this afternoon in yet another run for the Steve Copp Construction sponsored Winter Series Enduro race for Hornet Cars. Twenty cars lined up for two hours or two-hundred laps of racing on a cool day with light showers for most of the race that didn't seem to slow the drivers down by a whole lot.

Posted: 03/06/10 SUN VALLEY ANNOUNCEMENT Sun Valley announces their new name and posts their 2010 schedule. Posted: 03/02/10 BODINE'S "NIGHT TRAIN"
The four-man team team consisted of Steve Holcomb, Driver; Justin Olson, Push athlete; Steve Mesler, Push Athlete; and Curtis Tomasevicz, Brakeman won the gold medal by 0.38 seconds over the favored Germany 1 team. Bodine was in attendance to see witness the historical event. It was a successful Olympics for the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project as the women's team with Erin Pac and Elana Meyers took the bronze medal. The team of Bree Schaaf and Emily Azevedo was fifth and Shauna Rohbock and Michelle Rzepa was sixth. Holcomb and Tomasevicz finished sixth in the two-man competition. Holcomb's gold medal achieved the goal that Bodine, the 1986 Daytona 500 champion, set in 1992 after he noticed that USA Bobsled was competing with European made sleds. He teamed up with Bob Cuneo, owner of Chassis Dyanmics and they created the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project Inc., a "Made in America" sled project. At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City they broke the medal drought with a silver and a bronze in the four-man competition along with a gold in the women's competition. The win on Saturday, along with Bodine being there, fulfilled a long time dream, "I always watched the Olympics when I was a boy and dreamed about being up there," Bodine said in a statement on the Bo-Dyn Bobsled site. "When I see our bobsled athletes on the podium it is like it is me up there." Last month, Bodine was behind the wheel of a stock car and competed in the ASA Transcontinental Series Free State 500 event at the Phakisa Freeway Circuit in Welkom, Free State, South Africa. He was the fast qualifier for the event and was on his way to victory until he ran out of fuel with three laps to go, handing the win over to John Mickel. Bodine is also an active competitor in the ISCARS Dash Series Sanctioned by ASA. "We are very excited for Geoff and his Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project on achieving this great accomplishment," Dennis Huth, ASA President. "Geoff is very proud of this project and it shows that hard work pays off. As we were surrounded by gold mines at Phakisa, Geoff would smile anytime someone asked him about his bobsled project. He had a good feeling after the four-man team won the world championships last year and we are pleased that he was there to witness it in person."

Biffle also announced the formation of the "DAA Spec Motor Series presented by Sherwin Williams" a new late model series with title sponsorship from DAA Northwest and Sherwin-Williams. Biffle, a northwest native recalls the importance of grassroots racing and see¹s his involvement in Sunset Speedway and the DAA Spec Motor Series as an opportunity to help up-and-coming racers. "I remember starting out and how tough it was," stated Biffle. "I would work on other people's race cars during the day and then mine all night. I think it's important having a racetrack and series that operates week in and week out, giving every driver a place to showcase all their hard work." "I grew up racing on small tracks in the Northwest and I'm excited about partnering with Jerry to provide a safe and exciting place for guys to race," explained Biffle. "We've made some great improvements for the racers and the fans. We've strengthened the point's fund and have added new bleachers and other fan friendly amenities. We're hoping to make Sunset Speedway a weekly destination for both racers and families." The DAA Spec Motor Series presented by Sherwin-Williams will see late model drivers from around the Northwest compete in 22 events on six tracks for a piece of the $25,000 series point¹s fund. DAA Northwest, a wholesale auto auction located in Spokane, Washington, has announced it's commitment to sponsor the DAA Northwest Spec Motor Series in conjunction with Sherwin Williams. DAA's owners and auto auction veterans Bob McConkey and Greg Mahugh are closely tied to the Pacific Northwest's automotive community. "All of us in the industry have a passion for cars - and racing embodies that spirit." says Mahugh. "We are proud to support Greg Biffle's efforts in bringing the Spec Motor Series to our region," adds McConkey. "DAA Northwest's values are Integrity, Excellence, Professionalism and Fun. We consider these values in every major decision we make, and when it came to the Series, everything fit." Sunset Speedway will begin the 2010 season starting April 10, for more information visit Sunset Speedway . The inaugural season of the DAA Spec Motor Series presented by Sherwin-Williams starts April 24 at the Willamette Speedway in Lebanon, Oregon.

Posted: 02/24/10 WESTERN SPEEDWAY ENDURO  Check our Hornet page for Western Speedway's winter Enduro action! Posted: 02/21/10 IGNITE RACE FUEL Submitted by: Andrew doCouto Race Director Ignite Race Fuels is offering a premium product to the racing industry and has chosen us to help them market this product to our fellow racers. We have the opportunity to be the leaders in making this fuel one of the pinnacle fuels in motorsports. As with all new ventures there will be some trials and tribulations, along with details to work out. Taking ownership and developing any product as your own in business is good business, and let's face it we are all in the business of Motorsports. Just like Fountain tire has done with Goodyear, and McDonalds with their Big Mac, many companies are well known for their exclusivity of a product or service in their market place. This empowers them to attract new product in the future, or increases their buying power with current suppliers who are looking to get involved with a well know presence in the market place. With our proven track record, we now could command a higher discount or in our case, a larger investment from the company into our race programs for marketing their product or service. The BIG PICTURE means larger purses, bigger year end points funds, and recognition by your team's marketing partners involvement. Ignite is available in 108, 111, and 114 octane ratings. Each batch of fuel distilled and mixed is tested to make sure it meets all of the properties and specifications designed to work for our race cars in that octane group. The yellow 111 octane product has been specifically formulated for higher compression engines, with the 108 green being recommended in most racing applications. Ignite assures the racer that each barrel of fuel will be the same and will not fluctuate in octane and other important properties. This fuel will run cleaner and the engine will run cooler thanks to its Ethanol component. You will need to change a few things on your race car to make it compatible with running this fuel, however like most things in life sometimes you have to look at it as short term pain for long term gain. For those interested you can contact me personally and we can discuss what is needed. Tests have shown that racers will consume between 10%-13% more of this product compared to conventional racing fuels. However this fuel is less expensive by almost $150 per barrel. Details on price are still in negotiations due to the governments looking at how much tax they will apply to the fuel. We are looking for volunteers to help us test this fuel in the ARCA West Series, and yes there is some direct assistance from Ignite and ARCA West for switching over race cars to being compatible. In closing, Jasper Engines received product for testing on some race engines in December, and I am working on getting some results for us. Willie's Carbs is on board with dyno testing and change overs. With ARCA West being the series of choice, supply will not be an issue to our drivers. We have been given the opportunity to join other leading edge companies in this pioneering venture. Let's make it ours!!!! For more info on this fuel, please contact me personally, or visit the website Posted: 02/21/10 CANADA WEST RACING AT VANCOUVER 2010 OLYMPICS!
