Jefferson City, MO

A good time was had by all in Jefferson City, MO.  On Friday night, the Lil’ Whip made a beautiful pass and took second.  The Bullwhip finished 10th and lost a throttle cable at around 200 feet.  Saturday, thanks to some fast work by Dean Hagen of Swearingen Motorsports, we got new throttle cables for the tractor and were ready to roll out to the scales in plenty of time.  On Satuday night, the Bullwhip went 275 feet in the NTPA unlimited class.  Our troublesome hemi ran a little fat, but it ran and all the throttle cables and blower belts stayed in tact.  In the Outlaw 2 wheel drive class Saturday night, disaster struck.  At about 310 feet in the last part of a picture perfect pass, the motor of the Lil Whip had catastophic failure and Donald rolled to a stop at 313.5 feet.  On more careful examination, there is not much left of the block.  Now both the tractor and the truck are safely in the hands of the experts at Swearingen Motorsports getting ready for Wheatland!  We cannot wait to see everyone at the Lucus Oil Motor Speedway on Sepetember 10, 2011.
