Matthew ran his first winged sprint car race with tbara sat. nightat Citrus COunty Speedway. His stats for the night were, I started 10th and finished 7th in the heat and started 18th and "finished" 12th in the feature. I had to start in the rear because of the rookie status and was just getting comfortable in the car. I was starting to pass a couple more cars, when about ten laps into the race the motor let go crossing the start/finish line. Not sure how bad yet, but it looks pretty nasty. We will keep you posted, but the good thing to take from the night was we were pretty fast out of the gate, especially for the first time in it with a wing and without any practice before Saturday.

SALEM, Ind. – Aaron Pierce led the final few yards of the Winged Sprint Spectacular at Salem, in a thrilling debut of the BioBased US Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series. Pierce took the white flag in third place behind race leader Troy DeCaire and Jason Blonde, and a few moments later Blonde made a final try to the inside as the two cars entered turn three. DeCaire wiggled and snagged the outside wall, while Blonde spun to the inside. DeCaire’s bent machine slid along the front straightaway, sliding to a stop a few yards short of the finish. Pierce steered clear of the melee and flashed across the finish line ahead of veteran Jeff Bloom and a surging Tim Cox. Jason Cox was fourth with Mike Ling completing the top five. The night began in spectacular fashion when Blonde shattered the track record with a 14.224 clocking. Heats were won by Pierce, Blaze Martin, and Jimmy McCune, while Tim Cox won the B-main. The 30-lap feature provided a spectacular display of banzai racing, with the highlight being DeCaire’s amazing move to wrest the race lead from Bloom. Troy finished 9th after the tangle on the last lap.

We would like to wish Traci well in her move to Warrenton, Virginia today. She had a job transfer is why she had to move. Traci will still race with Central Florida Wingless Sprint Car Assoc. where she was Rookie of the Year in 2009 when she is able to fly back to florida, which will be as often as possible. Traci will miss all of her friends down in sunny warm Florida. It is very cold in VA today 10 degrees for a low and a high of 25 degrees today. Terry, Sandi & Troy will miss her being around the house all the time but they all wish her well in her new venture. This is a giant step for Traci and we know all her fans wish her well. We will let everyone know what & when Traci will be back in Florida to race her sprint car. Traci is looking for some sponsorship to help her with the cost of flying to florida so she can race since there is no asphalt sprint car racing in VA. Good luck with your job in VA Traci,
We will all miss you Traci.

Jason Blonde #42 doesn't settle for 2nd at Berlin.
Blonde captures the feature win on last lap beating out the fast paced #81 of Troy Decaire. All 18 drivers ran a tremendous race as heard by fans " one of the best races yet". The feature race under full moon night skies set #81 DeCaire on the pole along side 20k Flint. With an invert of ten for the feature line-up #42 Blonde started inside 5th row: 9th position. Blonde made an early pace as Decaire was running at first two to three car length's ahead of the pack. The first caution with 10 laps completed set the field back in line #42 had to make strides in lap traffic and get around the powerful car of Jim Swain #46 who held spots between two, three and four the whole thirty lap ride. With the# 81 in lapped traffic #42 set sights on the win. DeCaire would not let up with his continued pace around the track. During the white flag lap #42 overtook the lead to win the feature. Mike Ling #55 who started outside 3rd row; 6th spot, finished third. If you would like to see the Stars and the Cars of the Auto Value Bumper to Bumper Super Sprint series.

Here is the weekend recap for Troy DeCaire at the florabama TBARA races. On friday night at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, FL Troy had some minor motor problems all night as the motor kept laying down on the starights but would run good in the turns. Troy finished a very respectable 4th. They found the problem at the motel on sat. morning when they discovered the timing was off on the engine. Then on sat night at Mobile Int'l Speedway in Mobile, AL they had an oil leak in practice but quickly fixed that problem. While running his heat race Troy dropped a tire of the racing surface on the back straight and went for a wild ride in the grass backwards then doing a couple of 360's before finally coming to a stop on the track. When the tracks rescue was slow on responding to Troy one of the crew members went to check on him since he was not moving in the car, Troy was fine just tring to get his wits about him, but because his crew member went to check on him TBARA offcials DQ'd Troy from the heat race. So that put Troy at the rear of the grid for the 30 lap feature event. Troy then put on a show that had the fans standing on thier feet has he was rim riding around the outside of the track turning laps in excess of 130+ mph. With a few laps to go he finally got in his nose in front of Steele but a yellow came out so Troy had restart behind Steele and then TBARA decided to put cars several laps down in between Steele and Troy which should not happen when you do not count cautions but sometimes rules are made for certain situations. Troy finished a close 2nd to Steele in the fianl rundown. According to the track promoter Troy put on a show like he has never seen before. They (track officials) are not use to watching someone pass on the outside of the track sometimes 4 wide at those kind of speeds. After the races Troy went to congratulate Dave Steele for winning the race and putting on a great show. After Troy's 4th and 2nd place finishes and with Dave Steele winning both races Troy dropped to second in points nine behind Steele. Both race tracks had sell out crowds for the weekend and it looks like TBARA will be going back to these tracks next year.
Troy will be off to DeSoto Super Speedway this coming saturday night July 18 to put on a another great show.

Ovid, Michigan (Saturday, July 4, 2009): A strong field of fire breathing, winged warriors known as the Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Super Sprints were lined up for their 30-lap feature event as Jimmy Swain would lead the field down to the green, but it was outside pole sitter, Canadian Ryan Litt, who would hop out to lead the first lap.
Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame member Jeff Bloom would not let young Litt get too far out of sight, as he followed right behind him. But, Litt would not be intimidated as Bloom tried everything in his bag of tricks to get around the young Canadian.
Litt, from London, Ontario / Canada wouldn’t be denied as the driver of the BS&B Radiator Sprinter went on to take the feature win, the first feature for the Super Sprints at Owosso since 2007, and first ever for Litt at the Big “O” Bloom would settle for second, with Jimmy McCune third, two-time defending Series Champion Jason Blonde and Swain were the top five.
Derek Snyder moved up from 11th to finish a strong sixth, as Tampa, Florida invader, Troy DeCaire, Chad Goff, Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame member Bill Tyler and Mike Astrauskas completed the top 10.
Bloom set fast time over the 21-car field with a 13.158 around the 3/8s (0.375) mile high-banked paved oval and won a heat. Goff and McCune took the other heat race wins.

BRADENTON, Fla. - TBARA point leader Troy DeCaire notched his second consecutive victory at DeSoto Super Speedway Saturday night as he copped the 30 lap main event for the winged sprint cars.
Starting 12th in the 25 car field, DeCaire quickly blasted from his outside row starting position using his now familiar three wide passes to move to fifth on the first lap before the yellow waved for a crash by Joey Aguilar. Aguilar was uninjured but his car was finished for the night.
On the restart it was Ben Fritz in his bright red No. 16 on the point with Brad Davis, Sonny Hartley and Kipp Beard in tow. DeCaire once again jumped to the outside on the banked 3/8 oval quickly picking off cars one by one until he motored by Fritz for the lead on lap 10.
With DeCaire comfortably in front, all eyes turned to the black No. 14 of Dave Steele and he sliced and diced his way into the top five and began to close in on the fleet DeCaire. With no further yellow flags to bunch the field, Steele ran out of laps and settled for runner-up money over Shane Butler, Fritz and Beard. Completing the top 10 were Blaze Martin, Bo Hartley, Mickey Kempgens, Dakotah Stephens, and Davis.

The Dave Steele dominance of early season TBARA events came to a halt Saturday night at DeSoto Super Speedway as defending series champion Troy DeCaire copped the 30 lap feature run on Valentine's Day night.
Steele took the challenge offered by track promoter John Sarppraicone to start shotgun on the 18 car field for a $500. bonus and he wasted no time in heading to the front. On lap six a yellow waved for Wendy Mathis who had a mechanical problem and Steele had already gained 11 positions and his sights were on the leaders. Blaze Martin paced the field over Bo Hartley and Shane Butler, but when the next yellow flew on lap 13 Steele lay fifth in the order.
DeCaire got around Martin for the lead on lap 18 with most eyes on Steele and his steady, methodical move toward the front. A lap 23 restart saw the order DeCaire, Martin, Steele and Butler and it only took two laps for Steele to dispose of Martin and then run down DeCaire's purple mount. The final yellow of the night came on lap 28, so it would be a two lap shootout as Steele aimed for his fourth victory in as many events to kick off the 2009 season. The green waved and Steele's mount failed him on lap 29 as the driveline came apart and DeCaire sped to the victory ahead of Joey Aguilar, Martin, Butler and Mickey Kempgens.
