Thanks guys! It really is cool to have the whole family racing together. With school and work schedules it gets harder and harder, but we do it every chance we get. Here's a pic of the whole Team "Day Ja Vu" compliments of Scott Singleton at SSRacingphotos

She was cutting lights and running the number all day. She had some very tough competition. I am so proud of her.

A big special thanks goes out to Circle D Transmissions and Circle D Specialties for building us a deadly consistent transmission and converter.

Another big thanks goes out to Erik Koenig of HKE Racing Engines for building a very stout 408 pump gas engine that will take all we can throw at it. We have just over 300 passes on this engine now.
