Oct 7/09. WOW! what a busy past few weeks we have had. What a weekend at Batesville Speedway with 89 of the best street stocks in the U.S. trying for 28 starting spots we were blessed to get in the show by a name draw provisional, starting 27th and finishing 21st. We ran much better than our finish showed, but I'm not sure we could have raced our way in through the 2nd b-main. Our b-main had 4 previous Nationals winners in it and even though we were pretty quick we would have had to outrun our new friend Trey Bright in the 81 who came from dead last to 2nd, the final transfer spot, and he almost won it. Like us Trey had probably one of the smallest engines in the field and had to drive the wheels off the car to make it. In the A- main double file restarts really hurt our finish as the "big motor' cars would get us. We would lose 3-5 spots on every restart and we would have to work our way back by those cars,then another caution and here we go again. All-in-all it is an experience everyone should try, you will meet many great folks and make many new friends. I want to say thanks to Carolona Trailers, Hightower Racing Transmissions and JT-1 Racing Engines for all they have done to help our program. Also thanks to Trey Bright, Gary Barham and thier family and crews for the help and frienships we made while at Batesville. Next up is the Nash Brick BrickDirt Super Street Nationals at Clary's Speedway in Brinkleyville N.C. on Oct 9-10.
Wish us luck and may God Bless

After what has been a rough year with the loss of our mother, several dnf's, and a lot of crashes and parts breakage it sure felt good to seal the deal friday night August 13th at Boyd's Speedway with a feature event win. "It finally went our way and the good Lord blessed us with a win, our first A feature win since 2007" said a very excited Tim at the autograph session after the races. "Now with this win, 4 runner up spots, several top 5's and 4 heat wins we finally have everything rolling. It couldn't come at a better time with us heading out to Batesville Speedway for the Street Stock Nationals next month."

7/23/11. After working on the car all day Saturday we left late and headed south down I-75 for North Georgia Speedway. Our goal was just to make it in time to race and have some fun, but as usual the good Lord blessed us again. Originally they didn't have their minimum number of cars to race the Econo/B- Hobby division by itself so they raced with the Modified Hobby, but by the time the heat races where over enough of us had made it to seperate the two classes and have seperate features. We started the feature on the back row and two laps in I got too high in turn 4 and spun on what was a racey but dry-slick racetrack. I re-started on the rear of the field, changed the "line" I was racing in and started working our way to the front. By a lap 13 caution we had made it to 2nd. and On the restart I was able to pull the T39 along side of leader Grimsley in the 64. Once in the lead we were able to pull out to a several car length lead for our FIRST WIN at North Georgia and of 2011. I've got to thank my brother and car owner Mike Totherow for ALL the hard work he puts in to keep us on track and most importantly to our wonderful God for allowing to live in the greatest nation on earth and do what we love.
