This season I will be taking a year off to move to the Florida Keys with my family. I will be back for the 2009 racing season. I will either be driving a Legends Car or a Mini Sprint; I am still deciding on what to race. I am strongly considering racing on dirt!!! Thank you for your continued support! Please keep my family in your prayers as we begin this new chapter in our lives. I will keep you posted on our move and the process of the new race season so check back often!

Florida Race News
March 1, 2008
The National MMRA Speedweeks race in Bronson, Florida had some ups and downs for our team. The 8 day trip had some rain and also beautiful sunny days! Bronson Motor Speedway is a 3/8 mile high banked short oval race track. There were 10 drivers competing in the Future Stars division all with high hopes of taking home a win. Our team brought home a 4th place trophy, $170, along with the #92 Pink Panther in pieces! Here is a recap of what happened in the 4 day event:
Day 1 February 13 - This was the first practice day and the car was running fast and smooth. Taylor spun out about 6 times in turn 4 in the same spot. At the end of practice she was feeling confident for the next days race ready to take on the boys!!!
Day 2 February 14 - Thursday was the first day of racing and Taylor was excited to get back on the track! She qualified 4th and the field was inverted and she started on the pole. 3 laps into the race, she was running 3rd while going into turn 3, her and two other cars go three wide! Taylor gets loose in turn 4 and spins out and gets hit by the #17. Pink Panther received minor fiberglass damage but the #17 couldn't continue on. She had to start from the rear of the field and she picks them off one at a time passing 3 cars in 3 laps. She caught up to the #47 that was running 3rd; during turns 1 & 2 while passing the #47, Pink Panther got in the dirt, almost spun out, but she saved him by cutting through the infield! After the awesome save three cars passed her but she passed them right back! Taylor finished 4th in this race - her first race of the season!!!
Day 3 February 15 - Taylor went out to practice and the car was fast and she finally nailed turn 4 without any spin outs!!! She qualified 3rd and the field was inverted so she started on the outside pole. Once the race started while going into turn 2 she was bumped. She spun out and the car was hit by other drivers in all directions. It was a wild ride! The axle was bent and the chain was broke on the car so she couldn't continue the race. This was her first wreck! Pink Panther was towed in and David & Taylor started tearing the car apart. It took about 8 1/2 hours to repair the damage on Pink Panther. He was up and rearing to go the next morning. Taylor placed 9th and won $50 from DBV Properties for a caution free race.
Day 4 February 16 - Taylor was ready to hit the track with anticipation of winning that days race. She took a practice run to see how Pink Panther recovered from his injuries. While scrubbing off the tires during turn 2 the chain came off and the car slammed into the wall and almost flips over. This accident was due to a shock that was bent and when unnoticed during the repairs of the previous wreck. The axle was bent again but only slightly. Taylor didn't get to qualify due to the accident; she started last in the race. This started out as a clean, fun race with a couple of spin outs by other drivers. When there were only 3 laps left, three cars get together and spin out. The #17 backs up the track and Taylor had nowhere to go! She hits him in the rear corner of his car and they end up nose to nose! This wreck caused extensive damage to the car; broke all the front suspension, broke the front end of the fiberglass off the car, and so much more!!! Pink Panther was ready to load up and head back to Oklahoma for some TLC! Taylor placed 8th in this race.
All together our team had an awesome time in Florida. We met other drivers, made new friends, and some memories! We want to give a special thanks to all who helped during Pink Panther's repairs: Roy & Brenda Sumter, Austin Fullerton (Grasshopper), Go Roe Racing, and Robin Cohoon.
The first race at JRP Speedway is April 5th. Check the race schedule for start times.
