September 10, 2005
|
Finished 11th out of 30 cars. Met my goal of finishing. Off on
tire pressures. Brakes wore completely out.
|
|
|
August 2005
|
Met Rick Durbin who was moving up to Pure Stock. Bought his
Enduro operation and started changing/personalizing the car for
our needs.
|
| |
July 2005
|
Contacted Charlie Pennsinger #10 on if he knew of any cars for
sale in the area. He sent me in the direction of a few.
|
| |
2005
|
Decided that I wanted to get back into stock car racing. Went to
several Enduro Races at Hagerstown Speedway and decided
late in the season I wanted to get a car.
|
| |
August 2004
|
Matt wins his first East Coast event at Winchester, VA; blowing
the motor. He later sold the truck to Kevin Abshire of Big K's.
|
| |
2003-2004
|
Matt sells his tractor and purchases the Gone AWOL truck
from Gene Fannie. This came back around to a more familiar
setting. Matt had the truck for several seasons winning co-rookie
of the year and top 10 in points.
|
| |
2001-2002
|
Went over to Matt Henderson with his Mod Turbo 1066
International. Learned about diesel tractors and pulling vehicles
that I had not had a lot of experience with before.
|
| |
1999-2000
|
Ran several National events along with the East Coast Series
as a crew member with RB Moler.
|
| |
1999
|
RB decided to go pulling on a National Level. We did take a
trip to Florida to pull in a Modified Brush Pull. Ran the Modified
Street Truck against the National trucks and ended up about
mid-pack.
|
| |
1998
|
Went back with RB Moler to work on his new 6800 Modified 4x4.
We always had limited success, could never get it all together
with his truck.
|
| |
1995
|
Went out and bought a 1970 Mack Tractor Trailer to haul the
truck to different events. Made some changes to truck, some
worked and some did not. Determined at that point I needed to
update my equipment and decided to set out a couple of
seasons.
|
| |
1994
|
We went back on our own with our own motors and fabrication.
The truck has another successful year winning several times
locally.
|
|
|
Early 1994
|
We took a team approach with RB Moler (to the X-Treme) to
win both the 5500/6500 Stock Class and RB's truck to win the
5500/6500 Modified Class. Our truck won both big fairs in
Berkeley and Jefferson Counties.
|
|
|
August 1993
|
Berkeley County Youth Fair - I borrowed a 468 big block motor
from a friend to put in this truck to run a couple of times at the
local fairs. At the time the Ford trucks were fairly dominate of
the Stock Truck class. The evening of the fair at 3:00 pm, the
truck had no rear in it, no exhaust, and no wheels or tires. This
group of guys helped me get the truck pulled on the track to hook.
The announcer was making fun of it; shortly after that we pulled
about 20 feet in front of the rest of the field. Later that year, the
truck also won at Jefferson County Fair.
|
| |
1990
|
Duane Melius would let me take his Daredevil/Grocery Getter
out for warm ups which got me hooked.
|
| |
1989
|
Berkeley County Fairs - Took my 1965 GMC V6 truck and
was running against Big Block Trucks, never did anything, but had
fun. The truck was a graduation present from my parents for
graduating high school.
